Best selling SUV just got better? 2024 Nissan Qashqai review 4K UK

Although classed as a new generation; the platform, size and practicality remain the same for the Nissan Qashqai. Changes include a new design, interior and updated tech.... Is that enough for the Qashqai to hold onto its title of the best selling C-segment car?

I still have an older model and would consider updating to this latest version. Thank god they’ve kept the physical dashboard controls. The updates have keep the Qashqui looking modern and appealing. The blue colour looks fabulous in the sunshine. I just need to buy a lottery ticket and win enough to buy the top spec model with the “grandpa” leather !!! Great review Tish.

[@twinjuke]

The best thing could happen to hybrid cars is e-Power, IMO. I also love the physical buttons and the fair enough interior quality for the price. After e-Power I can never imagine to buy a regular hybrid car, but e-Power or full electric ones only. I've been on a driving camp (driving training for special, unexpected situations), and all I can say, Qashqai's safety system and the "driving feel" during difficult situations were extremely calming and just right. In everyday life though, the safety system is a bit too paranoid, it gives me heart stopping occasionally with false alarms, so that needs some calibrations IMO. All these experiences with a J12 Tekna. Oh, I almost forgot: the HUD is the best thing if safety is important for you, it showed its real value during the driving camp: I could stare at speed and the road the same time without constantly looking down. Helped a lot, I loved it.

[@Naveed4Speed]

Awesome video Tish!

[@laurentiutrifan8173]

I like the concept of their strong hybrid ... because it opens an interesting road for further developments of the hybrid mode ... even as up-grades of a car already in use. 👍

[@mikejba]

Another top review Tish, great work

[@AutoSocialUK]

Thanks a ton

[@ellisrochlin2267]

its the 1.5 thats worth a look , heres the thing, i keep a car for 4 to 6 years , but the warranty on the e power fandango batteries only a 3 yr warranty , so i walked (doesnt matter the old or tweaked one ) , shame nissan didnt consider a 5 or 6 yr warranty on their e battery set up.

[@wayneheyes4934]

Really like the colour and facelift

[@turbot4520]

Great review Tish. Has the steering changed any? We love our qashqai but feel the steering is slightly heavy.

I enjoyed watching the Video. Red Is my favourite Qashqai Paint Colour 😊

Good choice

[@paulcarter4115]

Yes looks like a really nice car now, better than ever.👍

[@Willo1991]

Great review as always Tish. For me personally the Google system would put me off. I had nothing but issues with it in a xc40. I actually ended up changing it for a sportage hev which has been phenomenal. The system in that is great too, especially maps

[@joshwalton1977]

Android Automotive is just like Android phones in the way that the actual hardware running it and what the manufacturer has added to it can make your experience completely different. I wouldn’t compare them tbh as it’s likely bad Volvo software rather than anything wrong with Android Automotive itself

[@craigivemy]

Great review. What safety features automatically activate (assuming you don't use the custom mode) when the car is fired up? Currently our Audi A3 always starts with the physical lane departure warning where it literally stiffens the steering wheel rather than just sounding an alert, and honestly it's just dangerous - it gets confused way too often. To turn it off each time means several clicks through menus and I hate it! Also - am I right in thinking there's a button on the door handles that can be pressed rather than having to use the button on the key? Last question(!) - the driver assist custom option, is this available and activated from the shortcuts menu accessed via the steering wheel on all trims? We have ordered the N-Connecta.

[@sunilfrancy]

Please review the KIA Sportage HEV model. Thank you!

[@martynlaverick3405]

Very much enjoying your vids. I like the shape of this car and saw one on the road recently and it looked fantastic. The e power is an interesting development and would be keen to understand what BIK category this falls into.

[@joshwalton1977]

There are no BIK benefits as it is not a plug in hybrid. Attracts 28% BIK which on a N-Connecta ePower is around £170/month

[@log874]

I do really like the look of the new Qashqai, even in the lower specs, but I'm not sure why! Its very unassuming. That said, I'd be loathed to choose one over our Hyundai Tuscon which is such a solid and practical car and has a far better reliability rating.

[@natetonbong]

Omg i watched your last qashqai tekna plus review and bought my first qashqai on the strength of it Definitely want to get this one Thanks once again for the best car reviews ever tish x

[@chris-townson]

Great review, Tish. I think the updated version looks really good! One question I have is what's the suspension like? I'm hoping it's not as firm as the Juke.

[@jonoredstar]

Softer than juke more family focused suspension, the juke is sporty and suits it's settings great on the corners

[@sunnygill2671]

Nice review tish hope your enjoying the lovely weather there The new model looks good more stylish and better looking inside and out does it still have a Renault engine? X

[@joshwalton1977]

Engines haven’t changed at all since the pre-facelift

[@juanchistrd]

This is tekna version?

[@harshitsingh6253]

Heyy Tishhh... do review the new gen Toyota Camry

[@paulaherne9449]

Is this car coming to australia

[@maartenk7513]

Looks good. No money for a new one. Will buy me a 2 year old N-Style soon. A lot of car for a good price.

[@g-forcepcrepair4347]

Good video, question would be able to test the full hybrid to see how much miles pre gallon it gets in the real world?

