Launched in early 2025, the facelifted version of the third-generation Qashqai brought a fresh nose, clear tail-lights, revised wheels and a more up-spec interior.
The latter is evident in the Ti, which assumes the role of ‘affordable luxury’ in the range.
Along with a decent wad of driver-assist and passive safety tech, including Nissan’s ProPilot lane-keeping system, the Ti introduces a larger, fully electronic instrumentation cluster, ambient lighting, heated front seats, powered driver’s seat with memory, a heated steering wheel, synthetic leather upholstery, privacy glass, roof rails, 19-inch alloys and more.
These are on top of the sat-nav, front parking sensors, 360-degree camera views, dual-zone climate control, walk-to/away central locking, adaptive cruise control, 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and phone charger found in grades below it.
Cargo capacity in the Ti slips a little, to 479L (five-seats up) and 1422L (rear backrest down), even though it continues with a 17-inch temporary spare.
As with the ST and ST-L, the Ti uses a 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, offering 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque, and employs a CVT to drive the front wheels.
Strangely, considering that it weighs more, the Ti uses slightly less petrol than the cheaper models, averaging 5.8L/100km and 134g/km of CO2 emissions.
Note that the old Ti e-Power hybrid was dropped with the MY25 facelift.
If the regular five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty seems insufficient, you can opt for a conditional and transferable 10 years/300,000km scheme, as well as 10 years of roadside assistance. But only if you choose to always service the Qashqai at a Nissan dealer.
