Goodness, This review is THE best review i’ve seen among all the reviews on this vehicle. And ive seen all of them. If i were to sell this SUV i would send them this video. Very thorough and smart without trying to be funny or clever.Thank you and Well done sir.👍🏼👍🏼
I like the way Nissan are going with their styling, and the interiors now, are a different league. I found the Nissans I drove in the past, felt cheap and plastically (this also goes for the Infiniti brand), so its good to see them sorting them issues out. Will they bring out a sporty version? cheers.
It is a 1300 4-cylinder 16-valve engine. I think you said it was a 3 cylinder. I think you were referring to the new E power. That is a 1500 3-cylinder engine, to power the electric drivetrain. Sorry to be such a nerd.
I am hoping to get my new model tekna 158ps 4WD with front fog light package at the end of this month. I chose the white Pearl/black Pearl colour with the grey interior. Been waiting since October, fingers crossed.
Great review Guys! Have to admit the new Qashqai is a great looking car especially in this shade of blue! We have a a new one in the street in the primer grey colour and it's a great looking car. I think Nissan have another winner on their hands with this, it's reinvented the qashqai all over again.
Great car. Thanks for the vlog. Hired this with Enterprise so good it was the Automatic. Unfortunately it has spoilt me and drawn me towards Hybrids. So good. Thanks again guys
I like the style of your video. But not that you make 2 errors in the first minute and a half. Like other said, it is a four cilynder engine. Also, the engines are 138ps and 158 ps, advertised as 140 and 160....
Getting mine just like this one next tuesday (jan/2024). Great review! Mine has the Skyline wich is perfect for our Portuguese nice weather all year round.
I really love QQs. Nissans in general. I’ve owned four. 2 Jukes. 2 QQs. I’ve owned the prior version QQ Tekna+ in Vivd Blue. But I have to say. I preferred the prior versions looks. There’s something about this one, the headlight set-up and rear hunch quarter, that just cannot sit well with me. But overall it is a lovely car. And I’m considering it. I’m in a Ford Puma now. And after five months. Downsizing was the worst decision I ever made. Despite loving the Pumas driving dynamic. Going back to NIssan.
Interesting, the majority prefer the newer looks, especially with Juke, they are really great vehicles, we know a few who have done similar and invariably had to upsize. We’ve not driven the Puma, however we have driven similar size VWG models and the agility and driving experience is far more dynamic especially for an SUV, enjoy your new Nissan and thank you.
My wife is disabled and takes advantage of the Motability scheme. This will be our new car in late November/early December, it will also be our 4th Qashqai. We will have the auto gearbox as it's much easy for my wife as she has osteoarthritis. Has anything changed for 2023 models do you know? Loved the review, a straightforward no nonsense approach and said as you found it. In fact, I enjoyed so much you have a new sub! Thanks for your views, Nissan of course give it the sales pitch, so it's always nice to have an unbiased opinion such as this.
Love your style of reviews. Have you thought of reviewing the epower variant. There’s a lot to talk about and your honest opinion would be really welcome.
Maybe revisit your review. My Nissan dealer says the manual gearbox version DOES charge the (tiny) battery on deceleration - providing in gear (not in braking neutral). That's where CVT version is more efficient as essentially always in gear). Shame no full hybrid equivalent of new Juke (instead of inefficient e-Power implementation).
The Nissan video explaining MHEV says differently it lists automatic for all features - they may have uprated it, after all this is 2 years old and it had been released a while when we received it. PS why would anyone in their right mind brake in a manual whilst in neutral, ludicrous.
Meant braking on clutch i.e. gear disengaged, not neutral. Will have to check with another dealer. If only charged battery off engine, then wouldn't see much fuel saving. Only 4g CO2 saving & 6Nm extra torque on MHEV.

Thank you for your kind words, Sean! Please share the love! *A
What is it with your camera? The qashqai looks so tiny when you are walking around it.
Do you mean in relation to my height? We use a 10-12mm wide angle lens and have just upgraded to the Canon R6
@@PlanetautoUK I don't know. It just looks like the size of a nissan micra or a Renault Clio.
The cars 5.2 ft and I’m 6.3 tall, you’re the only person ever to comment this in 5,000,000 + views from this lens 😆

Really nice to have a practical review, rather than the normal glossy picture.
Thank you Gordon

Thank you Steve, yes you’re correct - well spotted - explains no vibration 😆 we’ll sort that

Thank you Davy, yes we were thoroughly impressed, and we think you’re spot on with reinventing.

Thank you for the kind words Wayne, we’ll double check with Nissan especially for things that could affect mobility.
Very good detailed review. Also the way it was presented👌🏾
Thank you Ryan for the kind words
Love your style of reviews. Have you thought of reviewing the epower variant. There’s a lot to talk about and your honest opinion would be really welcome.
Thank you Carl for the kind words - we have a Juke Hybrid booked in and we hope to follow up with an ePower Qashqai or XTrail soon.
Those shopping bag hooks were referred to as curry hooks at the factory, so you don't spill your curry on the way home ;)
We didn't know that! Thanks, Rob (hmmm, I want curry now, lol) *A
Good review,will you be doing a review of the new kia sportage?curious on the comparisons between qashqai/sportage.
We will indeed, EV6 first though, thank you Ken
What colour is this ? Magnetic blue pearl black roof ?
Yes, that’s it
Hi! I ask. Which is best 2WD or the 4WD Nissan Tekna?
Good question, the 2WD is impressive, the 4 not driven it yet, apologies Al, however the Navara has a good off-road system and capabilities.

Oh that makes more sense, keep us posted, if I remember correctly it said about the auto in the UK press pack referring hybridity.
Love Arnside 😊
