The updated Nissan Qashqai e-POWER set a new efficiency benchmark during a long-distance fuel economy test.

The series-hybrid system delivered electric-like driving while achieving impressively low fuel consumption.

Improved powertrain efficiency and reduced noise helped the Qashqai cover a long distance on a single tank.

The Nissan Qashqai e-POWER has added another distinction to its resume. The Japanese automaker’s SUV earned a Guinness World Records title by covering 1,230 miles on a single tank of gas, setting the record for the longest journey ever completed by a non-plug-in electrified SUV with REEV technology. The result was achieved in Colombia, on a route that included cities, rural roads, and mountainous stretches, and was verified by Guinness World Records judges at the end of the test.

This was the third long-distance tesAt organized by Nissan, following similar efforts in the United Kingdom and Australia. The goal was to demonstrate the efficiency of the latest evolution of the e-POWER system in real-world driving conditions.
