I have lived with my Nissan Qashqai Tekna+ for just over a year now. I can honestly say it has been a real joy. I have done over 12,000 miles and everyone of those miles have been comfortable and enjoyable. I have never felt it wanting on power and performance. My best return on MPG was 51. That was on a 40 mile journey. Obviously, if you have a heavy right foot, can expect an average of around 40 mpg, perhaps even lower around town. I think that is the same with all ICE petrol cars. When it comes to motorway driving, just set the pro pilot and relax. The Qashqai really looks after you. I have the 20 inch alloys and the multi link suspension. The only time it gets a little fidgety is when you are going slow over a particularly rough surface. However, it is never uncomfortable. When it comes to handling, it is very poised and a great deal of fun on twisty roads. I keep the weight of my steering in sport mode, rather than Auto. It gives just enough weight and feel, and unless you are very feeble, it is perfectly adequate even around town. Even after a year of reasonable use. Everything still looks fresh and new. I imagine after a good valet, it would look brand-new. Because of the 360 cameras. The chances of curbing the 20in wheels is very slim. I have found the cameras invaluable and wondered how I got on without them in the past. Although it is quite a big car, it doesn’t feel it, when it comes to finding parking spaces it can fit into. So in conclusion, is it worth the money? Considering what you get, especially in the Tekna+ Specification. Yes it is, compared to its premium rivals, that will charge you an arm and a leg for all the options the Tekna+ has, on top of its initial purchase price, which undoubtedly will be higher in the first place. Also it is as close as an all British car, as you can buy these days. Yes, it is a Japanese company. But the Qashqai was designed, developed and built in the UK. It really is a very solid unit. Nothing has come loose, so still no squeaks or rattles. Everything, including the technology has worked flawlessly for me. I am 65 and have had many cars, even premium makes. I can honestly say, my Qashqai Is by far the best I have ever owned.
Great review Dave, one of the best I have seen - I am about to pickup my new 2022 Qashqai in New Zealand near the end of October - The Qashqai's for Oceania are made in Japan, I am getting what is marketed here as the ST-L version, mid range - Have to say reviews like your have helped me in my decision, although having owned a 2019 2nd generation Qashqai that I was very happy with, I hope I don't expect too much - The improved technology is something I am looking forward too -
I guess the 19" wheels would have mellowed the comfort experience (as they did for me). One part I was missing in the review was the wind-screen diplay functions (which are awsome: Speed Signs, Calls, Music, Navigation directives, ProPilot state) especially along with ProPilot functions: Really impressed me. But ... really... greate review! Keep on.
hello my name is george b (athens-GR)..I am really happy watching your video ,your nissan experience ..i have the first gen (o8/2007) 140hp 4x4..after 17 years i must say that i definitely love my car ..no problems ..even when i had to puss its limits it was just perfect ..on the other hand i decided to sell it..i have order the new one n-connecta 157 4x4 mlid hyrid..i will have to wait tiil july 24 ..they told me that the car will be different ,in the way it looks now..i have done a test drive but still i cant say nothing till i got mine..another engine ,new electronic systems..your opinios really makes me think positive..thank you very much..😊
Thank you very much Ken for your comment. The reason we sometimes review mid-spec cars is due to the manufacturers choice on fleet or the reviews choice as we try and find the sweet spot for viewers.
A really excellent clear review covering all areas of the car. I have just received leasing quotes and am ordering an N Connecta in Ceramic with Xtronic and glass roof tomorrow. Liked and subscribed. Can’t wait for September.
I recently had a test drive in this new Tekna+, and currently have a 16 plate Qashqai Tekna. I think the way Nissan have changed things up in this version works for me, especially the HUD. I feel very lucky to be able to afford one and plan on getting the front of the car wrapped in paint protection film (PPF). Where I live the rural roads are terrible for stone chips and the paint on the front of my 16 plate Qashqai is very thin and show the battle scars. My previous cars (the last one listed first) were a 65 plate Fiesta S, Toyota iQ and an automatic 2.0 petrol Mondeo, thirsty. My days of being able to climb into a 'car' set low down are gone, at least without some pain, the very reason I bought our first Qashqai. Great video Dave, first one of yours I watched, and subscribed.
