A comfortable & reliable all rounded SUV/Crossover with ample performance & acceptable fuel consumption. Its all you need. Nissan has set the standard for the rest to live up to.
He's spot on about the 1.2 petrol, great around town and it DOES happily cruise at 85 on the motorway (allegedly ;) but acceleration above 50 is not great and fuel consumption over 75 plummets to low 30's MPG. However, apart from that the upper trim level ones are amazing technology even for 6 years ago. My other car is a high end sports job but very, very impressed with this as a runaround.
I've just test drove a Tekna DCI 1.5 110bhp and 1.6 130bhp and the 1.6 seemed quieter to me, yet he says 1.6 is noisier.... oh well. I opted for the 1.6 as at speed it had enough power to overtake without having to drop 2 gears as i did in the 1.5. At lower speed the 1.5 was quick enough but I felt that it struggled top end. Mind you, my previous car was 160bhp insignia, so if you're changing from a less powerful car the 110bhp 1.5 will probably suit just fine.
Their diesel cars are anything but quiet. I have owned the new Qashqai for one year now, it's the popular 1.5 diesel engine. It is the most noise producing engine I have ever driven - in five years of motoring. It sounds so agricultural in all revs (both high end and low end) and very very clattery around town, sounding like an old bus! And the wind-whistle is horrendous. I agree it has a very classy interior, loads of space, very practical, feels safe on the road and looks amazing. At motorway speeds it's a brilliant cruiser and very economical. But alas I think the hype around this vehicle cannot be met in real world situations. And after a year of ownership (from new showroom delivery) and driven sensibly and well looked after, I feel qualified to share a more balanced view :-) Also the car has had MANY electrical failures and has been into the dealerships for safety repairs on average once every two months for the year I've owned it. And Nissan Customer Service is shocking at best. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic car. But like many others, it's got it's flaws. And the awful engine noise for me was a deal breaker. I'm selling it on after a year and getting something else.
the 1.5 diesels premier is superb very good on fuel and very well built, regardless of what this person is stating just buy one 2014 model and you will love it
I have that previous version 2L petrol Cvt tekna, and 3 only things that i feel to be better are Steering ( at highway speeds its quite num ), it is not silent as from road noise ( wheels, well finlands roads are made bit bigger pebble ( euro area 6 to 8mm stone, in finland 16mm stone in tarmac ..) and engine well it does drink petrol bit too much 9.5l/100 in city area even i try to be as gentle as i can with throttle )).... but i still like it :-).
I bought a new 1.5 dCi Qashqai in September 15 and I regret that I did. Since day 1 the Stop/Start system has failed to work and the dealer is unable to fix it as it requires a software patch from Nissan. There is no indication as to when this software fix will become available - the dealer has been unable to get any date from Nissan. Meanwhile, every time I turn on the ignition I get a "Stop/Start System Fault" display on the dashboard and, of course, I cannot avail of the fuel saving facility that it is designed to provide. I have checked with other Nissan dealers and they all confirm that the Stop/Start problem is very common with the new model Qashqais. My advice is to avoid the Nissan Qashqai as the chances are you too will experience this fault.
My 2015 Nissan Qashqai nTec+ has had an ongoing issue with a rattle noise from the glove box area which the dealership can't seem to cure. The dealership has replaced the door card, but its still there. Plus the front passenger suspension had a clunking noise which required three days at the dealership. Oh the front parking sensors seem to have a life of their own at times. Not good
Ok car but the steering has the least feel I've ever experienced in any car. Testdrive it yourself though, because maybe you like it as it is, you never know. Don't trust the reviews only!
Nissan never again to many unsolved problems and to many excuses from dealers. To many days without the car. To many noises. To much expensive repairs in a few miles car.
My review of my 2014 Qashqai Parking sensor problems , chassis control breakdown ,stop start works intermittently The car has been in for correction four time and at 2000 miles it is still unfixed Nissan Technical do not know what they are doing and Nissan Customer care don't give a fig Broke down completely at 1750 miles ...
I dont think so, nissan is also a japanese and reliable brand. not to mention the fact that Qashqai has much better design,so.. I defenitely go for Qashqai by Nissan :)

Am buying the Tekna from a friend later this year, looking forward to it as my first car.
That's a good all round review. This reviewer is pretty close to Matt Watson!

I visited the dealer, I am a taller person and the central console was very annoying for my knee, I wasn't able to avoid the contact with it!!

How reliable are these cars?
My 2015 Nissan Qashqai nTec+ has had an ongoing issue with a rattle noise from the glove box area which the dealership can't seem to cure.

Passenger side steering wheel?
This is our current car!
Ok car but the steering has the least feel I've ever experienced in any car. Testdrive it yourself though, because maybe you like it as it is, you never know. Don't trust the reviews only!
Does anyone have a 1.2 petrol Nissan qashqai and if so what is your opinion on the car?
Drives very well, it's quick enough but clutch died at 47k kms.
Buying any car is luck..for one person it may be giving he/she fault And for you it may never give you any problems
New qashqai or used audi q3? Which option does make more sense?
new qashqai.Not take used...in few years you will have an old car.
Go For only 1.5 dCi 110 N-tec 2WD
