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:
“Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
