About the Nissan Qashqai

A used Nissan Qashqai is a great option to get in on the SUV trend. It comes in at a reasonable cost but packs in all the style and features you’d expect from a much higher price point.   

The styling is on-trend but is unlikely to feel dated in years to come, and is a comfortable and easy-to-drive take on a larger vehicle.

A good thing about the Qashqai is that although it’s a spacious car, it doesn’t feel too bulky or oversized on the roads.   

Nissan has a reputation for building reliable and high-quality cars that are great value for money, and the Qashqai is a top example of that.  

The inner cabin is slick and modern but also doesn’t feel too fancy to pop your kids in, and the hard-wearing materials mean it’ll stay looking fresh for longer. This makes it a top choice for a family-friendly car.  

Choose from the entry-level Nissan Qashqai Visia, or level up to the top-spec Premiere Edition for all the added extras.  

It makes a great alternative to similar models, such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Kuga, and Skoda Karoq.

What features does the Nissan Qashqai have?

Even the entry-level and older Nissan Qashqai models come with a whole lot of helpful tech.

You’ll usually get some handy features like parking sensors, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting and a built-in navigation system, but this will vary based on the model you pick. 

If you want to go all out, you could treat yourself to one of our top-spec Qashqai models and get all the standard kit plus heated seats, rearview and 360-degree cameras for better navigation around the car, and an upgraded speaker system.  

There are a few trims to choose from in the Qashqai line, and the one you go for will determine just how much extra tech you get.

There are also the practical functions like a 400-litre boot that can be upgraded to about 1569 litres if you drop the rear seats, so it’s perfect for those flatpack furniture trips.

What is the Nissan Qashqai like to drive?

The Nissan Qashqai comes in a few different models, and each one will differ slightly with performance. The good thing is there isn’t a Qashqai model that isn’t a dream to drive, and they feel great on the roads even compared to the flashiest of SUVs.  

You’ll get a choice of manual or automatic Qashqai models, and there’s a few engine options that range from 1.2 to 1.6 litres, depending on how much power you’d like.  

There are also options for an all-wheel drive offering that's ideal for rougher terrain, but the most popular Qashqai seems to be the classic front-wheel drive.

No matter which variation you go for, each model is easy to drive and comfortable to sit in, and the added driver aids will give you some added confidence out on the roads.
