Nissan is extending its ProPilot driver assistance system further across the range of its best-selling Qashqai crossover.
ProPilot is a semi-autonomous driver feature that helps to keep the car centred in its lane, while also featuring adaptive cruise control that can bring the car to a complete stop in traffic and start the car again without any driver involvement needed.
The tech was first introduced in the UK on the all-electric Leaf at the start of 2018, featuring on a limited-edition model and the range-topping Tekna versions.
But now all automatic transmission versions of the best-selling Qashqai can be had with ProPilot, with manual versions still offered with the Driver Assist Pack, which essentially does a similar job, just without the same levels of stop and go capability. Both pieces of tech are a £595 option.
Kalyana Sivagnanam, managing director, Nissan Motor GB. Said: “The Nissan Qashqai has always been a leader in terms of innovative design and technologies that enhance the ownership experience. Our advanced ProPilot drive assistance adds a greater level of confidence, control and enjoyment to the UK’s best-selling crossover.”
Qashqais fitted with ProPilot start from £28,040, or £25,490 with the Drive Assist Pack.

The Japanese firm added that the X-Trail SUV (larger than the Qashqai) will be available with the technology later in the year.
