2023 Nissan Qashqai review | The best new small SUV?

Great review mate and loving the channel. Do you recall the Qashqai having a quiet or noisy ride? I like the internal cabin to be quiet so this could be a dealbreaker despite all the other positives.

At the top spec, a Lexus UX200 would be a better buy. Nisan has done an amazing job on this and the new X-Trail though. Great review mate!

Rip off. The top model should cost !no more than 35000

Top of the range Qashqai or Audi Q2?

The Gear Guy for the Qashqai…. Ok, that was the best I could do at short notice. 😊

Great review. But Jatco CVT? No.

Have you reviewed the Rav 4 Hybrid 2023?

Thanks for the outstanding review. Not many reviewer talk about 'real world' fuel consumption. Perhaps this can be further improved by driving around a suburb where there are a combination of uphill and downhill roads or highway, include this in your fuel consumption too. You talked about the boot space and showed the spare tyre too. Well done! Most reviewers dont talk about this either. Keep up the good work.
Your choice of reviewing the ST-L variant is also a good one. Not many people have the money to buy the top expensive variant.
I am now a subscriber to your channel. 🙂

Nice video
I am a 35 years professional driver I have the toyota corolla cross 2000cc , awd , hybrid .
It's an amazing car

Whay you recomand ? Nissan qashqai or hyunday tucson 2023? Thank you

The e-power Qashquai looks good in the UK. When it is due here?

Thanks

Does qasquai have a cd player

Nice review Matt, I've been struggling the whole past two months to choose between CX-5 , Outlander & Qashqai, Cx-5 has a nice automatic transmission but not many safety features, Outlander is so nice but the hood flutter is an issue, and Qashqai is a little bit smaller than them regarding the cargo space, PLEASE, help me to choose.

Matt, if you had to choose between the Qashqai and the new Crosstrek (like I’m trying to do right now) - what would you do

Tuscan nline or tiegan rline much better cars

mg zst has 6-speed automatic transmission from Asin which is the transmission manufacturer for toyota. Say no to cvt transmission car

Great review Matt thank you. We're probably not looking to purchase a Qashqai but we're hiring one in a few weeks and your video was a good watch in terms of what to expect. Thanks again. Hope the channel does well.

I test drove the Tekna ePower (UK), and it blows the 1.3 CVT version out of the water. It's so quiet, smooth and 0-62mph in 7.9s, which is the same for the most powerful EV ID.3 Tour.

It's just 1 pure electric power train, with a 1.5 turbo petrol generator and small battery 2.2 KW.
The engine was taken from the Nissan premium Infiniti brand, and is rated in the top 10 worlds best ICE engines, with a acclaimed thermal efficiency of around 50%.
The ICE is finely tuned for the job of electrical generation, with no need to provide low end torque a drive shaft.
On an urban 1h test drive in the northwest of England, the ICE was off for 80% of the time, and managed around 61mpg UK.
I placed an order for one, start of February 2023. Expected delivery around end of April/early May 2023.

Hey love the review!👍👍👍 i have a 2022 qashqai awd up here in Canada!! Iove it!! BUT i wish that nissan would bring the euro version here to the North America market!! … cheers 👍👍!!!

Another good alternative would be the Skoda Karoq personally. It generally feels more premium in the Karoq and has an 8 speed auotomatic

the Cuckatoo's are having a right old party in the background....

If it is your money, which small SUV would you buy? Plus which model????

48K for a tiny thing. Nissan should just ask for a kidney. no thanks

RVR

I've just ordered the 1.5 e power I find it far superior over the 1.3 expensive yes but I personally think its a game changer

Ti is 53.750dollars is a very expensive good lack Nissan whit the sale

I’ve had my Qashqai for five months. I have top of the range, Tekna + here in the Uk. Slightly different specification, too the top of the range in Australia. All the petrol engines have mild hybrid and you can get all wheel drive versions. Because my car has 20 inch wheels it has MultiLink suspension on the rear. This makes it great fun to drive. Not many of my previous cars, gave me the level of poise on the road, or the level of equipment and tech, my Qashqai has. I think you would probably be looking at a premium manufacturer for anything as good as the Qashqai, but then you will be spending twice as much. Long journeys are a breeze. Leaving you feeling fresh at the end. No other car I have owned left me feeling that way. The semi autonomous, driving system, is amazing. Obviously you have to keep your hands on the wheel and cover the pedals, but once it is set you can relax and let the car do the driving, if you want it to. Leaving you to enjoy the 10 speaker, Bose sound system, playing your favourite music or listening to podcasts. I know this is sad, but I actually look for excuses, to go for a drive. How many cars, make you feel that way? 😊

don't by one with 19 " wheels its very hard ride & drifts on the rd go for 18 " plus the motor revs up when your idle ??? its a hybrid that you cant charge their is no point ; but a great car to drive with the auto & E Brake :

Naa that Kona is gonna be a game changer 🔥

Do they have a transmission problem
Like all the other Nissans

Funny old world when something as simple as rear doors on a family car opening wide,is something manufacturers didn't seem to design on day 1,page 1 of the design brief.

Thanks Matt - I’ve owned many Subarus for their excellent road manners and safety - recently I spent a few days on windy roads in TAS driving a current model Qashqai rental and have to say I was impressed with its road manners, good brakes, interior fit-out and economy with the CVT - very spacious inside like my Forester - I’d be happy for my daughters to own and drive one.

apart from the awful name they really did nail it! great review!

It’s hard to make a case for the qashqui vs it’s big brother the xtrail. The xtrail has a much more comfortable ride and more room for around the same price. When factoring in the higher price of premium fuel the qashqui requires, the fuel cost is not much less than the xtrail either.

Interesting you pointed out the glove box misalignment. I test drove one and the overhead control panel for the sunroof was misaligned.
On a brand new car? A fail for the quality control from Nissan.

I currently drive a2014 Qashqai, and it is a great little allrounder and this new model certainly makes me think it is time to upgrade 👍🏻

The CVT was the killer for me. I would buy the Kia Seltos 1.6 turbo with conventional 8 speed auto.
Hoping the CVT and DCT will fade into history .Some car companies are starting to ditch them.

A nice neat piece of kit and looks like it’s a good size. I’m liking the style of new gen Nissans.

you seem like a straight shoot guy. which would you prefer, Kia Seltos 2 lt GT or this 1.3 lt turbo Nissan Qashqai?? honest opinion