[@joshwalton1977]

I was getting about 40mpg in the X-Trail ePower so around 40-45mpg I’d say

[@AF-eq4hf]

I have the previous Epower Tekna, 2022 model, just finished an 800 mile trip, half of which was motorway driving at 70mph, fuel usage was 58MPG. The car is really good, I'm thinking of changing to the new model soon

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I personally prefer the pre-facelift styling of the Kaškaj.

[@1966Manjit]

100% agree..the chrome and headlights worked much better...

[@ianwindley70]

Tish looking absolutely breathtaking as always❤

[@edwardott7239]

I got the opportunity to look at the North American version of this (called the Rogue) at the Syracuse Auto Show and was quite impressed with it - especially the roughly $30K (U.S.) price point. It is definitely on my list of contenders for new vehicles to replace my current 2013 Honda CR-V. And Tish, love the outfit you wore for this review. 😉(nice legs, sweetie!) 😘❤

[@joshwalton1977]

Unbelievably creepy comment

[@nicholasjones9705]

Three words to describe this car - cool, wicked and awesome!

[@P.J.B.769]

I just dont get the point on having a turboed engine just to charge the batteries. Why not just put a drive shaft in it and be done with it. That new ocean colour is stunning by the way though probably scary expensive if you need a repair on a scratch etc. If its a flip style paint. Great review Tish, keep them coming.

[@joshwalton1977]

Lot smoother drive done this way

[@maartenk7513]

Maximum torque from standing still. No clutch. More simple. Only electric motors on the wheels.

[@blackghost769]

❤❤❤

[@Clarkkentuk6]

Take a look at the Nissan UK website: You only get the horrible brown (umbra leather) on the Tekna. You sure you didnt drive the Tekna model, not the Tekna Plus? I like the 19inch alloy wheels like the ones on your video, but you cannot choose 19 inch wheels and black interior trim. Tekna + has 20'' wheels and black interior trim.

[@allanmassie3887]

Is the engine made by Renault ?

"Quashqai"? (Title card, and description above)

As someone who suffers with dyslexia, I find the name ‘Qashqai’ a NIGHTMARE to get my head around.

I think you’re right, there was a little bit of confusion. The people we spoke to at Nissan didn’t seem to fully know which was which and because I can’t build one online yet I wasn’t sure.

[@davidmarshall5596]

[@Antiguan_Dart]

I fear some people will be drawn to this car as a range anxiety free introduction into EV driving. Other reports have shown the efficiency-mpg improvements made by the e-Power hybrid system is only marginal while having none of the realised benefits of a full electic drive train - so still subject to Road Tax, still subject to ULEZ restrictions and/or charges, still subject to congestion charge, misses out on lowest BIK as still has emissions. I think any range anxiety concern which might drive the choice for this drive train is flawed - in the UK we now have 32 300 public EV charging sites (compare that to 8 353 petrol stations), a well chosen EV can give over 300 miles range (Lands End to John O’Groats is 837 miles) and if one has home or work place charging the fuelling costs/service and maintenance costs/road use costs can total to being an order of magnitude cheaper than an ICE per year. If one has home charging I think this choice of drive train is a difficult argument to make. Additionally the tiny 2.1kWh battery means the generator is almost always on charging the battery or generating power for the electric motor-noise, vibration and revs detached from how fast or how much work the car might actually be doing. 3.5miles/kWh is a typically EV efficient. You can see a 2.1kWh battery would give 7 miles!! Of course there is the original price consideration of this compared to a similar sized battery electric vehicle. But that’s all changing with the introduction of new much cheaper EVs and massive discounts and/or purchase incentives on existing models to come as the UK ZEV mandate comes into effect this year/next year forcing manufacturers to attain a certain percentage of their vehicles sales being EV which steps up each year leading to 2035 when sale of new ICE ban comes into effect.

[@joshwalton1977]

That’s a lot of pro-EV waffle. A big selling point of this drivetrain is indeed the EV-like smoothness given the electric only drive. EVs do not and will likely never be ideal for everyone. For me personally I cannot charge at home, and cannot charge at work either due to company policy. I fuel up twice a week, public charging would be a complete hassle. When I swap my car next year this will likely be my choice as it is a really pleasant drive (I’ve driven the X-Trail with this drivetrain as a rental) and the whole EV issue is one I can look to solve years down the line only when I’m forced into one

[@JackKing12.]

Grandad spec. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@whocares264]

great for people that want the electric drive and want to keep pollution and high fuel consumption...

[@OzgunDoganbaloglu]

Why don't you explain that e-power is overly expensive and doesn't offer great efficiency.

[@trev0074]

Your a bundle of laughs 🙄

[@thomasgould9942]

It's only like 2k more. And offers slightly better efficiency but much better drive. Also gets rid of ugly shifter from mild hybrid

[@deefer305]

That brown fake leather 🤮

[@sharonec5419]

Still a cheap and dull car. If only Nissan had got rid of the front lights. There nearly got it right. The grill is way too big and the Nissan logo looks lost. But then its hardly something you want to brag about that you drive a Nissan. So maybe that is a good thing.
