Excellent aesthetics both interior and exterior with good practicality but this vehicle really lacks power. The massaging seats are a bit of a let down but the large moonroof and HUD are positive points. I test drove the Ti model which is top of the line. For 50-55k I want at least a punchy engine, not just a 110kw.
Small tip on suspension: the showroom/test cars usually have the back wheels filled to 33psi. If you’re driving with no back passengers, the recommended is 31psi. There’s a noticeable difference in ride comfort.
Extremely underpowered, $3k-5k overpriced across the board, tilt forward back seats causing lack of leg support, missing out mild hybrid system which is standard overseas, torsion beam rear suspension while multi link setup available overseas, no AWD option... Otherwise great looking exterior and interior design. Typical Nissan Australia tho...
The rear seats in the Qashqai are without a doubt the most uncomfortable I've ever experienced in any car. It's absolutely horrible for what's supposed to be a family car, hard, stiff, flat, the bottom is almost horizontal without any leg support, and the backrest is almost vertical and totally flat, without any side support. You're all over the place in the car when it's driving on top of being uncomfortable.
Put your phone and keys on the little rubber mat? Um, not together I’d hope. But anyway, your keys should never be anywhere but in your pocket (or in the ignition if it’s that sort of car). Pretty sure that’s a Crossover rather than an SUV.

Plastic steering wheel is a total deal breaker for me.
I thought this lady did a great job on this review. Some of the reviewers are very annoying. Sounds like a decent car albeit a touch overpriced?
$43k toyota corolla cross gxl got the worst and cheapest interior and suspension system compared to its competitors.
Understandable as Toyotas are mediocre at best.
For less money you can get a more powerful, faster, better handling, longer lasting, better looking Honda ZRV 1.5 turbo.

Sensational presentation of this Nissan Qashqai St+, beautiful.
For similar money you can buy skoda karoq or kamiq which is much better car! I think this Nissan has the same engine as Renault Captur.
The Karoq and Kamiq do make for good and reliable cars
You should review the Audi A7/S7/RS7 or Toyota 86/BRZ?
3:02 is a deal breaker for me
Likewise. Even budget cars like a Suzuki Swift come standard with a leather steering wheel these days.
No. The back seat is a fail for adult comfort. Disappointing.
They are nice cars, but expensive in NZD. Start at $46,000 for ST, ST+ $48k through to $65,000 for e-power.
We don't even have empower bought st l for 48.
No mention of the paddle shifters?
lol must be really bad if she will take gladwrap over the current material
I really would.
