New Nissan Qashqai 2025 | Even Better?

[@NigelRudyard]

What I really like about the Qashqai is the way they've evolved the design -- it now looks very smart and modern, and is a 'Goldilocks' design - not too big but not too small..... great review as usual.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Ambien, spot on with the Goldilocks reference - and yes the way they’ve evolved it without compromising the design.

I enjoyed watching the video review, I particularly like the Red Paint Colour, was It a Tekna Trim😊

[@PlanetautoUK]

Great to hear Jamie it was a Tekna + yes it was very cool colour scheme 😀

[@theo-bit]

nice review. would it be possible to make another video demoing the auto-parking, and the self-driving ? thanks.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We have a road trip coming soon agagoua 😀

[@myothurazaw]

I really like to love epower qashqai as it is basically an ev that doesn't need charging. But it won't let me turn on the aircon remotely from the app as I could in my MG3 hybrid plus.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Sadly, that seems to be the case, @myothurazaw. Hopefully Nissan will amend this when they update the Qashqai. Thank you.

[@jodytaylor5097]

Do you think I could fit 3 large suitcases in the back. Happy to put half the back seat down.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes, they’re pretty spacious 3 should be doable with room left over dependant on trim with regards to the false floor and shape of cases. Thank you Jody.

My wife rides an X-Trail. I want it to be my commuter car, so This is a car that I would like to see sold in Japan.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Is it not?

[@諾哉]

​@@PlanetautoUKSince it is a right-hand drive, it seems that you can drive it in Japan as is.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Oh, would it have to be modified to meet Japan regs?

[@諾哉]

@@PlanetautoUK New cars in Japan are now required to be equipped with safety features such as ADAS and sensors. Are there any problems like this? There is no need to retrofit older cars.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We have similar, ADAS on new vehicles - or they get a low NCAP rating, retro actively possibly limiters mandatory new cars, but can be disable legally, strange times.

[@robincormie855]

Only problem with the non epower still same auto box,i have had a few problems with mine i don't if would buy another this is my 3rd one.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Oh, not ideal - did it just fail Robin?

[@robincormie855]

@PlanetautoUK Hi the problem was when you released the brake the car would lurch forward,also a few rattles from dash voice commands would come on unexpectedly it's been to the dealership 4 times still not right! Only done 7000 miles it's a shame because I like the look of the new face lift.

[@PlanetautoUK]

@robincormie855 not something we’ve experienced in Qashqai, had the opposite in other SUVs - hope you get it sorted, one question - is it resolved then comes back or does it never completely go away?

[@robincormie855]

@PlanetautoUK Hi the problem has come back from previous visits to the dealer, I got the car back last week still not right, but I am going to give it time see what happens, as I said I like the look of new car but it's still the same engine and auto gearbox!

[@PlanetautoUK]

@robincormie855 it’s not surprising with a facelift, keep us posted - I’ve used that box multiple times and never experienced what you’ve described 🤔 hopefully it sorts itself.

[@ronthomas380]

Hi Great car, whats put me off, the parcel shelf, No pulling out the shelf, old style system, much better on the X -Trail. A big let down for me, other wise a great SUV. Regards welshman 2081

[@PlanetautoUK]

Ah Ron it’s amazing how removing something that’s been a staple and moreso has a purpose can turn you off said thing 🧐

[@georgedaville4662]

Hi guys, this drive train is very similar to my Honda HRV, but it does not seem to roar as much under hard acceleration as the Honda. Beautiful car, well appointed, suits the red and black roof (my favour colour combo too), could well be a contender for my next car? However, with 5 year warranty and 5 years servicing included with the Honda it could be a while 😂 economy seems on a par with the Honda HRV too, I am currently averaging just over 60 mpg. The quality of the build in the Nissan is superb and the styling is top notch too. Great review as always guys👍😎

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you George, yes it is, I reckon moving forward most manufacturers will develop sometime of HEV or adopt / share tech etc. Amazing motor the HR V, for so many reasons.

