2011 Engine Update
A new 1.6 dCi engine replaces the previous 2.0 dCi. Peak power is down from 148 to 128 bhp (95 kW; 130 PS), but there’s the same 236 lb·ft (320 N·m) of torque, available at 1750 rpm, rather than 2000 rpm. Nissan hasn’t released full performance figures, but says the 1.6 dCi has a quicker 30-50 mph acceleration figure than the 2.0 dCi.
Nissan has also added its Around View Monitor as standard equipment for Tekna versions of the Qashqai and Qashqai +2. The system uses a set of external cameras to create a 360-degree view of the car to help with parking manoeuvres. The driver can focus on any camera to look out for a particular obstacle.

Famous quotes containing the word engine:
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
