Spy Shots – Nissan Qashqai Facelift

After being postponed from October 2020 due to the COVOD pandemic, the third generation Nissan Qashqai was officially launched in February 2021. Now, some two and a half years later, our spies in Germany have snapped a first set of pictures of what’s to become the midcycle facelift of the Japanese compact SUV.

Despite the camouflage, a new grille and bumper are visible at front – plus new taillights and a modified rear skirt.

As in the current model, a diesel power will not be available, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the 1.3 DIG-T Mild-Hybrid would be taken off the program as well, leaving the 190-hp 1.5 VC-T e-Power the only option before am all-electric variant might follow in 2025. After all, the British magazine Autocar reports that Europe boss Guillaume Cartier has promised pure electric versions of the Qashqai, Juke and X-Trail by 2025.
