Comments

The Nissan Qashqai copes well with reducing its pollutant emissions. It scores above average in all lab and street tests and demonstrates good control of particle output and standard emission species. Like other petrol powertrains, the unregulated NH3 (ammonia) emissions present a challenge for this vehicle and there is room for improvement. The results in the laboratory tests are in line with the behaviour on the open road. With a Clean Air Index of 7, the Qashqai proves that clean combustion vehicles are already in the market.

Comments

The 12V mild hybrid system in the Nissan Qashqai offers only a limited possibility to improve the consumption figures. Approximately 6.5 l/100 km are needed in both WLTC+ laboratory tests, as well as in the real world On-Road Drive. In the Highway Test, an additional 2 liters are consumed, resulting in 8.7 l/100 km. This increase is not unexpected, due to the vehicle's SUV body and is partly associated with the increasing aerodynamic drag at higher speeds.

Comments

The Greenhouse Gas Index is based on a Well-to-Wheel+ approach, meaning that the greenhouse gas emissions related to the supply of energy are added to the tailpipe emissions. In the WLTC+ laboratory tests, around 38 g CO2-eq. of the fuel supply are added to a tailpipe value of some 147 g/km, resulting in a mediocre score. The Nissan scores zero points in the Highway Test, where the total greenhouse gas emissions sum up to a total W-t-W+ value of 247 g CO2-eq. On the plus side, N2O and CH4 emissions are very low, demonstrating again the good performance of the exhaust aftertreatment system.

Our verdict

Tested here is the Nissan Qashqai, equipped with the 1.3 liter turbocharged petrol engine. The car demonstrates a well-functioning pollutant control system with potential to improve especially for the currently unregulated NH3 emissions. The good laboratory result can also be easily reproduced on the street, significantly lowering the impact of combustion engine vehicles on air quality. Like other SUVs, the Qashqai struggles with increased fuel consumption during dynamic highway driving and higher speeds. With 6.7 l/100 km in the real world On-Road test, however, the number is a relatively good value for a petrol SUV. Closely related to the fuel demand are also the greenhouse gas emissions, which don't help the Qashqai reach more than 2½ Green stars with an Weighted Overall Index of 4.3.
