"The original Nissan Qashqai was a groundbreaking car and the new model is even better - the new Qashqai shoots straight to the top of its class." - Авто та транспорт
As a Romanian, I'm really impressed that you got the pronunciation right for Dacia.
The car aged super well, still looks modern from the outside and inside.
This one is definitely much better than the older Qashqai, very nice design !
I Agree, It's A Lovely Car! (-:
Yes new Car Buyer vid!
This looks like so much of an improvement over the old version.
Just picked mine up, I got the basic model 2020. Its a lovely family car to drive. It roomy and loads of pockets for the kids to put their bits and pieces in. The brake it a pull up push down which is easy to use. Easy on the fuel and a pleasure to drive. Enjoy
Brilliant review of a great car!
@ Carbuyer I asume that most of us watching these videos would appreciate some information about the spare wheel!
What you might forget is that the Nissan Qashqai started the now generic
range of the crossover style and every other manufacturer copied.
I'm on my second Qashqai 2.0 litre petrol and I love it. Faults and all.
I tried all the others and none of them delivered on as many criteria.
So I have a +2.
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.

Just driven it with the 1.5dci. It drives suprisingly well on the german autobahn. I also drove it for a longer period above 100mph . There is not much wind wistle.
I don't know what your noise standards are based on (Audi A8??), but what do you expect from a four cylinder diesel car with a high body? I think the noise level is way above class standard (if you ignore slight rattle at running idle).
The only really annoying thing I noticed about the enigne is if you try to drive it up on a stee climb in first gear. The turbo lag makes it almost impossible to go slowly.
ZaferSama I also drove the 1.5 megane (coupe) with the same engine. The biggest "problem" there is the turbo lag, but you get used to it! My point is just that the engine is not noisy as such in terms of dB when you are driving along, you don't really hear it unless you become obsessed with it and listen to every combustion. I agree that the noise it actually produces is somewhat unhealthy and agricultural, especially at idle. But which 4 cylinder diesel sounds good? I don't know of any ;)?
+Johannes Stephan What lol. I have a 1.5 diesel 15 plate N-TEC+ Qashqai, and it's honestly pretty quiet lol. I don't know how people think it's actually quite loud. I've sat in BMW diesel engines and all other cars, and this car is actually quite quiet. It is slightly noisy, but once you get the car moving (10-15+mph), the road noise overtakes the engine noise. In all my time of driving this, I haven't noticed hardly any noise difference between this and my brand new Honda Civic I owned for 3 years, 2012 model (1.4 Petrol), which was actually one of the most quietest cars.
I own a 2010 model Qashqai, and if i'm honest the only reason that you would opt for this new shape is if you wanted a 2014 plate car because the previous generation Qash is just superb!
Bit like "Superdry" then Matt! I like the look of it actually, but not sure I would buy it over a golf?
It looks really good... Very appealing car...
I have top of the range model 2015 and its brilliant car with everything you need to drive.but one problem i have is the the screen unit keeps cutting off and resetting itself which is frustrating.sometimes its fine for weeks then all of sudden it reboots.
love carbuyer review beautiful car
My dads is the exact same as that
i named it Starship its so beautiful
Range topping 2014 Qashqai vs VW CC?
A nice new modern kind of 4x4
Why does the 1.6 diesel rattles like its running on gravel and 1.5 doesnt?? I am considering of buying 1.6 diesel with 130 bhp version of this car and i would appreciate an answer on this question. Thank you.
is the 1.2T underpowered as a family suv?its the only model thats affordable?
Bought this car not too long ago and its fab.
Looks good and had one of the best climate controls, heats up toasty warm real quick. The 12 seconds for 0 to 60? Who was driving? Ours does it much quicker.
The 1.5 diesel can feel slushy in 1st gear and you never quite get the right bite into second, bit it's a small glitch. The rest of the car is great and theres a diving console at the front, so if you have one of those mates whose legs always cross the gear stick - that doesn't happen here.
I like the exterior design of it, very good and dynamic for an SUV and it does not look heavy or like it´s design was taken from another DNA line and then pushed into being an SUV - That i find is the problem with many SUV´s especially the some of the upper market brands. Good Review ;)
Wow! nissan qashqai is almost perfect. Its stylish, fuel efficient, spacious, well built what more one need? one can buy this car blindfolded. You can never go wrong with this car. I wish they bring this car to india.
