DO NOT BUY a Nissan Dualis/Qashqai until you watch this | ReDriven used car review

Looking for a used Nissan Dualis? - carsforsale.com.au/nissan/dualis
Not really a hatchback but really an SUV, the Nissan Dualis (or Qashqai as it’s called outside of Australia) attempted to be many things to many people, however, this approach rarely results in success.
Sales success was near guaranteed for Nissan (with many in the company calling the Qashqai the Qash-cow), but now the budget-built crossover is getting on in age, and with many having travelled thousands of kilometres, should they be considered in the used car market at all?

At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

God this guy is depressing. Most of the stuff is literally generally wear and tear on a old car with high milage. He's talking about Apple Car play on a car using 2008 tech, he's basically comparing this car in his head to a 2022 car 🤣

We bought a 2013 built model brand new in Jan 2014. No problems and still drives well. Also bought is the rear spoiler which looks cute. Very happy with it.

[@henke4039]

Weird that you have so many complaints. I have owned two European spec Qashqais, a 2007 diesel 1.5 manual and I currently still drive a 2013 petrol automatic 1.6. I have had zero problems with either, everything is solid and in fantastic condition, I have never had any engine or other issues with it. Where are the Australian versions built ? I do agree that the CVT gearbox is not the most fun to drive but if you are a calm driver you should be ok.

Hi i have a Nissan qashqai J10 2013 1.6 DCI I bought it brand new and owned it and driven it 180000km with zero problems. Only normal wear and tear replacements and the seats and infotainment is perfect I bought new maps and updated myself. All service since after warrant done by me it is flawless. Honestly I feel these jokers got money to badmouth a car sold in 3 million produced and I have driven the newer ones also they are amazing. You cannot compare 10 year old car model with new releases. Really crap review please don’t listen to them. These are amazing cars with no problem also no timing belt but a timing chain so really low cost and maintenance what a bad biased review.

[@angelicapeady5332]

I loved my 2 dualis’s. Loved the top view reverse camera and how quiet the road noise was - couldn’t hear much from outside at all. It was a little sluggish uphill and in one of them the tail handle was starting to come off. Had them both for 4 yrs or so.

[@alfstewart22]

I have a 2013 1.6 dci qashqai +2 tekna. Besides routine servicing and some discs and pads and lower front arms I’ve had no problems. 160,000km, still on the original clutch. Non of the problems listed here. Been more reliable than the mercedes w204 that preceded it.

[@paullawrie]

I've had 4 of these bought new in 2010 and 2011 and the only common fault you mentioned was the bit coming off the back boot. I bought replacement bits to attach it for a few dollars online and repaired two of them after they were 9 years old. You say there are better options, but what?

Well done on your channel, mate. Really like the format and content. It's great to get in to the detail. It's also great when you make note of when the dealers/importers supported customers when the cars with issues had warranty issues.

[@johnnybro15155]

I have a 2011 J10 2 ltr petrol with cvt transmission. I bought it at 60 thousand km and now has 160 thousand km on the clock. It has been a great vehicle and economical to run. No issues with body panels or interior. I have replaced both rear shocks and cv boot seals. Also the clock spring needed replacing at 140 thou km as the airbag warning light stayed on and the fault was traced to the clock spring in the steering wheel . It gets a regular oil sevice every 10,000km. Uses no oil between changes. Its important to replace the cvt fluid as scheduled at 90,000km intervals. When I update vehicles I will get another one.

[@ovDarkness]

I have one. 2011 Qashqai 1.6. Only one real issue with it is that my wife crashed it two times already. Is it boring? Yes. Is 117BHP engine weak also yes. It's however quite non-problematic car with cheap parts (except for lamps, but that's normal) and quite cheap to maintain. We use it quite heavily (at least 30k km/year) since we got it 3 years ago, and we actually like it.

[@The9meister]

We have a 2009 Dualis 2wd 6 speed manual Ti model we have had from new, the only thing that has gone wrong with it, is the concentric slave cylinder for the clutch, the gearbox had to be removed to replace it, no problems since. I personally change oil, and filter every 5000kms.

[@shanemcguire3953]

The reason they called it a Dualis in Oz was with the Australian accent the original sounds like Cash Cow !

[@patcruising8925]

I find your videos too critical, they may scare people off of certain cars. Like how can the Subaru XV be so bad yet feature in your top 5 SUV's? The only major thing I can fault the dualis/qashqai on is the gutless 2ltr engine. Other than that, its a great family vehicle.

[@eyecontrol4900]

They only said the XV was bad with a CVT. It's still a more reliable and tougher car than the Qashqai.