@@attilab.2818 Well, that would be for you to decide. I think if I had the NX 300h I wouldn't get another type of car. When you like something, you like it, why change. That's why I stuck with what I know is what I like. I looked into the Lexus because I wanted a better car than the J11 (2016 version) Qashqai. However, as the increase in tech and quality caught my attention in the new Qashqai (apparently Mercedes helped out on that score), I just wanted one. It's familiar to me, it had most of what I was looking for in a car, for that money. The new NX 300h is better than the last one, as you would expect, but I couldn't afford a new one so I spent little time looking at it. Each car is Japanese, so reliability, they build great quality into their cars, now more than ever which is why I chose the Qashqai. Take a look at the kit list for the Tekna+, see what is different between the Lexus and the Nissan, aside from price. You might be surprised.
Good review. We have just ordered the Tekna ePower version. Very nice to drive. Along with all the other technology it has a 360° camera. Brilliant aid to tight parking spaces. Can't wait until it arrives. 🙂🙂👍👍
We looked at the sportage , kuga, tucson and tiguan before deciding on the qashqai - have just ordered a tekna e-power in ceramic grey with black roof, delivery around September I hope. Great review btw.
I ordered the Tekna based on this. I thought the car was perfect after a test drive, the kit inside is incredible. The VED goes up from £165 to £650 for the Tekna+, was not bothered about the sound system but the massaging seat was tempting ! Thanks Dave !
I’m on my 3rd Qashqai…..I’ve had all the Exec cars over the years, now grown out of those, these Qashqai cars are just brilliant and great value for money on 3 year lease plan low deposit, low monthly payments. I’m going to trade my Mk 2 N-Connecta for a new 2023 Mk 3 Tekna. Ps I wouldn’t recommend a diesel/manual, I found petrol/auto are the very very best model to go for ❤😊
Thanks for a really good review. I am thinking of getting the mild hybrid 2022 version on a private leasing option for 36 months. The only worry I got was that you mentioned the steering is a bit sensitive, but maybe that´s not a big problem once you get used to it.
Point on review...after a Passat B8, C Class with Airmatic and Seat Leon with DCC, I think the suspension/comfort is better on the Nissan...not as good as some, but still really good...especially compared to the C Class we had with Air suspension, which really have been a dud...or the über hard Passat.. or the loud and rattling DCC of the Leon. I absolutely enjoy the relaxed drive of the Qashqai every day. Also the interior is great...not Audi quality but less teutonic and sober as some vw group rivals, and just a friendly relaxing place. The use of physical buttons for e.g. the climate control is a huge plus point compared to other rivals.
Now you have to do a review for the Sportage! I would love to see the comparison to this. Great review mate. Quick question does the glass roof open? I thought the tekna plus has a opening roof. Or am I mistaken!
Love your review Bear, you are patient and very informative. I was looking into the Corolla Cross gas+hybrid model but will check this out when it comes to my city (not in U.K.)
I went to my local Nissan dealer a few weeks ago and they said the old model will continue to 2023. Sad to not be able to see and drive this in person here. Perhaps in 2024? The Cross is going to destroy Nissan and Honda even with their new HRV which is larger than your version and has only 159 hp. Its built on the Civic platform and heavier.
I have just ordered the new Nissan Qashqai Tekna +, with the new 12 inch infotainment screen. You can now order a normal Tekna, with the Bose sound system. So you can get smaller 19in alloys. However you don't get the multi link suspension on the rear, as you do with the Tekna +. You of course can buy smaller alloys if you wish. The car I test drove felt very smooth and quiet to drive even on the large 20-inch wheels. Might be a different story on a rough country road though.