Qashqai or Tiguan I FL?
Both diesel 4x4.
reliable technology with good looks now!!
I've noticed that Carbuyer has changed its testing course. It is same as Autocar's and AutoExpress' courses.
@Carbuyer hope to see a review on the Honda Vezel 1.5L. Not sure whether it is launched in UK but thumbs up for all the great reviews so far!
Until it releases to the UK, which is probably unlikely or not for a long time, then Carbuyer aren't going to review it. They only review cars that are available in the UK.
+James Gordon Haha thanks for your info! I realised it was released in UK but it is also known as Honda HRV haha~~ So yeah they have a review for it hahs
No prob, man 🙂
Looks very good would consider it but have just got the old model. There seems to be more tec in the old 360 model. But this is the top of the list for our next one.
hi you used your mirrors for reserving .
My first Qashqai. Very pleased and impressed. The Tekna model is well equipped and the envy of some other motorists. Ok the large wheels can make the ride rather rough sometimes but part of this could be our pothole roads. Review very good except for the annoying sub titles.
Some of us rely on subtitles to access videos.
He forgot to mention that the powertrain is french, its the dCi engine, the Renault engine, mounted on the Dacia as well
Yasser OWEIDA And the same engine as in the mercedes A Class 1.5 dCi
The Duster is definitely not competition!
Well said. The Qashqai is definitely a classier offering.
True... I would choose this over the new duster
Will you guys also review the Suzuki s-cross soon?
Also Mitsubishi Outlander, GLA-class and Grand Picasso
thanks so much for eliminating the unbearable opening sound!
Really good looking car
Is this model still a worthy buy.
Been lookin at the newer facelift model which i can afford but will be skintin myself so thought about going for the older model but unsure what to do
Go for it, I bought this model second hand with 30k km and it's awesome
I've driven the 1.5l diesel Qashqai and I found the steering was lacking completely in feel and I was sure that Carbuyer would moan about that but to my surprise was not!? The car sadly doesn't soak up small bumps and imperfections in the road that you would think after seeing this review, and the brakes have no feel either. Well, we all have own taste, but mine is completely mine, and surely not bought by someone (not that I claim that to be the case in this review because this is no Ford, is it? ;) ). :)
Especially when comparing to moans about Citroens and lack of feel (they *do* have very good feel nowadays!), got me wondering...
Anybody here had trouble with their dpf in the diesel qashqai?been driving my 1.5dci for nearly 3 years and not had a single issue despite only having put just short of 10k on it
auto parking was mainly made for city roads because they are smaller and it helps people park their car more quicker in busy traffic
It has same feature as 2012 model ? When you drive to lights, your stearing wheel comes off.
King of crossover...
please do review of honda stream and toyota wish please
Big lover of car
Engines 1.2DIG-T, 1.5dCi and 1.6dCi made by Renault.
It's really nice car but definitely needs bigger and more powerful engines!
***** Pardon..?
get the nissan xtrail then :) it's bigger, more powerful yet looks very alike with qashqai :) but i prefer qashqai compact size though....
bimosalexandres If I'm not wrong the new X-trail has the same engines as the Qashqai which makes the situation worst because it is a lot bigger... I don't have problem with the size of the car - it is perfect, it just needs 2.0 litres engines...
As long as they keep the engines economical because the Qashqai is popular for value for money and being cheap to run
I'll raise a debate about diesel cars on the particle filter for those who essentially leads into town. What to do when said filter is not a regeneration or cleaning and clogs up the system, the car chokes and develops not have to go to the Dealer to change the filter and pay the very expensive replacement.
My friends with this I mean that whoever leads conpensa few Miles did not have diesel car, it is advisable to opt for petrol. Thank you.
THE Rouge are doesn't a Qashqai in US, it's call X-Trail in Europe and other part in the world, however, it's based on same design and Renault-Nissan's CMF platform
It's been called 'Dualis' here in Australia.
The CEO of Nissan really made a good job!!! Nissans are so much better than they have been in the '90 and ''00 years!! They make great sportcars, suv's and EV's!! In Europe they took Toyota place!!
Does it have AWD or 4WD?
Are 4WD modeles selectable 4WD??? also is it keyless go as standard???
Keyless go is only available on the higher trims, I think
Look's cool!!! Dacia Duster isn't really a competitor if you have style!!!
