Doesn"t seem five minutes since we had a new Nissan Qashqai, does it? Even the kickstarter of the whole crossover trend tends to melt into the background of tall hatches these days. So, Nissan"s freshened it up, adding angrier lights with look-round-corners ability, a bluffer v-motion" grille and two new colours. A shade of brown ambitiously titled Caspian Bronze", and this Vivid Blue".No, none of that is a very big deal. However, if your nerdy streak does pick out one of these new Qashcows in traffic, keep a close eye, because chances are it"s driving itself.Yup, Nissan"s plumbed ProPilot" into its crossover, which is a tedious name for self-driving tech that looks after steering, acceleration and braking in single-lane traffic. It"s intended for easing frustration on traffic choked motorways or aiding high-speed cruising, much like Audi"s traffic jam assist, and Nissan confidently says the upgrade "continues Nissan"s ongoing journey towards zero emissions and zero fatalities."
