The Nissan Qashqai was the first car to be labelled as a crossover. It gave buyers the versatility of a family-sized 5-door hatchback while providing a raised ride height and a chunky 4x4 appearance. Since it was launched in 2007 it has been a massive success. Almost every manufacturer has copied the idea.
The Qashqai is also British. It’s built-in Sunderland.
The Wagonex Qashqai is a high-spec N-Connecta model. Power comes from a 1.3 litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 157 bhp. It’s fitted with a 7-speed auto gearbox. 0-60 mph takes 9.9 seconds; the top speed is 123 mph.
As soon as you step into a Qashqai, you can see why it has been so popular with families and commuters alike. It’ll fit five adults, and it will still feel spacey.
In terms of kit, you get sat-nav, DAB, air con, auto lights and wipers, parking sensors, Bluetooth, panoramic sunroof, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, smart 18-inch alloys, rear privacy glass, and a 360-degree parking camera. The 7-inch colour touchscreen looks really smart. Works well too. The Qashqai also gets a high level of safety kit. It was awarded a full 5-star rating by the European safety bodies.
You’ll certainly appreciate the upmarket feel to the interior. It’s a classy design and both looks and feels good, while still having a lot of storage. Visibility is also excellent…the Qashqai is simple to punt around city streets or manoeuvring into a tight parking area. There’s even a self-parking facility.
Few cars tick as many boxes as the Nissan Qashqai. It was designed from the outset to be a family-friendly holdall. This latest model at Wagonex is better than ever.
