Practicality, Performance & Technology
Family buyers in Northern Ireland will appreciate the Nissan Qashqai’s thoughtful practicality. Rear doors open to 85 degrees, making car seat fitting easy, while a reversible, wipe-clean boot floor is ideal for beach trips or outdoor adventures. The raised driving position offers excellent visibility, with plenty of seat and steering wheel adjustment for comfort.
Cabin storage is well judged, with door pockets, a glovebox, cup holders, a deep centre cubby and a phone shelf that doubles as a wireless charging pad on higher trims. The boot is generous at 504 litres, expanding to 1,600 litres with the rear seats folded. A split-level boot floor adds underfloor storage and houses the Bose subwoofer on models fitted with the premium sound system.
Rear seat space is ample, with Isofix points, USB-C ports, and good head and legroom for most passengers. Fuel efficiency is strong, especially with the e-POWER hybrid system, which offers a claimed 54mpg. Petrol options include 140hp and 160hp engines, returning up to 44.8mpg (or 40.9mpg for 4x4 models).
The e-POWER model delivers smooth, electric-style acceleration from its 187bhp hybrid setup, reaching 0–62mph in 7.9 seconds. Petrol hybrid versions are slightly slower but still refined and comfortable. Light steering, a tight turning circle and compliant suspension make the Qashqai easy to drive on town roads or long motorway journeys.
Inside, the cabin feels modern and durable, with high-quality materials, Alcantara trim and an intuitive layout. Every Qashqai features a crisp 12.3-inch touchscreen, while higher trims benefit from Google-powered infotainment with built-in Google Maps. Physical climate controls remain for ease of use, and parking is simplified with the 3D Around View Monitor and Invisible Hood View.
