The new Nissan Qashqai range, which includes a 99g/km of CO2 model, will go on sale next month with prices starting from £19,295.

The SUV will be available with the same range of engines as its predecessor, offering the choice of petrol or diesel, six-speed manual or CVT XTronic automatic transmissions, and two or four-wheel drive.

The most efficient engine is a 110PS 1.5dCi diesel engine, which has CO2 emissions from 99g/km and official combined fuel economy from 74.3mpg.

A new range-topping Tekna+ equipment grade has been added, and this sits above Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta and Tekna.

Every new Qashqai comes with six airbags as standard, plus driver assistance systems including anti-lock brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution and stability control.

Other standard equipment includes manual air-conditioning, tyre pressure monitoring system, DAB digital radio (in most markets), Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control with speed limiter, and electrically adjustable heated door mirrors.

Depending on the grade chosen, available features include dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights and wipers, folding door mirrors and privacy glass.

Many of the higher-grade features are available as optional extras on lower grades.

Additional options include the full-length panoramic glass roof with one-touch shade, exterior styling plates and side styling bars.
