Various road testers have really criticised the "lag" feature.
For example: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ni ... -uk-review
Despite the added benefits of torque-fill from the small electric motor, the Qashqai feels sluggish at very low revs. Above 2000rpm, there’s a decent welt of muscle, so the car feels brisk, with decent sixth-gear roll-on acceleration on the motorway. You can extend the engine, but it feels a little breathless; and in truth, it does its best work in the mid-ranges.
We sampled both the improved X-tronic CVT and the six-speed manual gearbox. The former masks the engine’s off-boost torpor but suffers from an irritating surge in acceleration at more than quarter throttle that’s disproportionate with your inputs, plus it doesn’t feel well integrated with the start-stop system, sending a judder through the driveline as each time the engine cuts in and out. Overall, the manual is a better bet, even with its notchy action and spongy clutch feel.

The Skoda Karoq when it first came out what known for not driving quite right. This required an ECU update again that was when it first came out. So could be ECU needs a update.EJT19 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:33 am Hi,
I have the manual and I’ve found it only sluggish in eco when pulling away but when you put it in to sport mode, it picks up quickly which I was relatively surprised about.
I’ve also noticed fuel economy isn’t great either, it’s had £80 in it over 1 week and I’ve barely been anywhere I can’t remember if my other new car was like this as it was back in 2013 when I got one but I am hoping once it’s bedded in, this will improve. Or is that a myth? Haha

How is the fueling sbrace? Any updates?
I'm hoping an ecu update will be implemented for this problem if enough people complain about it to nissan.
Its odd only 2 of us have noticed this. Has enyone else took a demo car out for a test drive before ordering and noticed this?
My demo was an xtronic, I thought it might have been a gearbox trait, obviously not with yours being a manual.
Edit. Is your the 158 bhp?