[@loveday3447]

This presenter is a giant snub, this car at least the European variants are well built, safe and reliable. This is self evident by they fact that nissan has sold millions of j10 qashqai. The presenter perhaps expected a rolls Royce quality in a cheap family mini suv. Nissan used a genuine leather on the seats but he doesn't want to believe his eyes, His demeanour, language and vomit gesture is terrible

[@ReDriven]

Wow, I'm guessing you won't be starting my fan club anytime soon. We can't comment on the Euro versions as, well we're not in Europe, but as far as the versions we have here, there are countless reports and articles easily available to read online reporting all of the issues mentioned in the video. I should mention, we did hours and hours of research, read countless consumer satisfaction reports and reached out to various mechanics and Nissan technicians to gather the information for the video, and what you watched was the culmination of all that research, far from just my opinion. Nissan did sell millions of these things but a product being popular when new has zero correlation to its longevity and reliability after years of use and thousands of kilometres travelled. I didn't for a second expect a $10,000 Nissan to feel anything like a $1mil Rolls Royce. However, I hoped it would feel at least comparable to this cars competition from the likes of Toyota, Subaru, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda etc etc. If that is genuine leather, it's far from a good quality leather and feels more like genuine vinyl. As far as my demeanour, language and vomit gesture goes, you're entitled to your opinion but feel free to work your butt off for zero money to create something like what we've created with ReDriven, spend the hundreds of hours researching, writing, filming and editing the videos and then post them on KZbin so I can eloquently let you know what I think of you. - AK

Nah the local car journos and enthusiasts also hate these things, at least here in Finland. Quashqais are popular among people who don't like or understand cars and want a cheap and nasty crossover to get from point A to B.

[@timgardner4412]

My qashqai has only ever broke down once and the boost pipe cost £20 and I fixed it myself, the boot handle did fall off and a 3d printed one from amazon fixed it perfectly for £25, the main issue this car really has is the rust it gets on the chassis and the heat shield rots away, other than that mines been a tank, 1.5 dci that cruises solid at 115mpg

I have owned a 2010 Urban Black leather AWD for 3 years and I have had few issues. The door lock stopped working for a day and the remote key battery needed replacing. Trim rattles and squeaks are annoying. Other than that nothing major. I have owned 13 cars so far including many Toyotas, and this has had the least amount of problems.

[@jpch8814]

This car has awesome fuel economy, great AWD performance in snow but it is small inside, and the engine used to almost dying on my family when we went up a hill with the AC on 😅. If a puny engine, lackluster performance, low built quality are not a problem, it is a great car for a small family. We replaced it with a Volkswagen Tiguan, the Tiguan felt like a luxurious tank by comparison.

[@Kerveros1904]

I am struggling to understand how there are so many faults with this car. I am an owner of a 1.6 Petrol 2011 model and the car does not make noises, absorbs road anomalies gracefully, i have no paint chip issues or damages to the plastic and the seats are comfortable for my height both front and rear (i am 1.83 m). Road noise is minimum, and there is no wind noise when i travel. In fact i travel at 140 km/h in a very relaxed manner and the engine does not produce the noise that my megane coupe does (14 16V 2001). The only part i can agree with you is that its acceleration is not instant it takes a while and only when it builds on RPM ( > 3000) it shows its power (the Megane in this section shines: it pulls up instantly at the moment you press the pedal). Finally my interior does not have failing bits and no plastic is moving back and forth. I suspect that the owner of the car you tested was not very careful, maybe she was abusing it...

my nissab 1.6 diesel 130 hp 320 newton from 2012 has driven over 200,000 km without major repairs 17-18 km per liter of diesel. It has been abused with many short trips > 10 km on salty roads and humid and changing climate - 25 to +35 degrees Celsius. It is still presentable with no visible rust or discoloration. Wear parts replaced: 2 wheel bearings 1 bearing ball and all brake pads. due to the driving style, the egr has also been changed.

[@ytlurker220]

Great comprehensive review, but the blame on Renault is just uncalled for. Renault doesn't use CVTs and that's the biggest thing that goes wrong - it's all Nissan's design and choice that went into it, through their subsidiary Jatco. Really wasn't necessary to mention Renault. I've found their models last long, and that corresponds to them placing halfway versus Nissan's near last place in the 2021 WhatCar reliability survey. Again - of Nissan's own making. I believe that you completely glossed over the very unique proposition the +2 offers in being a compact "7 seater" that has a large boot as a 5 seater, and 2 extra seats when really needed. There's NOTHING like it, nothing when it was new either. The engine paired with CVT is shit though, and the whiny drone it made going uphill tells me it may be headed for failure. Also a bit odd that you lumped the Megane and Clio together with the 370Z. You're falling for common misconceptions thinking Renault and Nissan are conjoined at the hip when it comes to actually producing each of their own model lines.

