Qashqai can now be ordered with ProPILOT
For the first time, Nissan’s ProPILOT driver assistance system is available to buyers of the Qashqai crossover.
The option – which costs £795 – is only being offered on the range-topping Tekna and Tekna+ trim grades, though. Another important caveat to note is that it has to be combined with a dCi 130 diesel engine and the Xtronic automatic transmission.
ProPILOT essentially uses a camera and a radar to automate acceleration, braking and steering when travelling within a single lane. Activated via a steering wheel button, the technology has been calibrated to work in stop-start traffic as well as at higher speeds. Indeed, the absence of a clutch pedal allows ProPILOT to bring the vehicle to a halt in heavy congestion without the risk of stalling.
To mark the introduction of ProPILOT, the Qashqai Pilot One Edition has been created. Based on the Tekna+, equipment includes extra exterior chrome, nappa leather upholstery and sports pedals. Unique door sill guards and a centre console badge are also fitted.
Tekna and Tekna+ customers who prefer a manual gearbox haven’t been entirely forgotten. For them, there’s the £495 Drive Assist Pack that comprises Intelligent Lane Intervention, Intelligent Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist.
