October 17, 2016 by Nissan
◾CO2 and VED improvements on Qashqai 18' alloys thanks to low resistance tyres
◾Up to £130 OTR savings and 1% BIK improvements on selected models
London, UK, 17th October 2016: Nissan is pleased to announce that Qashqai models specified with 18' alloy wheels will now benefit from factory-fitted low resistance tyres delivering improved efficiency and reduced cost of ownership across the range.
The special tyre design means CO2 and fuel consumption figures now match those of the 17' alloy wheel size, saving £130 in VED payments on some models with lower BIK across the line-up.
The update presents an enhanced offer for fleet and business users with all Qashqais equipped with 18' alloys gaining a 1% BIK improvement. On selected models this means BIK is as low as 19%, with combined fuel economy of up to 74.3mpg.
The improved efficiency of the tyres means dCi 110 engines on Acenta with Premium Pack, N-Connecta and N-Vision grades now deliver CO2 emissions of just 99g/km. DiG-T 115 and dCi 130 4WD versions now emit 129g/km, which means they're exempt from VED in the first year, saving customers £130.
