Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual

2.9.2. When driving

  • Drive your vehicle with smooth start and acceleration.

    • Abrupt starting and acceleration will consume more electric power and decrease fuel economy.

    • You can accelerate the vehicle with less power consumption by checking the condition of the electric power consumption in the power meter.

  • Keep a distance from the vehicle in front of you. Do not decelerate the vehicle more than necessary so that you can decrease the electric power consumption required to accelerate again.

  • Do not drive at excessive speeds on a highway. Driving at excessive speeds consumes electric power more than necessary.

  • Set the air conditioner at a moderate temperature and turn it off if unnecessary. Redundant power consumption can be reduced by the air conditioner.

  • Do not use the defogger more than necessary. After removing fog from the windscreen, switching to the other air flow mode reduces the engine operation frequency and improve the fuel economy.

  • Drive the vehicle in [ECO] mode for efficient use. Then the driving force response to accelerator operation is gentler than in [STANDARD] / [SPORT] mode; it suppresses unnecessary acceleration / deceleration and realizes energy saving.

  • The fuel efficiency improves in the following order: [SPORT] mode → [STANDARD] mode → [ECO] mode. [ECO] mode is the most fuel-efficient mode. (See

    .)
  • When the [ECO] Mode Customize (Air Conditioning) is turned ON (fuel efficiency- oriented), the fuel efficiency is improved by reducing the performance of the air conditioner.

The following are some conditions in which the fuel economy decreases significantly:

  • When driving on a route where there are many uphill roads.

  • When continuing driving at a high speed on a highway.

  • When starting, accelerating or braking abruptly.
