The Nissan Qashqai is one of the best-selling SUVs. The Qashqai is one of the most popular SUVs, and it remains one of the best. While some rivals are a bit sportier or a touch more practical, the Qashqai scores well every area. Nissan has a good reliability record as a brand, and consistently finishes near the top of various reliability and owner satisfaction surveys. Owners of the current Qashqai that have posted reviews on Auto Trader are generally happy with their car, too. Even though it?s been around for a few years, the current Qashqai is available with a range of cutting-edge safety features. Every version has a full complement of airbags, Isofix mountings and electronic driver aids, and all but the cheapest versions come with Nissan?s Smart Vision Pack, which includes a traffic sign recognition system, automatic emergency braking and a lane departure warning system. Higher-spec cars have a blind-spot warning system, while those at the top of the range feature intelligent cruise control and a system that uses the brakes to guide you back on track if you start to veer out of your lane on the motorway. The Qashqai received a five-star rating when tested by Euro NCAP in 2014, it remains a safe way for you and your family to travel. While some SUVs have a sportier character, the Qashqai is unashamedly family and comfort-oriented, and that?s no bad thing. As well as the raised seating position that SUV fans love, the Qashqai has supportive seats front and back and there?s sufficient adjustment that just about anyone can get comfortable behind the wheel. The boot is large and well-shaped, and it has clever features such as a movable floor that gives you a perfectly flat load area when the rear seat back seats are folded. These are standard on all trims except the entry-level model. Rivals such as the Peugeot 3008 and Seat Ateca provide more outright space, but no-one?s likely to feel short-changed by the amount you get in the Qashqai. The interior looks and feels good too, even if newer rivals have a more of-the-moment appearance. The dashboard is pleasantly simple and the touch-screen that features on most models is easy enough to use, if not as large or responsive as the best-in-class. Ride comfort is a strength for all models, with suspension that smooths out most bumps well. Again, some SUVs are sportier and more fun, but the Qashqai feels reassuringly solid and assured on the road. Pearl - Storm white, £24,722
