Nissan Qashqai facelift spied

03rd December 2009

Say hello to Nissans next Qashqai. The award winning SUV crossover has been a huge success story since it was first unveiled back in 2007 and now, three years on, the updated version is almost ready to reveal itself.

Spotted carrying out some final tests by our team of spies, these exclusive shots show an almost undisguised version of the Nissan. And it looks like the Japanese manufacturer has made plenty of changes. Despite most of the front grille being masked in black tape it appears the 2011 car will receive a completely new front facia plus there have been modifications to both the rear bumper and taillights.

Although we haven’t managed to get a good look inside yet from the little we have seen it certainly appears that the Qashqai has matured, getting a much more modern and stylish finish.

Engine details are also still to be confirmed, but like the rest of the brand we expect the latest Qashqai line-up to be more environmentally aware than its predecessor across the boards.

Look out for the re-designed model in UK in around July of next year.
