The Nissan Qashqai has won quite possibly the most coveted award from Auto Express 2018. Titled as
‘Auto Express Car of the Past 30 years’ , praise doesn’t come much higher than this.
Launched in 2008, the Nissan Qashqai kicked off the crossover craze and is the soul reason why the
shape
is so popular today. There’s little wonder that the Nissan Qashqai was the best-selling crossover in
the
UK throughout 2018, and the 4th best-selling car overall.
The Qashqai leads the way by continuing to fine-tune and improve its modern styling and premium
technology to make city driving an enjoyable experience.
Your new Nissan Qashqai is sure to turn heads, holding onto all of its charm, but with a more premium and
sporty look, distinctive V-motion grille and bumper and signature muscular body with a redesigned
bonnet. Redesigned 19” diamond-cut alloy wheels available on Tekna and Tekna+ models give the latest
Qashqai an even bolder presence.
The new Qashqai is also available in two brand new exclusive colours, Chestnut Bronze and Vivid Blue.

The Qashqai’s improved quality interior promises a luxurious and relaxed drive – a choice of premium
cloth in a variety of colours; or, for the top spec models soft Nappa leather seats with four-way lumbar
support and 3D quilting onto the centre panels are available. The interior includes a high-quality
finish on all the materials used, including a leather gear lever and a new sporty D shaped steering
wheel, improving comfort and space for the driver. Boot space is an impressive 430 litres with the seats
up and 860 litres with the seats folded flat – no more worrying about what might have to be left
behind.
The NissanConnect infotainment system comes as standard on the Qashqai, with a new and redesigned
interface, comprising of a 7” anti-glare screen and DAB digital radio with satellite navigation. Music
lovers can opt for the premium 8 speaker Bose sound-system on the higher specification Tekna and Tekna+
for an incredible audio experience.
Connecting your smart phone with the Qashqai has never been easier, and now you can access your social
media feeds and other apps whilst stationary with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The panoramic glass roof brings the outside in, making the cabin a bright and pleasant space to be in. If
needs be, the electronic one touch sun-shade can cover the roof in moments, which is helpful to block
out any bright glare from the sun.
Changes to the steering and suspension have been made to improve the comfort and overall ride in the
Qashqai, even the engine choices have undergone something of an overhaul. You can now specify your
Nissan Qashqai with the brand new 1.3 litre petrol engine in either a 140PS or 160PS variant. The
popular 1.5 litre 115PS diesel is still available for an impressive WLTP combined figure of 51.9mpg.
The technology doesn’t stop there, either. Nissan have included a host of intelligent driver assistance
systems, to make your drive as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Driving Technology
Not only has the Qashqai updated many features on the latest model, but there are also some brand-new
driving aids to ensure you are safe and secure on the roads. Trace control adjusts the brake pressure on
individual wheels to ensure optimal lines when turning, while ride control applies subtle braking when
needed to avoid unpleasant upper body movement over bumps in the road for the driver and passengers.
There is also an all-wheel drivetrain with the Tekna+ which is able to detect any wheel slip and
instantly apply torque accordingly, perfect for when you take your Qashqai a little further afield than
the city.
