Get ready for a head-turning upgrade! Nissan’s hot-selling Qashqai just got a major makeover. They took inspiration from their electric car, the Ariya, and gave the Qashqai a sleek, futuristic look that’ll have everyone doing a double-take.
But it’s not just a pretty face; the inside is now even more comfortable and packed with the latest safety features. With SUVs everywhere these days, Nissan’s making sure the Qashqai stays ahead of the game. Buckle up, we’re about to dive into all the cool new features of the 2024 Nissan Qashqai!
Exterior Updates
The 2024 Qashqai introduces a sharper and more aggressive look, with design cues inspired by Japanese samurai helmets. The front now has a bigger, more noticeable grille with a special pattern that looks like ancient Japanese armor scales, making it stand out.

The rear of the Qashqai has undergone subtle changes, featuring redesigned taillights with a “super red” shade and clear lenses that mimic the front DRL design. The rear bumper has also been reprofiled to provide a more sporty appearance.
Trim Levels and Wheel Options
The Qashqai now offers a new trim level called N-Design, which includes body-colored wheel arches and a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels. Additionally, different trims offer varying wheel sizes from 17 to 20 inches, while customers can choose from 13 color options, including three new colors: Pearl White, Pearl Black, and Deep Ocean.
Interior Enhancements
Inside the Qashqai, Nissan has focused on enhancing comfort and style. Higher-spec trims like the N-Design and Tekna+ receive Alcantara on the dashboard, door inserts, and armrests. The N-Design model features black leather seats with quilting and embossed Qashqai badging.
The infotainment system now includes Google services, so drivers can use the Maps app and other services to find their favorite places. The Nissan Connect infotainment system now includes a larger, wide-format touchscreen, and upper grades benefit from ambient lighting.
Improved Safety and Connectivity
Safety technology has been updated in the 2024 Qashqai, including an enhanced Around View Monitor system with improved visibility thanks to four cameras. This system now offers eight selectable views and an “invisible bonnet” mode that displays the position of the wheels graphically.
The Qashqai now has a better autonomous emergency braking system that reacts faster to potential collisions. An intelligent speed assistant and data recording (digital black box) are standard across all versions.
Additionally, the infotainment system now includes voice control via “Hey Google,” while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available. The Nissan Connect app offers live tracking of the car’s location and remote immobilization through an optional subscription.
Powertrains and Performance
The powertrains remain consistent with the previous model. The Qashqai offers a choice of a 1.3-liter turbocharged petrol engine with mild hybrid technology, delivering either 140 PS or 158 PS. The latter is available with an Xtronic automatic transmission and optional all-wheel drive.
The SUV also features Nissan’s e-Power system, combining a pure 190 PS electric drive with a petrol engine serving as an on-board generator. The e-Power model delivers power solely to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission.
