2020 Nissan Qashqai Ti: Now with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto! Detailed expert review | 4K

[@CarExpertAus]

Kicking off from AUD$27,990 (US$17,800), the Qashqai ST comes with a six-speed manual transmission, with an automatic gearbox a $2000 proposition thereafter. The range runs all the way through to the car we’re testing here, the top-specification Qashqai Ti, which is priced at $38,490 (US$25,000) and comes exclusively with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

[@ryankong8225]

I love my 2019 Qashqai!!!! The suspension is excellent, I have 19 inch rims, with low profile Pro-Pilot Michelin tyres and the engine is very powerful and responsive. My model is 4 wheel drive and tuned at 136 dhp. Mine did not come with the touch screen infortainment system, but I upgraded it to 10 inch touch screen and with the Bose speakers it has excellent sound. I also installed an automatic trunk lift. Highly recommended SUV!!!

[@redeemerboame8779]

How did you do it I want same for mine

[@VincentTurner]

Great reviews Paul, informative, great pacing, funny without being ridiculous. Keep up the great work!

[@MuertTV]

Wikipedia: Qashqai is a conglomeration of clans in Iran consisting of mostly Turkic peoples but also Lurs 😉 2.0 L - 106 kW: The russian version has this specs. Also in Australia? EU/UO: 1.3 l - 103 kW (140 PS) or 1.3 l - 118 kW (160 PS)

I totally LOLd when you waved from the sun roof out of nowhere 🤣

The removable floor panels in the boot are for storing the parcel shelve underneath when you drop the passenger seats. 👍

Great review Paul! Bought one couple of weeks back! Helped a lot t! Could have added self parking demo in!

[@CarExpertAus]

Enjoy the new wheels!

[@michaelgoh5830]

Good review Paul. Exterior and interior look appealing but I think a 1.6T engine would be ideal. Also, it’s disappointing to note most mainstream small and medium SUVs sold in Australia do not have rear air vents.

[@CarExpertAus]

The 1.6-litre turbocharged engine would be sensational in this car. It would make up for the slight shortfall in torque - with a softer suspension tune it'd be hard to beat in this segment. Also agree - air vents are so simple!

[@michaelgoh5830]

CarExpert This SUV is well spec for its asking price, the interior with all the techs looks awesome. Maybe 18 inch wheels would soften the ride a little.

[@space1nvaders185]

Bought this car 3 months ago. Agree the suspension/steering is a little basic. Profile wheels add to cabin noise but depends on road quality. Creeped to 120km easily on a 5hr trip to Cape Reinga, NZ. Excellent driver assist tech. Navigation awesome. Blue 🦷 a bit clumsy. I ❤️my car.

Hi Paul, Just wanted to say thank you for this review, helped us a lot making the decision... Bought our own Qashqai about a month ago (midnight edition)... Got a really good deal because its the run out model, I guess but... Really good couldn’t be happier. You have gained a new subscriber for sure.

[@mrz1281]

when do you get your hands on the new one paul ?

Since qashqai has a park assist, does it also have the option to take the car out of the parking space?

Well done Paul another great job thanks

Hey Paul, a car that is 10k cheaper in that similar size of class for the car is the MG ZS Essence, that has a panoramic Sunroof. Overall great review 👍🏼

[@CarExpertAus]

That's true! We're looking forward to getting one through the garage for a video review :-D

MG Essence is much bigger, I have a NTech 2018 Qashqai, exact same as this 2020 model, no real changes, and my wife has 2020 Essence and the size inside is night and day difference, way more roomier and fancier for almost same price in NZ.

[@icyfire207]

Great Review Paul. Somehow remind me AU version of Mat Watson 😆

[@adammilward2820]

Do you check the Tyre pressure when you collect these vehicles? After the Mazda 2 video you said it was still too firm. I know every time I get my car back from the dealer I have to let some air out, they always pump them up way too much.

[@CarExpertAus]

Great point, Adam! Yes, a tyre pressure tool is in my kit of things. We normally run these cars at the recommended pressures. Any less or higher could cause accelerated tyre degredation.

[@adammilward2820]

CarExpert with my VW polo for years I take it in to vw they set the tyres at the 40psi mark (I re check cold next day) and the ride is too noisy and rough. The manufacturer recommended is 32 front 29 rear normal operation and the car feels like new again comfortable and quiet at 6.5 years old.

[@woowoow00]

Can 2019 Qashqais be upgraded to have Apple carplay/Android auto?

[@CarExpertAus]

I don't think so, John. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware upgrade and not just a software upgrade. Toyota and Mazda appear to be the only auto makers that are doing upgrades for customers.

[@woowoow00]

Thanks Paul! Keep making awesome videos!

[@CarExpertAus]

Thanks, John. Will do!

Good review but when driving maybe cam set back corner of you and we can see road, steering wheel, dials, consol, infotaiment, all driving experince like pov driving.

[@headcountone]

The Mitsubishi ASX VRX and the Eclipse Cross have a panoramic roof as well. ASX is a lot cheaper than the TI, but no self-parking

[@riversonthemoon]

Seems like a good value proposition. Dollaridoos? You’re going to mislead international viewers into thinking that The Simpsons depicted Australia accurately. Anyway, I’m off to play a game of knifey-spoony.

