Nissan Qashqai

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.
