Thanks: NISSAN GÖRKEM OTOMOTİV • / nissangorkemoto • Nissan Qashqai review • “The Nissan Qashqai gets some worthy improvements as part of a chunky facelift. Does the job admirably, not really one for the enthusiast. Obviously” • Good stuff • Well-priced in the more basic grades, decent space, nicely-equipped, a do-it-all car for families • Bad stuff • Bland to drive, annoying ADAS, not the prettiest thing • Overview • What is it? • Nissan’s 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. • There’s a new face (grille, lights, bumpers), new lights and bumpers on the back, more advanced driver assistance and better connectivity, and a bit of a tweak to the interior. The drivetrains stay the same (the e-Power is the big seller); one of the last ICE-involved powertrains before everyone plays at 100-percent electric. • There are also mild hybrid versions of various power outputs (the DIG-T) which also offer the option of all-wheel drive. • Space and practicality are both good - Qashqais were always a very Goldilocks proposition for a lot of family transport in terms of exterior size vs usefulness - and it’s well-priced. In a world of expensive EVs, a true family SUV starting at just over £30k feels good value. The e-Power starts at £34,430 mind, so be aware of that, even if it is the big-seller. • It is not, however, particularly inspiring on the move. Perfectly acceptable, but if you’re a TG reader you probably want to at least stay awake when driving, and the Qashqai is bland enough to sleepwalk through. It’s the glass of water of the automotive world; it’ll keep you alive, but it won’t tickle your tastebuds. • Talk me through the changes on the outside? • Ok, so the good news is that you can’t 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, don’tcha 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 there’s 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, now up to 20-inches and including 18s and 19s. • Interestingly, you can get an ’N-Design’ grade that body-colours more of the styling elements (sills, wheelarches) and costs the same as the Tekna grade. Not sure which one we prefer, but it does make the car look a tiny bit more premium… which is what Nissan was going for. Generally it's as per the Qashqai of old: a bit forgettable, but inoffensive. • Is it really a new Qashqai? • Debatable. If this sounds like a load of tweaks, you’d be right. Fundamentally it’s the same car, but there has been attention paid to a host of different areas. The interior has new materials - the Alcantara dash wrap being actually quite nice - and there’s now a 360-degree camera for kerb-free parking, Google included in the Nissan Connected system and a host of other advanced driver assistance upgrades. It’s definitely not a root and branch change, but more keeping up with the Joneses. • Worth noting that a lot of the ‘upgrades’ are byproducts of must-be-included new GSR2 rules that mandate the amount of safety tech, so Nissan is bigging-up some stuff that it had to include anyway. TG isn’t sure the ‘transparent bonnet’ feature (where the cameras give you a projected direct line of sight to the front wheels) was entirely necessary, mind. • Even Nissan seemed like they felt they were stretching it when they mentioned that the use-case they investigated for the tech was ‘lining the car up with the rails in an automatic car wash’. That sort of thing is useful in an off-roader, less so in a not-so-big family car. • Read More https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/n... • Instagram ▶ / cartvpress • TikTok ▶ / cartvpress • Facebook ▶ / cartvpress