[@jdmguy44]

"quality of the build superb" Hmm satisfaction/reliability surveys always suggest the opposite. Nissan have their issues these days.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Surveys are such a small percentage, owner feedback is the best way, and to experience for one’s self we find JDM.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

I hate black plastic wheel arch trim on SUVs, it always looks filthy or faded, but that gloss trim looks fantastic.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It depends on the vehicle for us Mk2 Golf with sprayed arches looks overdone, it’s amazing what used to be mods, is now standard on vehicles premium sound system, 18s etc

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Christ car prices have gone up, in 2017 my wife paid 25k for a brand new fully loaded top spec Cashcow, now you are looking at over 40k😳😳😳😳

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes this last 7 years, prices have rocketed across the board, most of the competitors too, thank you Jabber

[@ffotograffydd]

Still no ePower with AWD, disappointing given they do that combination for the X-Trail.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s a strange omission especially as you can get an AWD ffoto, thank you

[@ffotograffydd]

@@PlanetautoUK I’ve heard a lot of good things about the X-Trail ePower version, but it’s a bigger car than I need. I guess I’m back to looking at the Kia Sportage, they offer a HEV with AWD, it’s a shame because I do like the way the ePower engine works.

[@PlanetautoUK]

@ffotograffydd it’s very random, and doesn’t quite make sense why there isn’t one, and I can’t find any info explaining. Maybe the next gen I presume that will follow this will get one.

[@JohnBallantyne-z6u]

@planetautouk great review , i have just ordered e power tekna in ocean deep with black roof. My current vehicle is a vw tiguan r line , it was a toss up between this and the new tiguan. As you can guess the tiguans mpg was no where near this, and as I do a lot of miles going back and forward to work now , this has become a factor for me when looking at a new car. I also have all the bells and whistles in my current car and nissan was the only manufacturer out there that could give me all this within my price range. So along with the mpg and after the test drive I was sold. Let's hope the e brake , e power and reliability live up to expectations. 😊

[@PlanetautoUK]

@JohnBallantyne-z6u congratulations and thank you, what a colour combo - yes it’s an amazing SUV and this powertrain, is certainly the best, of what we’ve gleaned it’s a strong powertrain and it’s good it’s been out a few years to see its reliability coupled to longevity, enjoy John and keep us posted on your adventures.

[@volt8684]

I haven’t driven a new one of these. However I test drove one of these back to back with a Tucson in2016. The ride was horrific,jiggling an understatement. They were 15k then now 30-40k. And a good buy?I guess I am losing touch with reality? Out my league financially and I am glad that I can’t afford that much for a car because even if I could they just aren’t worth it. And all the tech, since when did we need this. My friend had projector adaptive headlights on his bmw x3. One night some gobs trashed his headlights. Replacement 1200 each plus fitting plus recoding. Buy one and out of warranty god help anyone with repairs. A fantastic review bit its purpose is a run of the mill family tool. A lot of these cars will be scrapped years before their predecessors. Is there anyone who can fix this amount of tech?

[@PlanetautoUK]

The price hikes we’ve seen in automotive in this country over the last 10 years is absolute insanity and It’s a bit like smartphones, a ridiculously small percentage will use all the tech Lidar, 3 D mapping, Tracking etc but each year another one comes out with more tech with a higher price. However especially like Qashqai they sell like hot cakes - the challenge with automotive is the tech is needed 8/10 for a decent NCAP. The Bavarian point you make is similar to people can opening Porsche lights. As for prices they’re in alignment with the competition and you can pay way more for an SUV of this size, crazy old world Volt and thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[@Mr11ESSE111]

actually best Qushaqai for price was those from 2017-2020 which price was on the Golf level and performance was way better then now this new one which are slower with 160hp then previuos one with 140hp and of course higher consumption and terribly high price too

[@PlanetautoUK]

Back then there was no real eco limits or serious NCAP ADAS, all that has affected pricing and power. The ePower is superb considering all this.

[@Mr11ESSE111]

@@PlanetautoUK ePower is only superb in much higher price while anything else not so
