Nissan Qashqai - One of the UK's best-selling family cars for a reason

BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A NISSAN QASHQAI FROM OSV: bit.ly/2HEVDa0
Improvements to Nissan's second generation Qashqai Crossover make like even more difficult for this model's host of imitators. Jonathan Crouch takes a look
These days, the Nissan Qashqai is sleeker, feels more expensive inside and offers some of the most sophisticated electronic safety technology in the mid-sized Crossover segment. Improvements to the 1.5-litre dCi diesel that most customers choose have enhanced its appeal. Plus as before, there's also a 1.6-litre diesel and two petrol engines, front or all wheel drive and manual or Xtronic automatic transmissions. There's a reason why this Nissan is such a hugely popular contender in the mid-sized SUV segment.

[@patrickneijenhof4080]

First off a great review, very detailed and complete. I did however find a mistake made by the presenter during the bit around the 30 minute mark. He speaks as if the car driven is a N-Connecta model with things like the 18 inch allow wheels, in fact this looks to be the Tekna version. The tires clearly state at 30:53 minutes that they are R19 and this these are the 19 inch alloy wheels off the Tekna (that and i drive the Tekna version of this car ;) ). Also the seats are half leather which are standard in the Tekna model. Granted these can also be fitted as an option in the N-Connecta. But i strongly think the review car here is the Tekna kind with extra options fitted for the Glass roof that is now only standard on te Tekna+ and the Bose audio upgrade, which normally also is only standard in the Tekna+. Oh and also a dead giva away that this is the Tekna is the heated front window.

[@jackd9928]

Definitely a tekna in this video I agree although I've just done a deal on the Tekna normal not the Tekna plus and the glass roof wasn't an optional extra, it comes as standard with the Tekna or does now...don't know if that's a newer thing or what. It shows in the spec breakdown as well on Nissan's website.

Another great review with plenty of detail, i had the mark one qashqai for nearly ten years and it never let me down it was the 1.6 petrol and was a pleasure to own but hearing of bad reliability reports of the mark two i decided to trade it in for the skoda karoq which so far has been very good.

[@furkanekiz8876]

Qashqai is the most reasonable preference between SUVs with its comfort, quality, and good looking.

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Its a great choice 👍 that's probably why we see so many on the roads

[@MsSashbar]

SEAT Ateca cost the same but feels more refined. I like the looks of Qashqai but as soon as you pull out you immediately feel Ateca is a better car - better engine, better steering and the overall feel of refinement ( incl infotainment) compared to Nissan. I bought Ateca.

[@AcnAPyX681]

Hello Sir, I recently discovered your channel with the KZbin's autoplay option. The channel is pure gold. Very descriptive reviews. Almost every questioned in my head is answered in your video. My only recommendation is to have some form of chapters like some other channels do. For instance if I want to check the interior, I won't have to traverse the whole video to find it. I really like how you compare the competition in the same price segment. I currently compare those SUVs and I wonder if it is a good idea to buy the old (the one from the video) Qashqai, or to wait for the new one. I can buy this version with Tekna + package for around 25K euro and the Accent (mid equipment) for about 20K. I think the new one is going to be significantly more expensive.

As n ex owner of a 13 plate tekna and then a 16 plate tekna (both privately purchased) the few faults with the Qq were old fashioned navigation graphics,and little things like ,a lack of window switch illumination,no gas strut on the bonnet and headrest that don't tilt. And my biggest bugbare,you can't remove the preselect touch buttons for the radio on the screen ,while you are running the nav screen. It just makes the already small screen look cluttered .
