NEW Nissan Qashqai Facelift | FIRST DRIVE REVIEW | Styling, Tech, Pricing

Since 2006, the Nissan Qashqai has been a popular choice in the crossover segment. With a focus on styling, technology, and efficient powertrains, Qashqai has sold over 4 million vehicles in the last 17 (or so) years.
This latest update to the 3rd generation Qashqai further enhances that focus on styling and technology, notably in the form of bold styling and upgraded connectivity. Nissan's e-POWER powertrain remains at the forefront of the driving experience.
For this video I went to Portugal to test drive the facelifted Nissan Qashqai to see exactly how the changes influenced the driving experience, and whether the Qashqai is still the segment leader with many competitors arriving on the scene.
I hope you enjoy this video, and if you haven't already seen my Walkaround video then you can see that here: • NEW Nissan Qashqai Fac...

Would you buy the new Nissan Qashqai?

[@RobBurlinsonMusic]

I build them. They do indeed have choice of sunroof on the higher specs.

[@Naveed4Speed]

Hey that's awesome! The Sunderland facility looks incredible.
Do you know if the glass roof is an option or standard? The Tekna that I had didn't have the sunroof (neither did the N-Design) but I saw one with a glass roof that might have been a Tekna+

[@RobBurlinsonMusic]

​@Naveed4Speed it goes on choice from the customer order but all can have a sunroof if ordered on the spec.

​@@Naveed4Speed they scrapped the cheapest entry level so all come with the infotainment system etc.

[@Naveed4Speed]

Yes I've noticed. I'm rather pleased with the pricing too. It will be a popular car and we shall see many on the road soon.

Thank you for building them, and thank you for sharing the vid

I have a Tekna ePOWER on order (was the old version when I ordered it, with the dark blue touches on the trim). Now that's been changed and I'll get the new facelift version, with the brown trim. I am not sure I am sold on that yet .. I don't know why they've gone with a Brown colour, or as Nissan call it 'Burnt Umber' - Having said that, in your video it doesn't look too bad (compared to a really deep vile brown I saw somewhere else). What do you think of it, does it look subtle and OK to you or does it look, I dunno, tacky and a flashback to the car interiors of the 1980's!
Great video incidentally and I'm looking forward to getting mine (hopefully sometime next month).

Hey, congrats on the incoming new car!
The car that I'm driving is the Tekna with the brown interior and initially I had my reservations but when I saw it in the flesh I actually really like it. The brown interior is rather subtle and sometimes doesn't even look brown. Note, I haven't messed around with the colour of the video so what you see if what you get.
Thanks for watching the video and if you have any more questions do let me know. What exterior colour are you going for?

[@nigelp4795]

@@Naveed4Speed Thank you - I am looking forward to it, I loved the ePOWER when I took one for a test drive several months ago, handled well, smooth, refined, comfortable and a pleasure to drive. If the brown colour is like it is in your video, then that's OK, it will grow on me - my heart just sank initially when I saw they've scrapped the blue and changed to brown, especially as the exterior I've gone for is the Magnetic Blue. Fingers crossed! Really enjoyed your video and have a new subscriber :)

[@Naveed4Speed]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it. My next video will be on the Nissan Ariya if you're interested in that too. It comes with e-4ORCE which isn't in the Qashqai, but I do agree with the e-POWER as it is really smooth.
The Magnetic Blue is an iconic Qashqai colour so you can't go wrong there! I'd love to see what you think when you get yours!
Thank you

Hope its delivered with the steering wheel on the correct side and you don't have to collect it from Lisbon .

[@Naveed4Speed]

@ellisrochlin2267 this was a first drive opportunity on some early vehicles. They will for sure be delivered with the steering wheel on the correct side but collecting it from Lisbon wouldn't be all that bad 😁

[@Midas_massages]

Good car

[@Naveed4Speed]

I'm sure this one will be popular

[@ianhately9117]

Looks like a Kia Sportage

[@Naveed4Speed]

I thought it looks a little like the Hyundai Tuscon
