I currently drive a Qashqai as a rental, and I must say I'm impressed. Its engine is VERY punchy, push the accelerator and it speeds faster than a sports car! It is very smooth in changing gears and overall drive. The only problem is that I find the design... a bit generic, but it's atleast better that what Toyota would've done!
Wing mirrors on QQ are best I have seen.. no blind spots for motorway driving.. ignore what Matt states QQ body roll is quite low and comfort is good. Panoramic roof is really nice.. can watch the clouds when parked up
Agree with the comments that say this car has a bad rep for no reason. It drives really well, extremely great value and the panoramic sunroof is awesome and it looks above average. Recommend test driving it if you’re in the market for a mid size suv
A good tip for modern drivers. I find with a lot of modern cars you get dashboard reflecting in windscreen especially in bright sunlight. Get a black plain T shirt and lay it around dash on drivers side. It makes a massive difference stopping reflection try it!
The Dash in my 05 Element is at 10%. Its VERY slimly raked. Just like the sides, roof and rear hatch. Vertical. I dont have reflections. I also dont have a black shit dash I dont have any connectivity I have BLUE VINYL in my interior Its not clausterphobic... or makes you turn the hvac on.. the second ya get inside.
should i avoid it, consider it, shortlist it, or just outright buy (or in this case: adopt) it? And what's 5 annoying things and 5 things to like about it?
I feel as if Nissan has lost their touch with the Qashqai. Looking back it was so hugely popular when it first came out but now there are so many other and perhaps better options in this class. They really needed to something more special with this new one than just give it a minor facelift. Good car though, but I wouldn't even consider this over a VW Tiguan, Skoda Karoq or a Kia Sportage.
The interior in the Tiguan is awful, nasty nasty plastics. We looked at one, so disappointed in the interior, we even looked in the top of the range one for stupid money and apart from the very nice seats it still had the nasty plastics, shame because it looks great and drives really well. My wife bought a pre facelift QQ top of the range for really not very much money at all, personally I’d have gone for the 3008 but she didn’t like the funky interior and digital cockpit, plus it’s silly money for a Peugeot. As for Nissan losing its touch, it’s a 2014 car with a mid life facelift, a changed steering wheel, new seats, and new bumpers, all cars get facelifts and the price Nissan pay for inventing the crossover segment is others come in afterwards and improve on their design so now it lags behind. When the Mk3 comes out in 2or3 years that’s when we can judge if Nissan is taking things to the next level or losing its touch
The compartment under the boot is mainly for the housing for the Bose Subwoofer. Just thought y'all may want to know :) The sounds system's amazing btw
I work from my car and this is truly the hardest decision I'm trying to make, I've narrowed down to 2019 Outlander but it's a bit bland on the inside, 2019 Rav4 but it's 6-8k more or the Qashqai which is loaded with tech but a bit smaller.
The way mat says car names always varies a bit from the way it's said where I live (obviously) but the way he says Qashqai it's exactly the same as I hear it in my country.
I hope they have changed the front indicators, or make the day time running lights dim when indicating, you could hardly see the indicator on the old version when driving towards one.
I don't remember him ever saying to avoid a car, but I guess he can't say it because than the car brand would never lend him any car. I remember him saying to just buy, but not what car.
These rear armrests that come in these cars are quite cheeky considering the price of these cars and that they are meant for convenience. Its quite evident that you will be forced to shrug your shoulders to put your elbow on them, especially if you are anywhere below 5'8 or so. This also reminds of the arm rests in the 2009 model toyota corolla which used to have one of the most practical arm rests of all times i would say, it was slightly lower set and really chunky which used to really feel like a proper arm rest. Hope the car companies reconsider this.
NICK XP I own 2015 nissan rogue. Oil consumption is around a liter for 2k kilometers. I’ve already replaced blower motor and a fuel pump relay. I’ve driven 85k kms only
Update my car has been in the dealership for 4 months. I have all the paperwork service and diagnostic reports etc etc to support my car engine was faulty before the point of purchase. The dealership, Nissan customer care & Nissan finance agree that the engine was indeed faulty before I bought the car. At the moment the dealership have to perform certain diagnostics on the engine to find out where the noise is coming from as the warranty company need this before they will sign off a new one. If you type 2014 Nissan Qashqai engine fault in a search engine take a look at the results I have no words. I payed for an extended service plan after the complimentary ones ran out. In this service plan it says that I get a courtesy car while the car is being serviced I have had no car for 4 months. The only thing stopping me from going directly to a solicitor is the lady at Nissan customer care she is an absolute credit to them. I honestly believe she is trying to help. So much red tape to get them to finally admit this known fault £19500 for a car that needs a new engine 3 years into a 4 year + finance package. I WILL not give up this fight. If you read this please like this post to help my plight. I have heard there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Watch this space fingers crossed 🤞
In the US "Rogue Sport" version there is only one engine choice, which is a bit disappointing, one would think there would be a market for more alternatives. But they apparently the point is to assure that the fuel economy number is absolute to comply with the regulation no matter the model.
CM Adolf SXE I don't know about you, but i not a fan of dogs and any pets, despite i have two cats. I more into cars. And i wouldn't say Nissan Qashqai is ugly, i'm not a fan of it. The Qashqai is okay, but boring interior. I really hate when dogs bark at me for no reason. I mean, our cats are not aggressive as dogs are. I actually hate dogs in general. Dogs are lot of work too.
The issue with the kuga is ford sync and the engines seem very thirsty on paper. Other than that i don't mind their looks. Titanium trim and up as decent .
The Qashqai and the new mazda CX5 was on my wife and i shortlist, we got the CX-5, and funny enough my father in law got the full spec Qashqai, and now after driving around in the mazda and the nissan, and hands down the mazda is a better car.
hm, wonder when the refreshed design will reach the US? seems like the car was introduced here not too long ago and i'm just now seeing them around town. perhaps they'd do better in sales with this more attractive look.
Hello Mat, how would you say does it compare to Skoda Karoq regarding cabin noise at motorway speeds (130 km/h)? I am not decided between these two models and cabin noise is an important factor for me. Thank you.
I would like to say my Nissan qashqai 1.6 diesel has just broken down because of my short journey's inside town. So my Diesel particulate is BLOCKED!! funny wasn't covered under my 3 years garentee 😢 took back to the dealer to swap it with a petrol one!
THAT COAT !!! ..... m8 what type of coat is that?!? maker and where to buy?!? anyone know? it's fit car coat but the button and the collar are different. help. ty.

