How to use the ECO mode in the new Qashqai?
1 Answers
The ECO mode in the new Qashqai can be activated simply by pressing the ECO button. This mode is particularly suitable for high-speed cruising on highways. The vehicle offers three driving modes: Comfort Mode, ECO Mode, and Sport Mode. Each mode alters the engine's operation and the transmission's shift logic differently. In ECO Mode, the throttle response is slower, the transmission shifts up more aggressively, and the engine runs at lower RPMs. In Sport Mode, the engine operates at higher RPMs, the transmission delays shifting, and the throttle becomes more responsive. When in Sport Mode, the transmission only upshifts once the engine reaches the redline, allowing the engine to deliver its maximum horsepower. The new Qashqai measures 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1593mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646mm. It is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.