Didn't Toyota have the first crossover with the Rav4??
sushi &anglo saxon ,but you forgot to say that in main role are french (Renault)who give engines and they are owners of Nissan
renault got 43% of Nissan share.,and Nissan got 15% of Renault but 43% is bigger.it provides for Qashqai all engines,and that engines you can find in Dacia like 1.2 petrol or 1,5 dci.
they have engines same but not price same
They don't own Nissan at all. Its some weird Alliance Scheme (the first of its kind).
benanderson89 Renault currently has a 43.4 percent stake in Nissan, and Nissan holds a 15 percent stake in Renault.
888TopGear888 Clearly! I and two other relatives actually work for NMUK as well, so its really annoying when the Wikipedia readers come flooding in.
Roger Bingham They still do not own them. Its an ALLIANCE. Nissan is not a subsidiary of Renault. The Alliance was *NOT AN ACQUISITION OR MERGER.* I mean, jesus christ on a bicycle, it even says on Renault's own website that its a Cross-Shareholding agreement!
I can't help to think this looks better than the Rogue. Maybe it's the sharper front styling...
The rear windscreen wiper looks like it's broken and stopped half way across the screen
Is there a Hrv in uk? If there is, i would like to see the review of it
+Hariz Nurhakim There is. Our editor drove it yesterday - we'll be doing a video at some point!
+Carbuyer Ok, great. Thanks
I don't understand how this had the "what car - car of the year award" and now it only has 3 stars out of 5 by the same magazine
british engineering? the design is from Hyundai ix35 or Santa-Fe, it's build on a french platform and has a french engine....what did the british engineers do? nothing...
Maybe oil leak is engineered in Britain?
actually, kia sportage. as far as engineering goes, you are not right, the platform isn' t french at all. true, entirely french is 1,5 dci, but that engine is improved since it appeared araound 2003. 1,6 dci is colaboration of the two - chain-cam engine in nissan style and electronics and injection from renault....the rest is nissan, albeit english nissan....
The platform is called CFM and was developed in London by Nissan. Its a 100% Nissan UK platform, but under the alliance scheme Renault have access to it.
The DCi engines are co-developed by Nissan and Renault, and are the only French influence over the car. Other than some extra engineering in Spain, the Qashqai is 100% British and 100% Nissan.
The design is also not from the ix35. If you stand an old Qashqai next to a new one, you can see that Nissan have carried all the styling cues over from the old and just enhanced them. Its the new front grille design from the new Note and the slightly older Juke, its the same window shapes from the old but more aggressive, a new and rather striking set of LED daytime running lights, boomerang rear lights that Nissan have had for decades and so forth.
Consider this:
The Qashqai looks like the ix35 because the ix35 took inspiration from the Qashqai. You have to remember that the Qashqai has been around since 2007!
benanderson89
Thank you for the info :)
Definately a car to buy in this price range.
that beef and sushi references though. 😂😂😂
I Know!!!! XD
Thanx!
is 4wd or AWD or FWD.....?
oneofone you're thinking of the Nissan Murano not the Qashqai
Qasquai- first in class- the best in class.. and on my opinion this car look's better than Renault kadjar..
Firemarioflower Toyota Rav4 was out in the 90's...
Annoying how car journalist say so many different models "created the crossover class/segment" with a straight face - but I'm sure he fully knows that the CRV and RAV 4 and Kia Sportage had already been around for well over a decade. CRV was already in it's THIRD GENERATION by the time Quasqai was introduced. Those others are bigger cars, but they are 100% crossovers - if it sells more of the front wheel drive versions than four wheel drive versions and uses a passenger car platform, IT'S A CROSSOVER! After that we can talk about compact crossovers, three row crossovers, premium crossovers etc - but NO THIS NISSAN DID NOT CREATE THE CROSSOVER CLASS. Even if we disqualify CRV size vehicles, Honda also had the much smaller HRV long before the Quasqai was introduced.
Can you test to drive the Mercedes G63 AMG? That test would be funny and very nice to look at. Thanks! :)
Aren't these videos meant to be weekly!?
I actually dig it, interesting how it's developed & made on UK, with a pretty much french engine (renault dci), and japanese... logo? lol
New qashqai or used audi q3? Which option does make more sense?
