What's the difference between these Qashqais?

What's the difference between a Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi XE and 1.5 dCi XE E6?

Hi Mick,

We contacted Nissan Ireland for an answer to this query, and here's what was said:

"E6 stands for Euro 6 - ie that the car meets Euro 6 regulations. The regulation change from Euro 5 to Euro 6 came about last June - so there are still some Euro 5 cars in circulation. All Euro 5 cars need to be registered by the end of this year. There is no difference between a Euro 5/Euro 6 car in terms of specification. An E5 XE and E6 XE Qashqai are the same car in terms of specification - the difference lies in the level of regulation it adheres to."
