NEW Nissan Qashqai review - is this SUV back on top? | What Car?

[@millerbai]

Front looks as if somebody described a Tucson to an artist over the phone.

[@alxdava2004]

🤣🤣 excellent description

[@FelixTenne]

I ordered the n-connecta+ 4x4 in Deep Ocean :)

[@vp272]

No one ever bought the Visia model anyway. It always undercut rivals by a big margin on monthly pcp and lease deals and the mid range was the sweet spot between price and equipment. Its perfect size for family of 4

[@Tailspin80]

Wife has a 2017 1.2 Dig-T. Brilliant car. Drives well, loads of kit, leather seats, dual climate control, cameras, very reliable … Now she’s bored with it and wants something different so I guess I’m going to have to fork out for an XC40. If you look at what you get as standard in the Qashqai they are very hard to beat for the price.

[@marvin23232323ify]

Have they now included auto locks on moving?

[@seltaeb3302]

Yes, if you mean walk away & open on approach. If you sit in car, you press button on the arm rest to lock all doors & boot.

[@mikadavies660]

You can buy a "brand new" Qashqai with around £6k or more off..... Clearly it must be dealers clearing old stock. I would go for the best deal rather than a face-lift model.

[@anemeth9281]

Plus the pre-facelift model looks better

[@AZ-bd7ux]

I guess with the discounts offered the pre-face lift model is a buy now.

[@mandyarnage2530]

Nice to see they have covered the paint on the inside of the doors, they should be for the price they are asking!

[@ellisrochlin2267]

So summing up ,redesigned the front face grill ,lights . Minor changes tweaked the rear lights , trim and improved the screen a little. But it's the same engines , gearboxes so no one sitting in a pre tweeked will bother to px . Was going to get a 2024 tekna plus with the e power for 33 k . Great price about9 k less than normal window price . Asked how long is the e power warranted , nissan rep stuttered a bit then said it's the standard 3 yrs . 😢 I walked away not due to the extra tax , 350 per year for 5 years plus the standard 190 after first year but because it should have got a 5 year warranty on the electric tec parts , just sayin

[@seltaeb3302]

Ive just got the ePower. Really nice & well built, designed in Sunderland. The power is superb.

[@adomingues00]

Good review, but unfortunately it didn't touch on the subject i am most interessed wich is the new 360º camera setup. Saw somewhere you can now have more views around the car besides the old "over the top" drone view, not it seems you can rotate that "drone view" aswell ?

[@bgjuk-c8u]

Yes indeed same number of cameras but much more capable now

[@farhorizons3901]

Why compare it with a Kia Sportage when the Niro is of a similar size? Surely the Sportage is more similar to an X-Trail in size?

[@antht1306]

Superb car, love my e-POWER. Not so keen on the full body coloured bumpers, the version with gloss black on the bumpers and/or chrome is much smarter and similar to the original intention.

[@nigelp4795]

Nice review - Everyone seems to have access to the newer N-Design trim when reviewing this facelift! Nissan really want to push that new version. I am waiting for someone to review or at least show the new Tekna model with the odd (brown) "Burnt Umber" interior touches. Brown doesn't sound overly appealing - since the 1970's!

[@rjw4762]

I think it's a bit too soon to do a facelift. Sat in one 3 months back and thought it was pretty good - though a little too small for our family - so likely to go for the brand new VW Tiguan. Hope this car sells well though....important that Nissan stays in UK.

[@anthsarin070497]

The facelift was "rushed" so to speak because this Qashqais lifespan is likely to be shorter than the rest, Nissan is aiming to release full electric replacements by the end of the decade

[@R3RLEE]

Does the n design have the heated screen or just the tekna?

[@NewtHew]

This one has it, though my understanding is that it does not come as standard in the N-Design trim as this trim is effectively N-Connecta+ (it's positioned as N-Connecta grade with exterior and interior styling changes). The heated screen can be added as part of the Heat Pack

[@AntonDanilchenko]

So what is better to select for a family with three kids? Sportage? Something better for the same money?

[@tonycat47]

I have been driving a new Nissan Juke hybrid N-connecta 2024 for about 8 weeks. Its not my personal vehicle & I have not driven a Nissan car before. So far I find it good car in its price range and certainly a big improvement on the previous versions. I am not reviewing this car but pointing out a bad feature in my opinion. The problem is “speed limit chimes” or sounds. Initially I thought I could turn off these chimes, but after a number of calls to Nissan customer services, it now seems it is a permanent feature. You might say why turn off a “possible” safety feature. In driving at variable speeds there is a flashing or blinking speed sign in the instruments to let you know when going over the limit, which is enough without the chimes. But in some driving environments such as towns & villages where the speed limit changes quickly from one to another the chimes become “an annoying distraction” especially if you are listening to music or a podcast. Even chatting to a passenger. Also getting directions from a SatNav. This “overkill of technology” is spoiling driving experience & doing the opposite of its intentions and just to say I am not against technology. I don’t think drivers need a car to tell them about speed limits. If this is something that Nissan is imposing on its customers I will not be considering Nissan cars as a possible purchase or even recommending to anyone. At least as a customer you should have a choice.