Out of all the SUV Cars why is my pick always Nissan Qashqai, I am in love with this beautiy

How can a car review be this entertaining? I love this channel.
Yea I think I'll just shortlist every car in this planet.
Hehe
Does the car come with the doggo :D
JZ yes it is the top spec model only
@@dylanjb4065 hhhhhhhh
Haha very funny jokes man 👨

No USB or 12v outlet for the kids on the rear bench is a no-go for me in 2019...(and years before)
whoever designed the new steering wheel deservers a payrise
I like it too
Mat is the kind of guy every other guy would want to have for a friend. And the reviews are thoroughly enjoyable. :)
Surprised to see "Rogue Sport" in the title. Really goes to show how many Americans watch this channel.
Jake Root its still called the qashqai in canada :)
Qashqai
In Mexico is called X-Trail
Rogue Sport sounds so much better. Wtf is Qashqai???
raymundo0615 The Xtrail is another car

I dont have reflections.
I also dont have a black shit dash
I dont have any connectivity
I have BLUE VINYL in my interior
Its not clausterphobic... or makes you turn the hvac on.. the second ya get inside.
Now after they retired the 115hbp engine and replaced it with the 160 how is it compared ? will there be an update
You should make a review on that dog
He's a little slow and is exceedingly flatulent. 13/10 he tries his best.
Kapil Prusty
Would of been far more interesting.
sounds like a good boy!
should i avoid it, consider it, shortlist it, or just outright buy (or in this case: adopt) it? And what's 5 annoying things and 5 things to like about it?
Kapil Prusty it would be called dogwow
I think mazda, in my opinion, has one of the nicest infotainment graphics. It doesnt look rushed and the satnav detail is very nice too.
Big fan of your reviews @Mat
Once again an excellent review Mr Watson
Even though i like these reviews, all new cars are great, and you cannot make a mistake buying either one

They really needed to something more special with this new one than just give it a minor facelift. Good car though, but I wouldn't even consider this over a VW Tiguan, Skoda Karoq or a Kia Sportage.
Qashqai is alightly smaller and much cheaper than a Tiguan.

