The Qashqai’s e-POWER system consists of a high-output battery that is complemented by a variable compression ratio 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo-charged petrol engine generating 116kW, a power generator, inverter and 140kW electric motor of similar size and power output as found in Nissan's LEAF electric vehicle. The petrol engine generates electricity, which can be transmitted via the inverter to the battery pack, the electric motor or both, according to the driving scenario. What sets this powertrain apart is that the electric motor delivers power directly to the wheels, so its response is instant and linear. The new Qashqai's e-POWER system was conceived to deliver a pleasurable, effortless and smooth driving experience, without the need to recharge.At the heart of Nissan's QASHQAI e-POWER system is a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo-charged variable compression 116kW petrol engine.First used by Nissan's premium brand Infiniti, the engine's variable compression capability is a unique feature in an internal combustion engine and allows it to adjust compression ratio to balance performance and economy, depending on the engine load. Ahead of its first introduction in 2018 with Infiniti, it was listed as being among the world's 10 best engines by Ward's, a US-based automotive consultancy.
Ford is expanding its Ranger lineup with the off-road-focused Wildtrak X, arriving in Australian showrooms in the second half of the year as a go-anywhere special edition.With a recommended Manufacturer List Price (MLP) of $75,990, Ranger Wildtrak X bridges the gap between the high-performance Ranger Raptor and the recreation-orientated Wildtrak and is designed for customers who want greater off-road capability and smart features that support their passion for adventure without compromising the Ranger’s impressive 3500kg towing capacity.Elevating the Wildtrak X’s on- and off-road ability are core wheel and suspension improvements. The Ranger Wildtrak X’s Bilstein Position-Sensitive Dampers not only allows drivers to go further off the beaten track, but also improves on-road cornering manners. This is thanks to End Stop Control Valve (ESCV) technology within the Bilstein dampers. The position-sensitive dampers allow for better fine-tuning and calibration so that the Wildtrak X’s on-road comfort matches its off-road performance. With a monotube design and nitrogen-charged external reservoir, the Bilstein dampers have an increased tuning bandwidth that allow for dual driving characteristics. The Wildtrak X will be the first Ranger 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel variant to feature the advanced Full-time 4WD system instead of the part-time ‘shift on the fly’ 4x4 system.
