The Nissan Qashqai e-Power has achieved a significant milestone, entering the Guinness Book of Records following the successful demonstration of its advanced e-Power system. This technology integrates a gasoline engine primarily for battery charging, while the vehicle’s propulsion is managed entirely by one or more electric motors. The upgraded Qashqai successfully traveled a distance of 1,980 kilometers utilizing only a single fuel tank.
This performance established a new record for the longest range achieved by a range extender SUV without the need for external charging infrastructure or supplementary fuel supplies. The record-setting journey took place in Colombia between April 14 and April 17, 2026. The vehicle traversed the route from Bogotá to the Caribbean coast, navigating a variety of operational and driving conditions.
The efficiency of the power management system was central to this achievement, demonstrating the capability of the hybrid architecture to sustain extended operation. The e-Power system fundamentally alters traditional gasoline vehicle operation by optimizing energy use. By dedicating the internal combustion engine’s role to replenishing the electric battery, the system maximizes the use of electric motor power for movement.
This performance validates the Nissan model’s capability in covering substantial distances while maintaining a high level of operational efficiency across diverse terrains.
