Qashqai buyers in the UK can now purchase the compact crossover with ProPilot, Nissan’s most advanced driver assistance system. ProPilot is available as a £ 795 option on both Tekna and Tekna+ models powered by dCi 130 diesels with the Xtronic automatic transmission and bringing the starting price to £ 31,275 for the Tekna dCi 130 Xtronic version.


ProPilot can assist drivers with steering, acceleration and braking. It works in a single lane on highways and can handle both low-speed congestion as well as high-speed cruising.

Meanwhile, dCi 130 models with manual transmissions get a Drive Assist Pack for £ 495. It boasts Intelligent Lane Intervention, Intelligent Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist – so it can do pretty much everything the ProPilot can, except coming to a complete stop and then resuming driving.


In order to celebrate the arrival of ProPilot on the Qashqai in the UK, Nissan is also introducing a Pilot One Edition that’s based on the range-topping Tekna+ grade and is priced from £ 33,380. Naturally, it features ProPilot as standard and also comes with a Storm White Pearlescent body color, Plum Nappa leather interior, Xtronic Sports Pedals, a Chrome Exterior Styling Pack and ‘Pilot One Edition’ badges on the door entry guards and the interior.
