Nissan confirms cheapest e-Power hybrid yet for Australia

Nissan Australia has confirmed a new, more affordable Qashqai e-Power hybrid that will become the most accessible model to utilise the brand’s electrified tech Down Under.

The 2025 Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power joins the Ti-L and N-Design in the local lineup, bringing the price of entry down to $47,165 before on-road costs. It’s the first time the Qashqai e-Power has dipped below the $50,000 barrier.

It’s also more affordable than the larger X-Trail ST-L e-Power (from $49,490), though its larger sibling not only offers more space but a more powerful twin-electric motor drive system.

As for spec, the Qashqai Ti e-Power emulates the standard specification of the petrol-only Qashqai Ti, which is priced $4200 lower at $42,965 before on-roads. Orders are open now, with initial stock already arriving in the country.

As with existing model variants, the Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power is powered by a series hybrid system that combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine running a variable compression ratio with a power generator, inverter and electric motor.

System outputs are rated at 140kW/330Nm, driving the front wheels only. Nissan includes its e-Pedal driving mode and regenerative braking to “further enhance the EV-like drive experience”.

The lack of a traditional gearbox means the Qashqai e-Power is driven only by the electric motor, whereas the turbocharged petrol engine generates electricity transferred via the inverter to either the front e-motor or the 1.8kWh battery pack – or both, depending on driving conditions.

Nissan quotes combined fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km compared to the petrol Qashqai’s 6.1L/100km, though the gap is widened in real-world conditions such as city driving.

Emissions are also down to 112g/km compared to 134-138g/km for the non-e-Power Qashqai range, with the hybrid model also homologated to Euro 6 emissions regulations rather than Euro 5.
