Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2026 for Australia: 5-in-1 hybrid, features and prices

Nissan unveiled the Qashqai e-POWER 2026 in Australia and immediately went on the front foot: it revealed prices, the trim structure, and a refreshed interpretation of its hybrid system, now billed as '5-in-1'. For buyers, the idea is simple and convenient: the car always moves on electric power, while the 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine isn’t mechanically connected to the wheels and serves as a generator topping up the battery. The result is an electric-like drive without hunting for charging stations or dealing with plug-in routines—just fill up and go. It’s a pragmatic path for those who want EV smoothness with the flexibility of a fuel stop.

The '5-in-1' pitch is more than a catchy tag, as 32CARS.RU points out. Nissan describes a compact module that brings together five elements: the electric motor, generator, inverter, increaser, and reducer. The goal is higher efficiency and lower noise, plus steadier torque with no shifts or dips in response. Regeneration under braking remains central to the concept, while Sport Mode is said to add 10 kW. Claimed figures for the Qashqai e-POWER 2026 are 4.1 l/100 km combined and 92 g/km of CO2. On paper, that balance should translate into calm, consistent progress in everyday traffic.

There’s also a clear focus on equipment, a move that fits the Australian playbook: more connected services and more driver aids as standard. The list includes NissanConnect Services, the Nissan Intelligent Mobility Safety package, wireless charging, wireless smartphone integration, a 12.3-inch multimedia screen, dual-zone climate control, and a surround-view camera with extended modes, including 'skeleton hood' and T-junction views. The generous baseline spec should make daily use easier without reaching for the options sheet.

The way the range starts is particularly interesting. A new entry-level ST-L lowers the barrier to entry: from 45,640 Australian dollars. Above it sit the Ti from 49,640, the Ti-L from 53,640, and the N-Design from 54,140.
