How much horsepower does the Nissan Qashqai 2.0 have?
2 Answers
Nissan Qashqai has two engine options: a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0 naturally aspirated engine delivers 150 horsepower, while the 1.2T turbocharged engine produces 117 horsepower. Introduction to horsepower: Horsepower is a unit of power, with the international unit of power being the watt. Horsepower is commonly used to measure car power, for example, a car's maximum power might be 130 horsepower. When maximum power occurs: For family cars, the ideal engine should have maximum torque at relatively low RPMs, while maximum power should occur at relatively higher RPMs.
As a long-time owner of the Qashqai, I clearly remember its 2.0L engine delivers around 143 horsepower. In real-world driving, this power is perfectly adequate for daily use—quick off-the-line response and no issues with highway overtaking. Paired with the CVT transmission, gear shifts are smooth without any jerkiness. Fuel consumption is well-managed, averaging about 7.5L/100km in city driving, with even better efficiency on occasional long trips. I initially chose it for its high cost-performance ratio. Compared to my friend’s Honda CR-V, the Qashqai’s power delivery is smoother, though its overall tuning leans toward comfort, making it ideal for family outings. Regular oil changes during maintenance help maintain stable performance. In cold weather, throttle response can be slightly slower, but running the AC in summer has minimal impact. Overall, this horsepower design strikes a balance between practicality and economy.
