Qashqai gets a facelift

The UK-built Qashqai receives new headlights, grille, bonnet and bumper. Out back the taillights get new LED lenses.

The drag coefficient on the updated Qashqai has dropped from 0.34 to 0.33 with the 2010 update, and aerodynamics have been improved to lower emissions, as well as weight reduction.

Inside, the instrument cluster has been redesigned for added clarity. The white LCD screen is geared to show plenty of information such as time, cruise control, average fuel consumption and the speed limiter.

Noise, vibration and harshness has been improved for 2010, with the addition of an ‘acoustic’ windscreen and a new multi-layer insulation material fitted around the front bulkhead.

More information is likely to be revealed as the launch for the 2010 Qashqai draws closer.
