2025 Nissan Qashqai Gets Ariya-Look Face And Google Infotainment But Still Doesn’t Have A PHEV Option

Nissan’s Qashqai was one of pioneers of the modern crossover boom and its third-generation SUV has just been given a style and tech makeover to help it stay relevant, and to cement the family connection to the Ariya EV.

The most obvious change is to the front end, which loses the v-shaped chrome grille and weird tuning-fork-shaped headlight and DRL combination. In its place comes a bigger and better looking mesh grille inspired by the chainmail armor worn by ancient Japanese soldiers, hidden headlights and ultra-slim DRL.

The all-electrified engine lineup continues as before, and consists of mild-hybrid and full hybrid powertrains, but there’s no PHEV or EV. What the refreshed Qashqai does bring to the table is an updated Android-based infotainment system with built-in Google maps and Google personal assistant.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
