Qashqai, Tucson, Sportage, Tiguan, Ateca, Karoq.

Which gets your vote? Answers in the comments below!

Rear seat is rubbish for adults. Nissan came close. No cigar.

Dang! The voice don't match the face.

This car is shit as compared to the old one MidnightEdition..For instance, no raised rails, beige interior on the entry models, 18 inch wheels on some entry models...yet more expensive than the Midnight

Qashqai est un véhicule de très mauvaise qualité, le moteur chauffe, le véhicule a un défaut de ventilateur. Je suis très déçu, 8 mois après achat de mon véhicule qashqai, la fane était foutue, elle a été remplacée mais le même problème est revenu encore et encore. Je suis maintenant à pieds depuis trois semaines, mon véhicule est chez le concessionnaire et la pièce est introuvable

I had a 2016 model which I loved, but went all the bells and whistles for my 2019, apart from the reflection from the dash onto the screen I have absolutely adored my car from day one. It's an absolute joy to drive and is a proper work horse too. Just can't fault it.

Finally, a review that doesn't slate the 20" wheels with regard to ride quality. I have just bought a 1yr old 21 plate Tenka+, and the ride with the 20" wheels is superb.
Very smooth and very quiet. Thoroughly enjoying it.

When telling us about comfort in the back please mension your height so we can guage for ourselves the headroom and kneeroom space.

I stopped by my local Nissan showroom and was introduced to this car today. The Qashqai was never on my list for I was looking at the latest Mitsibushi and Mercedes but after the salesman took me through this car and what it offers, I was completely sold. I thought that this suits me well. I am waiting for the Hybrid and self-charge version which will be available at the end of the year. Brilliant car and brilliant in-depth review.

Can someone please tell me where I could download the music that's being played on this video?

and by the car arrives to Australia its already another 12 months old

Is the pull away responsive like the 2019 version or hesitant like the 2014 version?

I love Qashqai so much.

Brilliant review! This is so far the best review I have seen. I really like how you list the safety features, compare this model to the old one and explain how different engines works. I was close to buy the previous model but the quality inside was not good enough for me so I've ended with a Volvo S60 instead. I'm glad to hear the quality is better in this version.

The Qashqai is fairly recent to Canadian market and I think we still have the previous model. Does anybody have an idea how much longer before we also get this upgraded version ? :)

Parker, am expecting mine this weekend. It's just reasonable, ecological, and great panorama. +33 thousand Euro.

Took delivery of a Tekna model October 1st, and I can't fault it, I owned a qashqai before this, I had it for 4 years I thought it was good, but the new one is a totally different car, it handles better and and being the tekna theres plenty of things to play with in the menu, especially if your into gadgets lol. the pro pilot is good. and for a 1.3 the engine has plenty power at the lower of the Horse power offered, I've been getting about 41.8 average so quite pleased with that.

How good is the Bose sound system?is it worth the £500 option upgrade on tekna?

My local Nissan dealer said due to a storage of chips at the moment, if you order one, you won't get it till March 2022 😱

great

Spent weeks looking around but when you actually configure the rivals and put on the kit you want like safety, around camera, HUD, adaptive headlights etc they all become very pricey. Yes, they are better in some aspects but for the overall package, Qashqai wins for me. Particularly with the launch special edition Premier which looks a bargain given the tech package. Good review stressing the importance of usability. Infotainment graphics are large but that's just what you want when trying to use on the move. Same for physical buttons/dials they cost more than putting them on the touch screen but usability is king. Other more expensive brands save money by using the touch screen and then charge you more. Good to see they have done away with the "stick" drive selector in the auto. These are no longer connected to anything physical and having a button for the "Park" is so much easier and quicker to use. I have the old Qashqai and the accelerator is very sensitive, simply selecting Eco mode tames that.

Do they make this one for the U.S? How do you right side drivers like all the controls, radio, air, etc on the left in the UK? Are you mostly left handed over there?

Yes

Apart from the infotainment system, head up display and maybe the seats, my 2008 model of this is better! Will not be in a rush to buy a Nissan going by this standard, stuck in a time warp and looks cheap.

Is this the mild hybrid

Thanks for the review. Can you tell me what the official name of this colour is please? Thanks.

It’s just a copy of the Lexus NX

It'd be helpful to explain what features are for what trims. Not many people are going to bother with 20" rims on a Qashqai and compromise ride quality when you're hauling kids around.

Has it still got a noddy horn?
Or has Nissan finally put a decent twin tone horn on it.

I'm torn between this and a Tiguan Elegance (I wish Nissan had made a diesel version)

I own the current Qashqai and find it hard to like the exterior design of this new model.
It's slab sided and those odd vertical creases at the front and rear flanks are well.....just odd!
Perhaps the looks might grow on me over time, but for now I think the curvaceous hips of the current QQ is more pleasing on the eye.
Saying that I think the new Qashqai will age better than the new Tucson and Sportage.

I had a 2015 tenka model is was horrendous I would never ever even look at another Nissan car.

I really like this model of Qahqai test drove one the other day was impressive and specs really good interior looks and feels better than it looks on internet. Outside style more an individual choice, but I think it looks really good and it doesn't look too much like anything else out just now.
