Nissan Australia has bumped up the value equation of
its popular Qashqai SUV with the release of a special edition, the Nissan
Qashqai N-Sport Special Edition.
With AUD 1800 worth of included accessories, the
N-Sport Special Edition gains 18-inch alloy wheels (over the standard 17-inch
rims) plus a host of what the company is calling ‘ice chrome’ detailing to
distinguish it from the standard spec Qashqai.
Detail trim receiving the ‘ice chrome’ treatment
include front and rear stying plates, front lip finisher, side door sills and
the lower trunk finisher. Available only on the Nissan Qashqai ST 2.0-litre
petrol variant, the N-Sport Special Edition is priced at AUD 28,690 plus on-road
costs, although the company is offering a AUD 26,990 drive-away deal until the end
of August.
The Qashqai is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder
petrol engine producing 144 Hp and 200 Nm of torque. It’s mated to the Xtronic
continuously variable transmission (CVT). Despite being at the entry point of
the Qashqai range, the N-Sport Special Edition is loaded with standard features
including cruise control, leather-accented steering wheel, rear-view camera and
LED daytime-running lights.
