The Qashqai 3 is already offering its first special series. Called N-Style, it displays the same prices as the N-Connecta finish, but with different equipment: if there are a few additions, the digital instrumentation is replaced by conventional meters. Opening bid: € 34,090.
At first glance, the new Qashqai N-Style looks very good. This special series is offered at the same price as the third N-Connecta trim level, but adds some equipment reserved so far for the top-of-the-range Tekna version. As a bonus, it indeed receives an induction smartphone charger and 19-inch alloy wheels, instead of “only” 18 inches. The rest of the endowment is strictly identical… except for one big detail. The novelty swaps the latest digital instrumentation in 12.3-inch format for classic needle counters., surrounding a 7-inch screen. A “regression” that has already been observed on certain models of the Renault group, such as the Captur or Arkana, and which is undoubtedly linked to the current semiconductor shortage.
Only two engines and one option
The price-equipment ratio remains attractive, however. Like the N-Connecta finish, which has so far accounted for 50% of sales according to Nissan, this Qashqai N-Style is priced at 34,090 € with the 1.3 turbo-petrol mild-hybrid 140 hp associated with a manual gearbox, or € 37,190 with the 1.3 mild-hybrid 158 hp and the Xtronic automatic transmission. Its standard equipment includes in particular:
- two-tone body
- NissanConnect navigation system with 9-inch center display
- Apple Wireless CarPlay
- Nissan Connect Services
- four-camera panoramic vision
- front and rear parking sensors
- intelligent cruise control with adjustment to speed limits on request
- modular boot floor
- blind spot monitoring system
- electric handbrake
- hill start aid
- intelligent rear collision warning system with detection of moving objects
- 19 inch rims
- induction smartphone charger
However, unlike the N-Connecta finish, this special series only offers one option, the temporary spare tire, and it is not available in a 4×4 version.
