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.
