Nissan Qashqai e-Power engine revs don’t match speed

Featured Replies

One thing that confuses me about my Nissan Qashqai e-Power is how the engine revs don’t seem to match road speed at all. The engine can be loud even when driving slowly. I know it’s not directly driving the wheels, but it still feels odd. Is this normal behaviour on the Nissan Qashqai e-Power and something you just get used to over time?
Thank you

I know exactly what you mean - not Nissan related but Harley-Davidson instead.
Took a Pan America for a test drive and it was doing exactly what you describe....the revs didn't match the gears which didn't match the road speed.
It was so confusing to work out what was going on and I usually approximately know what gear I'm in and the road speed just from the engine revs and a quick glance at the gauges.
However, I was rolling along at around 30mph and the revs were up and down (albeit a manual gearbox) and gave no indication of what was actually going on - probably my single most negative, but strange sensation from any motorbike I've ever ridden.

CVT transmissions can also replicate this phenomena and have to agree it would more than likely be a case of getting used to it over time, just means you can't judge engine revs by ear but by constantly looking at the instruments to gauge what is actually going on. Good luck !
