Automobile Giant Nissan has killed two birds with one stone by replacing its two current petrol engines with a more frugal yet more powerful 1.3-litre unit

Evolution rather than revolution. It’s a phrase you’ve probably heard countless times regarding products that have been improved incrementally over time rather than completely overhauled; think Coca Cola or the Apple iPhone.

Although the Nissan Qashqai might not spring to mind, perhaps it should. Despite having been on sale since 2014 – an eternity in the family SUV class – the second-generation Qashqai still remains one of the best-selling cars in the UK. In fact, more than 64,000 were sold in 2017 alone, with Nissan generating this success by, you guessed it, evolution.

First came a facelift in 2017, which was quickly followed by the addition of semi-autonomous driving technology in early 2018 and now the introduction of an all-new 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine.

It will take the place of the old 1.2 and 1.6-litre petrol engines and will be offered in two states of tune, with a 138bhp version taking the place of the former and a 158bhp unit replacing the latter. Both engines get a six-speed manual gearbox as standard and send their drive to the front wheels.
