Although it was reported that the next Qashqai will benefit from semi-autonomous technology, it seems that Nissan will
be offering it on the facelifted version of the compact SUV.
Believed to debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the vehicle will gain the Piloted Drive 1.0,
which will allow it to drive on its own during stop and go traffic, and on
motorways, by operating the steering, throttle and brake.
But don't expect any self-lane changes similar
to what Tesla are offering, as this is still a few years away, and will likely
debut after the turn of the decade.
Rolling out the Nissan Qashqai with this technology
won't dramatically affect its price, it will be a reasonable
price. The 2018 Nissan Qashqai will also come with a new
front end, which will probably be inspired by the Premium Concept that debuted
at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, sporting a new grille and bumper designs.
