There have been three generations of Nissan Qashqai. All are five-seat SUVs – there’s no seven-seater Qashqai any more, but the Nissan X-Trail does offer a third row of seats if you’re one of the designated drivers for your child’s sports team.
Whether you want petrol or diesel, two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, or a manual or automatic gearbox, the Qashqai is a stylish but unpretentious choice that’ll slot as easily into your lifestyle as it does into parking spaces. An extensive facelift in 2017 introduced some welcome improvements too.
Then, in 2021, a new Qashqai was launched. Marked out by its boomerang-shaped headlights, the latest iteration doesn’t do anything drastically different but does come with a thoroughly updated interior and hybrid options.
