Overall Average Rating: 85.13%
Position in the Top 100 cars: 56th

While 23rd overall for comfort and 36th in the running costs category are decent positions, Nissan’s neatly styled soft-roader is far from the finished article.

The Sunderland-built machine has been a big hit for its maker, but 90th in the performance ranks and 86th for build quality suggest that Nissan needs to make the Qashqai more fun, and a lot more robust.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position: 26th)

No change for Nissan, which is 26th for the second year running. Given how many SUVs it builds, a mid-table running costs result is superb. But it needs to improve in all areas to shift up the chart.

59-reg Diesel, Owner for Less than a year

This is my first Nissan of this type and after getting used to the seating position and using the engine on the tubo right it has been a good car. It is practical for my work and suitable for my family even though my 4 year old daughters legs struggle with the height when getting in. The mpg rate has gone up since I had it by 5 - 6 mpg which I am impressed with. I am disapointed with the number of cubby holes and the water jet resivor could have been bigger 2.5 Ltrs if no good in poor weather. Overall a good car but I feel it would be better with a bigger engine but maybe thats just me. Good job Nissan 4 out of 5 overal. Maybe I can have a 370Z next time though !!

57-reg Diesel, Owner for 1 to 3 years

My car has been almost everything I expected and has proved econcomical, practical and comfortable. The selectable 4 wheel drive has also been of great benefit. Any minor problems (rear dampers) have been quickly repaired under warranty and servicing costs have been reasonable from main dealer. Sound insulation could be improved - maybe facelift model answers this.

My car suits my needs as a disabled driver more than any other i have owned or leased in over 27yrs.
The only thing i have had to replace was a NSF tyre due to a puncture.
Simply put you can't beat owning a Nissan Qashqai Visia 2.0l CVT

being disabled, entrance and exit from car absolutely superb, even when parked at kerb side, dual heating and air conditioning an excellent idea. Hands free telephone through radio system very good. Up to press, it is the best car we have had for parking, driving and comfort.

Very comfortable, especially on a long journey. Much more economical than expected from its CO2 emission rating. I would much prefer to have a flat floor to the tail-gate (as in an estate).
The car is too wide externally.
