Driving Experience
Engine Performance: The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 115 horsepower is peppy for everyday driving. While it won't deliver sports car levels of excitement, it has enough grunt for overtaking and city driving. The turbocharger provides a responsive feel, making acceleration smooth and relatively quick when you need it. The manual transmission offers a traditional, engaging driving experience, though some might find the gear shifts a little notchy.
Handling & Comfort: As a compact SUV, the Qashqai strikes a good balance between comfort and handling. The suspension is tuned for comfort, so you'll experience a smooth ride on most surfaces, even on rough roads. It's not as sporty or sharp as a hatchback, but it handles corners well without feeling too soft. The steering is light and responsive, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces and around town.
Driving Dynamics: The front-wheel drive (2WD) layout means that the car is relatively light and efficient in terms of fuel economy, but it won't offer the same off-road capability as all-wheel drive models. The Qashqai remains stable and confident on motorways and highways, providing a quiet and composed ride. It's well-suited for long-distance cruising.
Manual Gearbox: The 6-speed manual gearbox is reasonably easy to use. It's not the quickest or smoothest manual around, but it gets the job done. Drivers who enjoy engaging with the car will appreciate the direct interaction with the gearbox, though others might prefer the ease of an automatic transmission.
