A simple - and slow - truth defines the crossover world: these platforms were never intended for speed. Instead their value is linked to comfort, with sprawling cabins and high rooflines adapting to every passenger need. Theyâ€™re big, bulky, and happy to languish on the road.

Nissan thinks itâ€™s time to change this - which is why itâ€™s transformed the 2019 Qashqai into a quicksilver performer.

According to Motor One, the new Qashqai defies all conventions - reigning as the fastest SUV in the world. Boasting a supercharged DCI inline-four engine, this platform sails down the road, delivering a staggering 2,000 HP. Its sport-tuned suspension pairs with Intelligent AWD to ensure peerless handling, with an electronic throttle transferring torque between the wheels to accommodating changing terrains; while the six-speed manual transmission enables drivers to control every motion through a crisp mid-range gear set.

The result is an SUV that can dominate every circuit - with the 2019 Qashqai yielding a top-speed ratio of 237.8 MPH! This crushes the competition, with Motor One noting that the last champion (the Agera RS) managed only 221.3 MPH.

How did Nissan achieve such an impressive number? It partnered with UK aftermarket specialist, Severn Valley Motorsport, to enhance the Qashqaiâ€™s DCI powerpoint. The result was a custom-tuned engine that could yield more than 1,000 lb.-ft of torque.

Impressed? We are!
