Nissan Qashqai 2018 Full Road Test & Review | Planet Auto

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

Having driven the Qashqai and some of its rivals, I have to say that this review is one of the few that dares to tell it like it is. The Qashqai is so popular for a reason. It simply is an excellent car and it gets maintained very well by Nissan as well. Meanwhile, Nissan added semi autonomous driving, Android Auto and Apple car play alongside with a (outstanding) TomTom sat nav, USB Ports in the back, a fantastic 1.3 Turbo with a 7 speed DCT... One advice for the reviewers; If you mount your camera to the car, you will get a tremendous amount of structure-borne sound on your audio track, which makes the car appear super loud. A set of lavalier mics (or better headsets, since the lavalier often collides with the seat belt) will help tremendously. Or you get a rode video mic wich is suspended and therefor a bit more decoupled from the vehicles structure. Thanks for this review, awsome job!

Thank you, great SUV and we use a Rode professional mic

Back through the back catalogue again, excellent Review as always guys, the qashqai looks really good in that shade of blue.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Davy, we hope to get the new one soon.

i'm picking up an 18 plate 1.5 cdi tekna next week, really looking forward to driving it, i would've liked a power tailgate on a tekna but its pretty much fully loaded as it is!

[@PlanetautoUK]

Oh very nice, yes that’s a trim that impresses, enjoy John and keep us posted on your adventures.

[@pward2482ify]

Do they do this vehicle in a 4x4 or awd when needed?

[@PlanetautoUK]

The auto mode allows awd with torque vectoring and slippage detection, hope this helps Paul, thank you *B

Just stumbled across your Page. I‘m impressed by your honest reviews 👍🏽 I’ve now watched many reviews. Detailed and insightful! This is the exact car I’ve had from March 2018. But in the 1.5 Diesel engine. I now need to downsize due to mostly town driving. Wanting a fun, stylish small car. Petrol. That economical but fun. And can handle daily living of town driving. And occasionally weekend motorway drive. Any suggestions guys? 👍🏽 I’m torn between new Fiesta ST-line X or Seat Ibiza FR. but the fact the FR has manual rear windows is very off-putting!

[@PlanetautoUK]

hmm we'll have a think, and thank you.

[@PlanetautoUK]

The Suzuki Swift seems a car that would fit your needs, try one, we think you'll be surprised, one thing not quite as luxurious as the Qashqai.

[@michaellawrence4494]

What is your mpg normally town driving

[@ActualCounterfactual]

I have had my 1.5 Diesel now for a year now, I bought it second hand. No regrets at all, it just keep going, its reliable, its comfy enough, storage is OK, audio speakers are great, the only negative I can think of is that cruise control does not "read" the car in front of you to adjust... also... the touch screen controller feels a bit old and out of date.... otherwise I have no regrets at all in any areas. I would even buy one again if this was stolen or broke down.

[@PlanetautoUK]

You know you’ve the perfect vehicle when you can say that, adaptive cruise control is becoming more and readily available too as us extra safety, thank you

[@A-R53]

How quiet is the car in the high speed?

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s nice and refined, unless under load, thank you Akbar

[@A-R53]

@@PlanetautoUK Thank you for making these videos! I really appreciate it.

[@PlanetautoUK]

You are very welcome Akbar and thank you for your questions and comments

[@oneandonlybatfoy]

Does it have traction control? and did you try it out?

[@PlanetautoUK]

oneandonlybatfoy yes, works well just helps with grip

[@Out_of_Continent]

Hey Qashqai lovers, am looking for a used one if anyone has leads to a considerable low price... I have not seen one in my country "Kenya", I would like to be the first one cruising around, I checked sbt beforward dealers, inflate prices unreasonably. Question is, what would be the budget for 6 years old used?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Syiem, can anyone help him out?

[@mahomeskc80]

Seen some in Nairobi

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you

[@jesserobertsvideos4741]

Nice colour

[@srspower]

5:12 The boot is tiny even compared to a ford Puma.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s not tiny by any stretch of the imagination, this size suits most people.

[@LS-ly8gl]

You've got!

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’ve the new one next week 😆 thank you L S

[@R3RLEE]

Engine???

[@PlanetautoUK]

1.6 Diesel, apologies Lee we didn’t seem to mention that it in the intro

[@R3RLEE]

@@PlanetautoUK Thanks, and nice review.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Lee Justin thank you Lee

[@srspower]

7:30 it is boring to drive! It is literally the slowest and most bulky car I have ever driven. And yeah it does 70mpg on the motorway but day to day? You will get 28mpg if you're lucky.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s not, you can’t have driven many vehicles like this, by far it’s not the slowest in its class, that doesn’t make sense, have you had a challenging experience? Have you driven the new one? The new one is most definitely an improvement, even though we enjoyed this one. Edit - review on new one coming soon

[@srspower]

@@PlanetautoUK Mine is from 2019 I just got it from work as someone left and it had a year left on the lease and they were renting what I had. Don't get me wrong it's like a space ship in terms of options. But it's SO slow and actually not very good on fuel unless you take it on the motorway.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Strange, the one we had wasn’t slow, it’s not an FK8, but it wasn’t bad, economy was pretty good too.

[@srspower]

@@PlanetautoUK it’s amazing on the motorway as in 70mpg. But my mileage is paid exactly with what I spent in a month. So work miles? It’s great but personal miles popping about? 28 - 35?mpg. I’d rather it was the opposite!

[@PlanetautoUK]

@@srspower there are far more economical motors out there, bear in mind there’s no hybrid not even MHEV, the Genesis GV70 on the forecourt currently I’m getting 16.9 mpg 😆😆😆 thank you SRSPower