@@attilab.2818 Probably no benefit in changing your Lexus for a Nissan Qashqai. But if it was a toss up between buying a Lexus or a Qashqai. You would certainly get more bang for your buck‘s with a Qashqai. Especially the top spec version. The Tekna+ Has all the features found on the Lexus top of the range model, but at a fraction of the price. I have found the build quality to be excellent, as well as the level of comfort and refinement.
As I'm sure you are aware the Qashqai is a huge hit as a motability car. My wife is in the scheme, and we have the 2020 Tekna 1.3 158BHP with the DCT gearbox. Just a quick question if you have the time to answer of course, will she notice a big difference between the DCT and the Xtronic box? Great review, I enjoyed your presentation very much. I hope by the time she is due to get her next new car (November 2023) things as a whole, will be much improved. Take care
I've just ordered m 5th qashqai, I've got the tekna+ at the moment but ordered a tekna, the best interior for tekna and tekba + is the light grey and black
@JaceDavis-of7hk tekna plus will give you the bose sound system, self parking, both drivers and passenger seats are electric with quilted leather 3 mode massage function and memory setting
Good review. I actually DON'T like its new look, especially the shape of the rear quarter light windows. And the 20 inch alloys just look ridiculous IMO. I think you were pretty generous with your praise considering this is a brand new model with just one (not new) engine and no diesel option What is that all about?
I've got a brand new Quashquai but I will not buy another. Everytime you start the car you have to accept or decline a disclaimer which is incredibly annoying and dangerous as half the time you are already driving. I have spoken with the dealer and this can't be removed.
It would seem that you guys get all the good stuff, transmission and power train options, and North America gets all the CVT poop. Please send me a six speed manual transmission..... I almost don't care what motor it's bolted to.
That's not what coasting means. Coasting is when you disengage the gears, either by pushing down the clutch in a manual or putting an automatic into neutral, whilst moving. It causes an enormous loss of control, which is why it's advised against and will cause a failure if you do it during a driving test. Letting off the gas when you've reached your desired speed is just a normal part of driving.
@@AutoBears it's not called anything lol. It's just part of driving to sometimes not add more gas. You aren't coasting if the gears are engaged. As I said already, coasting is when you disengage the gears. The gears do not disengage when you take your foot off the gas lol, the gears disengage when you push down the clutch pedal or put the car in neutral. You're welcome to check the Highway Code if you don't believe me. Rule 122 is the one you're after.
@@R3RLEE nah. The Bose speakers don't come on the Tenka in the UK because I have a brand new 23 plate Tenka and it doesn't have Bose speakers. They're a £590 option or standard with the Tenka Plus. Like I already said.
Fantastic car I just got the qashqi e-power tekna awesome to drive. However my complaint is no CD player. I listened to CDs they sound much better than mp3 and so on so I would not get Bose sound system as it still doesn't have a CD player 😡😡
My partner had one and it broke down three times in eighteen months. This resulted in an offensive letter from the dealership, and then it was sold. We will never set foot in a Nissan dealership again. Plus, the over- light dead steering was awful.
@@attilab.2818 Lexus are too big and too expensive, and I just can’t love Toyotas, their exteriors and interiors are a mess, plus most of them are too low to access easily and the RAV4 is again charmless inside and too expensive for what it is. Hondas are cleanly designed and suit me well, plus the dealership is quite near (this matters) and the people there are charming.
Why oh why oh why, do they fit such large wheels, and therefore such low profile (elastic band-like) tyres, to these cars. They might help you go round corners a bit quicker, but at the expense of comfort, noise, vibration, tyre cost and fuel economy.
Hi there Raj. It depends on the type of petrol engine and the size of the car it’s powering. You can get frugal cars out there. There was no need for the dislike Raj. Have a great day.
@@AutoBears yeh the smaller the engine the more frugal, infact it doesn't matter about the engine being frugal is all about the driver. In my 1.6d 48v Sportage I have managed 60mpg and in the forum's everyone says I'm a lair means I'm just a better driver than everyone else.
