All-New Nissan LEAF and Qashqai e-POWER win big at The Motor Awards 2025.
Nissan has won a prestigious double honours at The Motor Awards 2025, organised by News UK: the just-launched All-New Nissan LEAF has been named The Sun’s overall Car of the Year; while Qashqai with New e-POWER has been recognised as Hybrid Car of the Year for a second consecutive year - and both are engineered and manufactured in the UK, before being exported around the world.
James Taylor, Managing Director, Nissan GB commented; “We’re absolutely thrilled the All-New Nissan LEAF has been recognised as The Sun’s Car of the Year. As the brand’s newest 100% electric model and most aerodynamic production car to date, it showcases the latest Nissan Technology and engineering know-how and, of course, follows in the footsteps of the groundbreaking original LEAF, the world’s first mainstream electric car.
“We’re also tremendously proud that Qashqai with New e-POWER has been named Hybrid Car of the Year for a second consecutive year. It’s recently been updated with an all-new, third-generation e-POWER system and delivers the best of all worlds; the responsive refinement of an EV, the convenience of petrol and the range of a diesel car. Even better, both Qashqai and the LEAF represent the best of British: engineered and built right here in the UK.”
The updated, award-winning Qashqai with New e-POWER is available now from Nissan Hanley and Nissan Crewe, while the All-New LEAF will be available to order very soon, before arriving in showrooms in February 2026.
