Used Nissan cars for sale near Newcastle Upon Tyne

Good looks and good value for family use only

As one of the earliest general public owners of an E Power I have a good insight into the car over the last 12000 miles of driving one. It is a good no, it’s a great car and is a joy to drive. It’s smooth. You don’t feel any gear changes just like an EV. The equipment is right up there with a lot of premium badged cars. The Connecta with 12’ screen and glass roof is probably the best option without going silly. It’s definitely wins the best of its class and price band. You should also return a healthy mpg. I highly recommend buying it provided it’s in Nissan warranty. That’s the good stuff. Now what you should be aware of is it’s big issue which may affect your E Power. There are many owners who have suffered with a generator fault. It’s called E Power system fault which is the message owners are met with on their dashboard. I’ve had it twice but to date it’s not returned after being sent back to Nissan for repair. Others not so lucky have in some cases not even made it home from the showroom pickup day and the car has stopped and refused to restart. There are a number of growing groups of owners on social media out there of which one has thousands of members trying to get Nissan to deal with it. Nissan have to date not issued a public recall and are keeping very quiet about it. Some owners have thrown the car back to their dealers. and demanded their money back. This may not be limited to the Qashqai but possibly other E Power cars from 2022. You will shortly see a glut of Qashqai E Power cars on the used car market as owners including me will be offloading their cars well before the Nissan warranty expires in 2025. Currently there are many owners waiting for a slot with Nissan to replace the generators and are right now driving a courtesy car for weeks and months while Nissan play catch-up . Obviously it’s not every car but Nissan are now experiencing issues chasing the factory for replacement generators. There’s an internal Nissan bulletin floating around on social media groups. It lists the affected chassis numbers. Check out Nissan Qashqai E power system fault group on social media. It’s a shame car reviews by professionals only focus on a vehicle’s selling features these days and whether Mrs Jones can fit all her kids in it,. Buyer beware!

Lovely car, like the heated seats, very spacious car. Good family car

Car is loaded with extras and is a very comfortable ride. I would recommend one.

The car is great value. The only things does not have is boot hands free close. Also front and back dash board cameras