Leandro Costa New Qashqai ;)
Leandro Costa Check out nissan Murano
+Leandro Costa new qashwai
+Leandro Costa New car feeling over old car feeling ANY day! Audi or no audi, doesn't matter lol
+Leandro Costa in my opinion the Qashqai has a lot of plastic inside and an incredibly weak engine. The Audi q3 is upscale,and luxurious with a powerful 2.0Turbo engine and torque. When it comes to looks and performance i would say Audi , when it comes to cheaper and new car i would say Qashqai. if the Audi does not have many miles on it, Audi q3 100%.
I just test drove a Qashqai, and if the cabin was supposed to be quiet, I don't want to know what the rivals have. It was barely OK. I wonder if they sell the car with a less quiet interior outside of UK.
In the US, they don't even sell this. We have the Nissan Rogue though
2:44 Is there no spare wheel?
How tall are you?
back in 1986 when I was training for my driving license permit, I practiced and trained for parking.....I could never believe I would get a car that would park itself ......like wiping my bottom if someone else have to do it ....I should not be driving to the first place.
looks way better than the rogue! why didn't just use this design than the one we have here?
I have QQ model 2015., 1.2 (85 kw), Start/stop system starting to work after cca. 15 - 20 minutes (urban drive) ...Very, very dissapointing...QQ does not have mode "manual wipers" (every 10 seconds), so when rain begins to fall, they do not recognice that glass is full of small rain drops, but Automatic wipers usually - do nothing, or they get started - too late. Also it is impossible to turn off Navigation Connect...If you do not need music, do not need navigation - you can not turn it off (Black screen)
nice car
In the USA its called the Nissan Rogue. No diesel.
U.S does not like engines wich are capable of 74 MPG while still producing 260NM of Torque from around 1.500 RPM
Its called Corruption or Oil Industry Lobbying
The US does not get this car. The Rouge is Europe is called the X-Trail
COME 11th APRIL 2014 I WILL HAVE THE QASHQAI 360 + 2 HOPE IT IS AS GOOD AS THEY SAY
I need to see the features of hyundai accent
ow and i just orderd the 1.6 dci 4wd tekna thinking is the best as i drive now the 2010 1.5 tekna now let just hope it dont drives like on gravel ;-(
as cost me £29.500!!! Thank you for reviev xxx
yaro26q You got stung on the price then for sure........More to the point, does it drive like on gravel?? LOL
Why does this look so much better than the Rogue we get in America?
are you gg to make a review for toyota harrier?
Toyota don't sell this car in the UK so most likely not
This car is as Japanese as the sushi you get in the UK. It has the fish and rice but it's not fresh nor authentically tasted. Either way it suits the local style. In the case of Qashqai it is exceptionally well executed. Not the same can be said with the sushi.
4:43-4:46 So many Rabbits. Actually, I guess they were all Golfs as only NA got the Mk5 rebadge.
pls review ford edge 2015 i think thats a better car0:)
Hmmm, pretty sure Subaru should be credited as inventing the SUV with the Forester!
much better looking than the US counterpart--the Rogue
This car is as English as me;)
the question is ... Are you English ?
Have a guess;)
Georges St.Pierre You're Irish ;)
This only partly truth:)
Nissan Renault. Co op ...Mine has been a disaster
is this like a european pathfinder?
beef sushi is my favorite
finally, mat is 5.11
This is how the U.S.-spec Nissan Rogue should look.
X-Trail = Rogue, and X-Trail looks like the Qashqai lol
nickolastiguan
We don't have the "X-Trail" in the States.
Sorry, I meant the X-Trial is our Rogue, Qashqai is the smaller version of the X-Trail/Rogue, which we don't have.
The only difference I can see between the X-Trail/Rogue and Qashqai is the LED DRL.
nickolastiguan l
The Duster is no competition for the Quashkai, the Yeti is.
Looks great, but I would still take Ford Kuga over it, maybe even the new RAV4.
why there's always raining?
Its UK ?
Ha ha! who doesn't store beef slices in their cars glove box?
Good review.
Really like this car but the thing that's holding me back are the underpowered engines. 110-130bhp is woeful these days. They need some better, more modern engines.
Huge issues with condensation caused by glass roof. Google Qashaqai condensation.
Know what, I used to love this car, but then the Engine had a breakdown on its own, so I had to buy a whole new engine. Though I messaged Nissan places all around Europe, no one actually helped. Pretty disappointing for someone who actually loved Nissan. Would still get a GTR if I could afford it.