[@NewtHew]

This is not a Nissan thing unfortunately - its an EU regulation that was implemented as of 1st July 2024. The chime is just Nissan's implementation of said system, but by law it must be there.

[@damieg82]

0:32 who are these "many people" he's referring to? By 2006 we were already on to the SECOND generation Rav4, and CRV. There was the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mitsubishi Pajero IO (and Outlander) which debuted 3-4 years prior. I'm sorry but I can't think of a single person who thought the Qashqai kickstarted any segment. Not to mention Nissan's own Xtrail predates the Quashqai

[@David_Denali]

Pls review the Rogue with the 2.5 lit NA engine

[@AHoundOnAHonda]

And then, maybe the Rogue.

[@jermineprince9188]

It's a nice vehicle, however I don't like Nissan e-power setup where the engine is a generator.

[@alxdava2004]

Exactly, no advantage for that setup

[@bgjuk-c8u]

@@alxdava2004smoother drive is the advantage. And marginally better efficiency than the mild hybrid drivetrain

[@seltaeb3302]

The Austral system is complicated with a computer deciding which drive to power wheels, ICE or Electric motor. There's a complicated meshing system that will be dodgy. The e-Power keeps it simple & a good way. We shall see..

[@JunAlfredAmarilla]

why is the steering wheel on the left side?? shoud it be on the right side hence we are in the UK

[@seltaeb3302]

Because it wasn't launched here before in Spain. It's always in Spain for some reason.

[@geoff544]

Nissan website seems to suggest that the Acenta Premium has a 7" screen.

[@anthsarin070497]

Only on the previous generation if the website hasn't been updated yet All the new facelifts have exactly the same screen across the board, same as the Juke facelift too. The 7" has been dropped completely

[@geoff544]

@@anthsarin070497 It is updated, with the new N-design model, but on closer inspection, it says 12.3" on the main page but when you go into the individual model equipment specs it says 7" - so it seems to be a Nissan website error.

[@UrbanNomad883]

Similar to you, I had a 16 plate Juke and changed it for a 70 plate QQ N-Connecta. However I honestly believe my current QQ looks much better than this.

[@seltaeb3302]

​@@UrbanNomad883I'm getting the ePower & I didn't like the front with the big black grill, but when you see it in the flesh it looks great, somehow the pics don't get the grill right as the top part angles back. It's not overloaded with tech either like Renault which I was hoping to get a full Scenic but seat was painful for me. I've had Renaults for 25years, big switch. Dealership people are great as well. I nearly considered a Dacia, they are much loved & are no frills & do the job well.

[@DaveStevis]

how many 10 year old Qashqai's are now in the breakers yard - 90%

[@1510km]

After reducing their dealerships, Nissan are about to loose their market share 🤣 major mistake by Nissan. Giving benefit to other manufacturers. Dumb decision.

[@sargfowler9603]

The hybrid model is a bit disappointing. Surely a charge port would have made it much cheaper to run? Unless the battery is really, really small. Many manufacturers are now putting in 20kwh batteries in their hybrids.

We mainly all do town type driving & here via the braking Regen system charging the bty the ICE charging will be much less, if hardly on at all. I wanted to do a full EV but the infrastructure is minimal. Mway stns have queues waiting to charge, maybe an hour or more with 30mins charging on top. Hybrids are becoming important for a good while we wait for underfloor charging, that's the only way especially on homes streets.

It's e power, it's a generator that charges a battery that powers the electric motor, it's an ev, no gear box necessary, like every ev you just select forward or reverse.

[@descarroll2039]

No electric tilt and slide sunroof available....

[@jameschester1261]

And looks like the only colour choices for the interior are dreary, gloomy and claustrophobic

[@johanmarnfeldt5262]

Is this car related to Renault Austral?

[@seltaeb3302]

No. Austral has computer decides which power source, ICE or Electric motor to power wheels, quite complicated meshing. Nissan has simplified it as ICE charges bty only & only electric motor drives the wheels. No meshing required. In town you brake a lot & that also charges bty by Regen & the ICE won't be used that much.

[@bengilrane]

I like this new design the pre-facelift looked so old compared to its rivals it looked like it was from 2016

[@ViewBothSides]

given ALL facelifts are new lights and sometimes a new grill, these facelift reviews are mostly about how you might just about spot the difference if you saw one on the road.

[@stephenwakeman3074]

Agree to an extent, but given the fairly drastic change to the front grille here, I don’t think this is the car to use in making that point. If you cannot tell the difference between one of these and the pre-facelift model, then your eyesight isn’t sufficient for you to be driving.