@@rajindernijjer Hate to piss on your parade, but just because you're achieving 60 mpg doesn't mean you're a "better" driver. Unless you're talking specifically about your eco driving skills. Which by the way is not how this came across.
@@stuontwo677 oh that's funny because there's a event for eco driving and guess who used to win it always yes Micheal shoemaker he didn't win it either because he's a better driver.

Great review as usual Dave Nothing of importance omitted Well done
this review is garbish when rev. a car first thing is indicatores in the front if indicatores are at the wrong side of headlights waste of time
Great review , first one I have seen from this guy well done. Just wish that when cars are reviewed it’s always the top model .
Thank you very much Ken for your comment. The reason we sometimes review mid-spec cars is due to the manufacturers choice on fleet or the reviews choice as we try and find the sweet spot for viewers.

Great review. We've ordered the n connecta in magnetic blue due in April.
Nice review. The auto shift is only for the 158Bhp engine. Also, there is no 48 Volt hybrid system. It is a 12V starter/generator.

Going to have a look see tomorrow at e power 👍 had a 2014 mk2 brake calipers failed on that and it would roll when parked haha
Hey there Dave. Thanks for your comment. Let me know how you get on with the E-Power as I do have that model coming soon to the channel.

Thank you very much for the comment Nick. I’m glad you enjoyed the review.
We just ordered the n-connecta, with glass roof manual box, as wasn’t sure about the auto box, hope we done right
My wife is on motability and we just ordered the same car as you only in storm white hope to get it mid October.
great review nice and straight

Is the boot space not 500l in the qashqai?
Yes, apologies. The 436 is with the floor in it's highest position.
Is the auto box on this still a CVT ?
There is no gearbox on this.
Decent car
Good review. I actually DON'T like its new look, especially the shape of the rear quarter light windows. And the 20 inch alloys just look ridiculous IMO. I think you were pretty generous with your praise considering this is a brand new model with just one (not new) engine and no diesel option What is that all about?
Last I heard there was an issue with sourcing a part diesel engines need, so loads of manufacturers are reducing the availability of diesel options.
I've got a brand new Quashquai but I will not buy another. Everytime you start the car you have to accept or decline a disclaimer which is incredibly annoying and dangerous as half the time you are already driving. I have spoken with the dealer and this can't be removed.

@@attilab.2818 Lexus are too big and too expensive, and I just can’t love Toyotas, their exteriors and interiors are a mess, plus most of them are too low to access easily and the RAV4 is again charmless inside and too expensive for what it is. Hondas are cleanly designed and suit me well, plus the dealership is quite near (this matters) and the people there are charming.
Why oh why oh why, do they fit such large wheels, and therefore such low profile (elastic band-like) tyres, to these cars. They might help you go round corners a bit quicker, but at the expense of comfort, noise, vibration, tyre cost and fuel economy.
low profile tires are just plain stupid on SUV i totally agree
No diesel - not buying.
Diesels are dead.
And no one will ever buy your diesel soon.
@@attilab.2818 People love diesel in our parts.
Lol diesel..😂
Petrol engines drink like fish, combined with suv body there aweful they have no torque and when you put you foot down to get it moving they drink.
Hi there Raj.
It depends on the type of petrol engine and the size of the car it’s powering. You can get frugal cars out there.
There was no need for the dislike Raj. Have a great day.
@@AutoBears yeh the smaller the engine the more frugal, infact it doesn't matter about the engine being frugal is all about the driver. In my 1.6d 48v Sportage I have managed 60mpg and in the forum's everyone says I'm a lair means I'm just a better driver than everyone else.
@@rajindernijjer very true. How you drive the car is a reflection on the economy figures.
60 is respectable in the sportage.
@@rajindernijjer Hate to piss on your parade, but just because you're achieving 60 mpg doesn't mean you're a "better" driver. Unless you're talking specifically about your eco driving skills. Which by the way is not how this came across.
@@stuontwo677 oh that's funny because there's a event for eco driving and guess who used to win it always yes Micheal shoemaker he didn't win it either because he's a better driver.