The power's always been decent, the CVT hasn't complained too much, and I came from a Ford Fairlane NL 4L straight 6 I have noticed the tailgate handle assembly DOES break and a lot of Dualis's are getting around with duct-taped assembly and the rear taillight issue DOES suck every now and then, especially when it drops your cruise control out because voltage is bleeding into your break system and tripping it XD All in all, my Dualis has been great.

Took the car in for an inspection and also to put the new part on and it only cost $70 for labour and inspection.

i owned a ex-display 2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L petrol with manual gearbox,... it was uhm yh mehh, nice at first, definite step up in my opinion from the 06 focus I had. Under powered, so get used to taking your time. Owning one at 21yrs old, you get used to being gawked at by older women and even police pulling you over thinking they're helping an old man. Plenty of room for your mcdonald's after work though. in the 2yrs i owned it, I had work done on the tracking [about 4 times], steering column itself, wing mirrors not folding or adjusting, replaced the the handle for the boot twice, rattling noises, a leaky door or two one of which somehow was dislodged despite never being touched. In terms of safety they're safe in my opinion because you can't go fast enough to be in any real danger [had a car accident didn't feel a single thing, the other person not so lucky]. The light steering is common, and is a Nissan thing in general [like my juke].

There are a couple of issues but nothing that need immediate attention. I have made sure it gets regular services. Whiles living in Europe for 12 months recently, I notice that Qashqais are very popular which does indicate, the issues the reviewer mentions seem to be over-the-top.

We do used car reviews. Every car on the channel is an old car these days.

[@broobie]

@@ReDriven of course. I realise that the cars are old. My point is that I felt the reviewer reviewed the car old car (this is first one I have watched) as if it is a car! Of course, there paint would be flakey and parts would rattle a little. My Dualis has many more ageing defects than the one he reviewed but it is still the best, most comfortable, most well-built car I have ever owned, since i gained my licence in 1968!

[@wesleyrichards8027]

I now have back problems partly caused by a Nissan Dualis. Also, 2016-2013? Don't you mean 2006-2013.

[@lundsweden]

Nissan made really good cars in the 90s, that was their golden period where they had gotten over the rust issues of the older ones, build quality and reliability were high. They seemed to have gone downhill post 2005... around the time of the Renault merger.

Nice review In depth I wanna buy this vehicle but you're making me change my mind 😂 Especially with the middle seat issue Can't you pull up the two front seats a little to give a little extra space ? Or something ?m

[@Kinjo7]

@@thuggy67 hahah thanks so much. I did a bit of research and I found that the car has a couple of known problems and maybe not particularly powerful, but overall it seems fairly reliable. Maybe not as good as a Toyota or Subaru, but you can't usually go wrong with Japanese engineering I think. Hope you get the right car for you.

[@trafficface]

Im borrowing one and its quite reliable apart from if you want to go up hills, otherwise its alright.

[@richardarmittage1202]

I can see you definitely don't like the qashqai, but your negative reviews are your opinions. I personally enjoyed driving mine for the past 13YEARS and still love it. I own other cars as well. Are you comparing with the Mercedes?

[@ReDriven]

It’s less an opinion and more a comment on the broad range of issue that seem to affect the Qashqai. It’s great that your experience with one Qashqai has been faultless and we constantly say that just because issues are common, it’s doesn’t mean there aren’t perfect examples out there. The video is designed to pull information from a variety of sources, many of which report myriad issues with the Qashqai. We’re not denying your experience, we can both be right. The Qashqai on the whole can have a raft of issues, meanwhile your specific example might be perfect, it’s not an either-or situation.

[@ahmadxatti]

What about 2008 le model

[@xXjovigirlXx]

I have a 2007 Nissan Dualis J10 automatic. Went into limp mode. Auto electrician ran codes as was revving on its own in park. Codes came back with number 3 coil pack, spark plug and injector. Coil pack, all spark plugs replaced and injectors all tested good. Problem with revving was still occuring so cleaned the throttle positioning sensor, boom revving gone and running smooth. Only problem is now the engine lights still on. Any suggestions?

[@xXjovigirlXx]

Ps I absolutely love this car. Moon roof, reversing camera, tow bar, tints, so comfortable and beautiful to drive. I have no complaints. 188000km on the clock and I love it!

[@xXjovigirlXx]

Also not connecting to OBD2 diagnostic tool either

My mum has a 2018ish qashqai and hasn't had any issues at all. To be fair the thing will be lucky to see 10k a year and is still well below 100 but for the price it seems like a decent run around!!

We had the Maxima years ago and the Altima until quite recently but neither sold at all well.
