2025 Nissan Qashqai receives facelift, fresher new looks
Nissan’s important model in Europe, the third-generation Qashqai, has just received a facelift update for the 2025 model, bringing a fresher look to its exterior appearance.
At first glance, the facelifted front end of the Nissan Qashqai reminds us of another crossover model produced by Nissan, namely the Ariya EV.
Compared to the previous model, Nissan has made changes to this area by removing the V-Motion chrome grille element, where the main grille structure has now increased in size and features a lattice design inspired by ancient Japanese military shields.
The graphic element of the daytime running lights (DRL) in the shape of an arrow is still retained but with a more ‘digital’ approach. The main headlamp units appear well concealed.
Regarding the rear, the changes are minimal, with the Qashqai showcasing different LED graphic light units, followed by a more sporty bumper.
As standard, the Qashqai comes with 18 to 19-inch wheel sets, while the new N-Design variant is equipped with 20-inch wheel sets.
Moving into the cabin, there is not much that has changed, except for the Android-based infotainment system that now offers Google Maps navigation and Google Assistant.
The Around View Monitor surveillance system now supports a three-dimensional display function, including an engine heads-up display (HUD) and a memory function for frequently used parking locations.
Unfortunately, there have been no changes made to the powertrain, where the Nissan Qashqai still retains the choice of a mild hybrid 1.3-liter engine (138 hp) or a 1.5-liter E-Power hybrid engine (187 hp).
The 2025 facelifted Nissan Qashqai is still being produced at the Nissan Sunderland plant in the UK and is expected to arrive in the European market in the near future.