Did you try the new gen tiguan? Also i agree with you the 3008 is a real nice car.
sic22l and much better in my opinion too good cars these
jbk94 Mazda Subaru and Honda seem like better options
Well done Mat. Really appreciate the honesty, keep up the good work.
we have had our new qashqai since September, teknna + best thing ever
Just bought a 2020 Nissan Qashqai, the Tekna model, was pleasantly surprised with the car :)
Everyone in the UK: New Nissan Qasquai?
Me in the US: A Nissan Rouge Sport? (The rouge is the x-trail and the rouge sport is the Quasquai)
I'm looking at buying a 2018 1.2 Tekna Xtronic Qashqai and I really like it. Shall I buy it over my current 2015 1.2 PureTech Active Peugeot 2008?
Tom Sanderson get a 3008, better kit and more modern
I m going to buy one f these .... hope it is a the right decision
Nice review as always Mat. I look forward to watch the review of VW T-roc!
It would be nice to see a review of the new Nissan xtrail or the new Renault koleos!keep up with the good work!
There is an option in car settings for steering wheel weight adjustment... choose sport and car is much more responsive...
The compartment under the boot is mainly for the housing for the Bose Subwoofer. Just thought y'all may want to know :) The sounds system's amazing btw
I work from my car and this is truly the hardest decision I'm trying to make, I've narrowed down to 2019 Outlander but it's a bit bland on the inside, 2019 Rav4 but it's 6-8k more or the Qashqai which is loaded with tech but a bit smaller.
Never missed any of your videos ........love to see that IBC TAMIL in the infotainment
The way mat says car names always varies a bit from the way it's said where I live (obviously) but the way he says Qashqai it's exactly the same as I hear it in my country.
As a Qashqai owner not sure this review gives an unbiased version, the auto version is better than lots of others
Hello Carwow can you please do a review off the Xtrail 2018? meybe even a compear to rav4 x3 crv audi q5 mercedes glc something like that ? Thank you!
Best car reviewer ever.
Great video, please do Kadjar vs qashqai!
2:05 fyi there are two buttons on the middle box. The nearest one reveals the top tray, the furthest (left hand one) opens the entire box.
I hope they have changed the front indicators, or make the day time running lights dim when indicating, you could hardly see the indicator on the old version when driving towards one.
so what you recommend a nissan qashqai or a hyundai tucson ?
Please advise! T-roc or Qashqai ?? And why ??
Iv'e got this car it's realy nice
Hi Mat, I can not find a review for the Nissan X-Trail either 2017 or 18.
Are you giys still planning on doing a Kia Stinger review?
Just make sure those notifications are turned on ;)
carwow Brilliant guys. Sat in one in the Chiswick Kia showroom and really liked it. Lets hope the car overall is impressive.
The boot catch isn’t a problem at all and neither is the rod for the bonnet, he’s just nit picking
Nice interior, very impressive
Did Matt ever said to avoid or just buy a car? From what I've seen it's always either "consider" or "shortlist"
I don't remember him ever saying to avoid a car, but I guess he can't say it because than the car brand would never lend him any car. I remember him saying to just buy, but not what car.
CMDR Evilijo yes, see the x1 review
Thanks
The 2018 peugeot 3008 SUV was also classified as "buy" and he did say that you should avoid the diesel version of the 2018 mitsubishi outlander PHEV
I think that decision is not up to Matt

Super-reliable very good suv, still quite legendary. By the way, lovely dog too! 👍🐩💖
Reliable? Rly?
Nissans aren’t reliable anymore since their fusion with Renault