[@CarExpertAus]

Ha ha ha, love this comment!

[@saketganeriwala]

Thanks for the great review Paul. Was hoping you would also comment on one of the car's uncommon features - its Drive Assist Display. Is the turn by turn navigation display good and of use, and would it work only with the inbuilt nav, or if I am using Google Maps through my phone for example?

[@stephenhillard7912]

Scotty Killmer in Texus hates the Jatco cvt transmission due to reliability issues and he is not alone . Until the nissan owned Jatco company gets its act together I wouldnt risk buying this vehicle long term .

[@CarExpertAus]

They had issues with CVTs earlier on (Pathfinder and X-Trail), but I'm pretty sure all of those problems have now been resolved.

[@rotoehu9266]

@Stephen Hillard: Scotty does tend to base his opinions on 5-10 year old vehicles (look at his recent backflips on Mazda & Kia). So he’s not wrong, but don’t think there are anywhere as many issues with Jatco CVT’s these days

[@madhardcorenick]

I would just opt for the manual. Problem solve.

[@meownmazda1]

Does it have a spare wheel?

[@CarExpertAus]

This one uses a space saver spare wheel :-)

[@meownmazda1]

Needs a petrol turbo engine option with AWD

[@CarExpertAus]

That'd be nice, @Alan Foxx. A turbocharged engine would give the pep that it's ever so slightly missing.

[@kpkaus]

What I don't understand is, why on a earth car makers make so many models of similar cars? For example Nissan Qashqai, Dualis, X-Trail, Honda HR-V, CR-V. If that's not confusing enough, they also make multiple badges, for example Qashqai ST, ST-L, ST+, Ti. Why???

[@ryantran6386]

Great review Paul. Can you review Kadjar & compare them?

[@ggrit1120]

hello CarExpert. i don't see the button CarPlay on my screen in de QQ. so is this a software thing?

Make sure you track a newer model down with the updated features 😁 the older ones look the same but have less functionality.

[@SamGiles]

Great review, Paul. Whilst I can't say I'm particularly riveted about the Qashqai, there's still plenty to like about it - handsome exterior (great colour), well equipped, and the clever 'where am I' feature. Despite the positives, I'd rather have my name on the RAV4 waiting list (or spend a bit more on a Tiguan).

[@CarExpertAus]

Yep, the RAV4 would be a better purchase, just a bit more expensive :-)

How about some reviews on Kia cars and infotainment systems??

They’re coming! Sorry about the delay.

[@rotoehu9266]

Think when this gen was released in 2015, the ride was tuned for 16-18” wheels. 19” obviously a step too far and ruins the ride. Assume the new gen will have to be be tuned for 18-20” as customers insist on ever bigger wheels...

[@CarExpertAus]

It does feel like it - I hope they fix the ride a bit because the rest of the car is pretty good.

[@1daful]

At first glance, this top of the line 2020 Nissan Qashqai looks almost exactly like my top of the line 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport SL, but there are distinct differences, maybe too many to list in this comment. Wow.

[@pummyy]

Great review, pretty complete. I agree why do you need a 19 inch on a small SUV. Kind of pointless.It looks great though compared to ASX. Feels better amd looks better than Xtrail albeit boot space.

Hi. Thanks for your perfect review. I think Qashqai is a Persian word and it's related to a custom. you should check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qashqai_people. Qashqai is a common word in Persian and has a beautiful meaning. It is like that, in Persian we pronounce your name: "Pool" or "Poul". I would like to say, "Nissan" and "Mazda" are both Persian word with greate meanings.

[@rezagholami7725]

Qashgai is name of one the Persian tribe they are moving around country in different seasons

[@winty2721]

Never buy a Nissan Qashqai timing chain issues and after that new engines are needed. Appalling air conditioning new condenser needed every two years. Parking sensors fill with water when it rains and it thinks your parking when you drive Nissans answer was to drill holes in the bumper to stop the water ingress. Watch out for the warning signs oil consumption that’s the start of your Nissan journey enjoy 😉 PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. Sorry Nissan but you need to honour the people who bought the faulty cars you produced with Renault building the engines and fitting the piston rings incorrectly. If at least one person reads this and it stops them buying one I am a happy man.

[@CarExpertAus]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@winty2721]

Update my car has been in the dealership for 4 months. I have all the paperwork service and diagnostic reports etc etc to support my car engine was faulty before the point of purchase. The dealership, Nissan customer care & Nissan finance agree that the engine was indeed faulty before I bought the car. At the moment the dealership have to perform certain diagnostics on the engine to find out where the noise is coming from as the warranty company need this before they will sign off a new one. If you type 2014 Nissan Qashqai engine fault in a search engine take a look at the results I have no words. I payed for an extended service plan after the complimentary ones ran out. In this service plan it says that I get a courtesy car while the car is being serviced I have had no car for 4 months. The only thing stopping me from going directly to a solicitor is the lady at Nissan customer care she is an absolute credit to them. I honestly believe she is trying to help. So much red tape to get them to finally admit this known fault £19500 for a car that needs a new engine 3 years into a 4 year + finance package. I WILL not give up this fight. If you read this please like this post to help my plight. I have heard there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Watch this space fingers crossed 🤞
