Nissan?s big-selling, mid-sized SUV gets a few choice changes in the latest iteration ? though nothing that would scare a current Qashqai buyer, of which there have been some four million since the first one appeared in 2007. So, this is bigger news than it might appear. The Qashqai is designed and built in Britain too, remember. Space and practicality are both good ? Qashqai's were always a very Goldilocks proposition for a lot of family transport in terms of exterior size vs usefulness ? and it?s well-priced. Ok, so the good news is that you can?t mistake the new Qashqai for the old unless you squint. It does look decently different, though the overall proportions are obviously the same, a mid-sized SUV with a fairly amorphous profile. The grille has expanded into a giant squished hexagon ? plated in scales that are inspired by Samurai armour, don?tcha know ? the edges of which now stretch right out to the sides of the car. Below are re-profiled bumpers, above are LED headlights and slim daylight running lights. At the back there?s the same vibe, with slimmer rear lights that present as monochrome when dormant ? and clearer and crisper when on ? with a deeper red for the brake lights. Again, the rear bumper gets a massage, and there are new designs for the alloys. The new Qashqai is? well, great! The changes Nissan has made have improved it, although well within recognition. It?s practical and useful, comfortable enough and will get down a road with the minimum of fuss. There are a variety of specifications available to suit everyone's needs from a base model Acenta which is still packed with great tech, all the way up to a Tekna and Tekna+ models which include more refinement of the interior. The N-Connecta spec is the choice of most people. It has a good level of trim and specification including Rear Camera, Satellite Navigation and Apple/Android Car Play. The Qashqai will be here for a long time and we're very pleased about that!
