Vehicle details
Nissan Qashqai 1.3 DiG-T 160 Tekna 5dr DCT Petrol Hatchback, , Nissans big-selling, mid-sized SUV gets a few choice changes in the latest iteration though nothing that would scare a current Qashqai buyer, of which there have been some four million since the first one appeared in 2007. So, this is bigger news than it might appear. The Qashqai is designed and built in Britain too, remember. Space and practicality are both good Qashqai's were always a very Goldilocks proposition for a lot of family transport in terms of exterior size vs usefulness and its well-priced. Ok, so the good news is that you cant mistake the new Qashqai for the old unless you squint. It does look decently different, though the overall proportions are obviously the same, a mid-sized SUV with a fairly amorphous profile. The grille has expanded into a giant squished hexagon plated in scales that are inspired by Samurai armour, dontcha know the edges of which now stretch right out to the sides of the car. Below are re-profiled bumpers, above are LED headlights and slim daylight running lights. At the back theres the same vibe, with slimmer rear lights that present as monochrome when dormant and clearer and crisper when on with a deeper red for the brake lights. Again, the rear bumper gets a massage, and there are new designs for the alloys. The new Qashqai is well, great! The changes Nissan has made have improved it, although well within recognition. Its practical and useful, comfortable enough and will get down a road with the minimum of fuss. There are a variety of specifications available to suit everyone's needs from a base model Acenta which is still packed with great tech, all the way up to a Tekna and Tekna+ models which include more refinement of the interior. The N-Connecta spec is the choice of most people. It has a good level of trim and specification including Rear Camera, Satellite Navigation and Apple/Android Car Play. The Qashqai will be here for a long time and we're very pleased about that!