Well that whats expected when buying Nissan cars
Those alloy rims, are we sure those are 18 inch or rather 19" instead?
Can you test the fiat Tipo??
Hi, im planning to buy it. But not sure if i should go for 1.2 ltr petrol or 1.6 ltr petrol.
Please advice :)
LOL the way he was holding that dog!!! I love this guy he's hilarious

When are you doing Nissan sentra Sr?
Please ..pls..do a review of honda hrv..please😊😊☺
did he just... BEST INTRO EVER
hello Mat.. i am between the 1.3 160 ps Qashqai and the 1.5 petrol Countryman.. which one do you recommend?
Dog was more interesting
Marko M
Exactly.
Marko M And uglier than the car. In my opinion bulldogs or whatever it is are ugly
it's sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Thorbjørn Madsen Despite this , they're still nicer than this car ..
CM Adolf SXE I don't know about you, but i not a fan of dogs and any pets, despite i have two cats.

Can you review the Ford Kuga? You keep mention it in other reviews
No! NO! NO! Sorry
Soon :)
The issue with the kuga is ford sync and the engines seem very thirsty on paper. Other than that i don't mind their looks. Titanium trim and up as decent .
carwow thanks :)
The Qashqai and the new mazda CX5 was on my wife and i shortlist, we got the CX-5, and funny enough my father in law got the full spec Qashqai, and now after driving around in the mazda and the nissan, and hands down the mazda is a better car.
Mazda, Hyundai and Kia make way better cars than Nissan. Good choice on the CX-5.
Haven’t driven the CX-5 but it is too Damn ugly. Both inside and out.
Love my qashqai, May want to buy an sportage next time. Love the new design..
Mazda and Subaru are better choices than Nissan it seems
hm, wonder when the refreshed design will reach the US? seems like the car was introduced here not too long ago and i'm just now seeing them around town. perhaps they'd do better in sales with this more attractive look.

To be honest the negatives in this video aren't even that big of a deal just the reverse camera is a bit trash.
Good, detailed review. The dog should make an appearance in every video.
Good cars I have one myself and wouldn't buy anything else now 👍🏻👍🏻
Once you see 3008 inside, everything else becomes boring and outdated.
nemanja milosevic indeed the French have outdone the Japanese
That's absolutely true my friend. Peugeot engineers have outdone themselves..
For the money, nothing comes close to 3008 interior.
Peugeot will stay Peugeot. This is much better than peugot. Peugeot gets better thanks to the Toyota.
Untill you see the Peugeots trade-in value
is it same with Nissan X-trail in Asia market?
So they made very soft and already wobbly suspension even softer? Why?
It's called "comfort". We're not all Lewis Hamiltons.
But it was soft and comfy already. They just made it more dangerous.
No reviews on x trail?
Go more into detail on the materials pls
OMG the dog was so cute!
Have they got apple carplay yet?
I usually dont fuck with Crossovers especially Kumquats.... but this facelifted one looks pretty good
Qashquai or suzuki vitara?which would you prefer?
Qashqai Suzuki Vitara is more Dacia Duster Competitor
Hey Matt! Why is it that you don’t do any Mazda reviews???
0:17 that fart. Mat🙄😂
I'm sorry to say this, but I actually think the car looks okay? That's probably all the compliments I got tough.
please show me the indicator lights in the front of the car first in the video if they are in the wrong side of the headlights i can skip
Please review the new Duster.
How about the review of Opel/Vauxhall Grandland X?
Will You try and do a Tesla model 3 review?
We want head2head Duster vs qashqai vs kuga
Monsif Alayachi
Nobody wants that. That would be thee single biggest bore of our lives.
Yes I want as well
No kuga vs quashqai vs kadjar
Do you mean that Renault is better than its cousin the dacia duster ?!
Monsif Alayachi no that will be the next head to head to back on my other comments I can predict the head to heads
Nissan up your game guys as Kia Nero ev is really going to take a lot of sales
that dog is super cute. Love your show.
hyundai elantra sport anytime soon ?
Could you please do a real test of the Mazda CX5? Thanks!
that dog is so cute!

Nice one mate
MakeA review on a Toyota Highlander 2018
