I have just bought a second hand Qashqai and this review is refreshingly honest. I am not a car person and am not bothered so long as the car gets me from A to B. I am very happy with my new Qashqai after my 16 year old Ford Focus.
Had my +2 2.0 for five years now and has been a work horse and got my money's worth out of it and plenty of miles, the new ones can't get past 30k without big issues. Old techna still best value for money.
The head unit is no biggie. But I applaud Nissan for having an in-dash rather than the stick out of the dash touch screen that most other manufacturers have used.
Brilliant comparison. I love that you gave you're real opinion. I've got a 1.2l n connecta coming on Monday, I couldn't believe when you said "don't bother with the 1.2 😅
The mk2 version is for me the prettiest. My wife had the mk1 for 5 years trouble free. I had the mk2 2015 for hire, and although i love the front and overall design the car broke down. I was sent a 2nd mk2 Qashqai and unbelievably that broke down aswell
i've got one of these, a 2016 1.6l dci 4wd manual, it has actually surprised me, the mpg's are just amazingly low, and as elsewhere in europe lots of people around me tell the same story, it works well as the family hauler we bought it to be, we live in a snow heavy area and its fine in the snow. what has surprised me most though.. its how well the suspension is tuned, i am a gearhead myself and used to have allot of bmw's amg mercs and all kind of toys, and used to drive them like a idiot and all that, we quite often take the quashqai on a 400ish mile roadtrip between our town and the next city, and the road is a mix of all kinds of twisty b roads to mountain passes and every carnut would be surprised how well that thing can handle it self on those roads. i know i was, i bought this thing with the same intensions as i buy things like a washer machine and a fridge, its an instrument that serves the home. also its been super reliable, we have a little over 50k miles on it now and it just had its first failure, wich was repaired under warranty
lovely review.... You need a LAV mic for better audio quality. They are cheap you can even just connect it to your phone to record audio. but will dramatically improve audio! Thanks for the comparison :)
We have one in Australia, Dec 2018 built. Australia adopted the Qashqui nameplate with the second generation model. We also had a 2010 Dualis. No engine choice in Australia, it’s the 2 litre only. After having a 2013 Nissan Pulsar from 2014 to 2019, I feel the Qashqui is a step down in quality, the way the doors work, the locks, the tailgate sucks if you are short. My 9 year old has been able to use the tailgate the last few years. Now we have to close it for her. The brakes went basically going out of the showroom, 4 new disc rotors under 2000 kms, no hills where we live.
Oz & Nz, both colonies, seem to be 50yrs behind European cars & especially Nz who have so many old cars from UK, they just don't like new cars, or even secondhand cars, just more third-hand bangers.
I dont see any benefit in the parcel shelf system..space saver should still be standard on all cars on Qashqai it is approx £250 option. Tucson and Kuga have more space so Nissan should be looking to compete better with both of these. Also 1.5 diesel although economical really lacks in low down torque, gutless at low revs. Nissan should consider an auto box to match BMWs 8 speed which is a fantastic box.
This is the kind of review that we should get, brilliant review.....probably the best ive seen on all the review ive seen on youtube.....Honest, true and no bar hold....Keep these reviews up.....Any chance doing one on the new Hyundai Tucson???
That is not a tekna plus. The tekna plus doesn’t have any scabby plastic on the edges. It’s all paint. I know a I have placed and order for a tekna plus this week. Still a very nice car though.
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel You should learn to take advice, mate. I've watched a fair few of these videos today and yours is the only I've struggled to hear.
sarah jane wilkinson 1.5 DCI is the most unreliable thing ever. The engine is actually made by Renault, not Nissan. It is seriously underpowered (as it is normally used in diesel Clio’s and Micra’s) as the Qashqai is way to big and heavy for it. If you want a diesel Qashqai, get the 2.0 DCI... that’s a Nissan engine, and is much better in every respect. But look at one of the turbo petrol engines if you want a bit more power, and the economy is decent enough aswell.
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel I part exchanged my qashqai +2 yesterday for a 2015 1.2 dig t qashqai. I gotta be honest it outperforms my 1.6 qashqai +2 performance wise. I don't speed and stick to limits but as soon as you slip in second gear and put your foot down the turbo kicks in really fast. 6th gear great for low fuel consumption on the motorway. You should give one a test mate you might find it more favourable than the 1.5 diesel.
I have a 63 plate qashqai +2 1.6l which has a top speed of 112mph, the 1.2l qashqai MK2 has a speed of 115mph which I'm picking up at the weekend. The 1.2 has turbo built in which is why it can go faster, my road tax will go down from 200 to 120 with the upgrade so economical it makes sense. Also you're suggesting diesel which with all the added taxes now after #dieselgate is a ridiculous idea no one should buy a diesel unless they have money to throw away.
Boy I hope VW did pay you good for this one. Couldn't even be bothered to write Qashqai the way it should be but has an opinion on everything. This got to be the worst review of that car out there, both in technical quality and concerning the actual content, which is nothing more that a bunch of BS from someone who obviously was determined to hate this car from the get go.
Have 2 yr old, 30,000 k’s (23,000 miles) clutch is burnt out and Nissan are in dispute re guarantee, is it my driving ? Been driving for 50 yrs, ex police main road driver - I don’t think so! Having also been in motor trade I know how warranty companies try it on, BUT, the main dealer, Nissan Spain ?? They also let me down on a hire car as per their breakdown set up and got lies and deceit re a courtesy cat, promised one day after it happened, never heard a thing.
Getting my Qash e-Power today. Acenta Prem. so no automatic tailgate, still it's exercise. Wanted it in dark green but 4-5 months wait, so Gun Metal it is & just 8 days! wait. I'm gonna need a university course to be able to drive with it's tech.
Hi, just came across your review here on TH-cam, just need a family suv, am looking at the peugeot 3008 and the Nissan qashqai, what is your opinion on this, looking forward for your response thanks
MultiDiamond74 I have just last week bought the same N Connecta.. only a few issues, dealer forgot to tax it, and has two knocks on front offside, I think one is a sticking caliper and the other a steering/drop link/suspension bearing fault.. car is immaculate though. I drove a 2017 Tekna beforehand at different dealer which had a flat and dead battery.. the dreaded Qashqai dead battery syndrome, however it had the better leather seats and electric heated windscreen.. look up Tekna Plus aswell. Personally I would get Tekna as preference to N Connecta however having been in a Kuga with the superior 2.0tdci engine (Qashqai 1.5dci K9K engine is shit on low end torque, the sign of a bad engine) and much more rear passenger space would probably consider Kuga Titanium next time.
Bought a Nissan qashqai acenta premium 1.5dCI 2019 plate, found this wk it doesn't have heated windscreen, you want heated windscreen tekna only model that has it ,NISSAN WHY ???!
I cut have a 2016 1.2 tekna qashqai and the dashboard is too simple . Nothing compared with the other makes like Peugeot which has the wow dashboard looks
Arif Ramzan nothing wrong with Qashai dashboard, to be honest a simple dash is important for driver safety, more time watching the road ahead. If you want dash display gimmicks try a BMW 520D with 8 speed auto and the eco graph.. great car but your ass will be sitting low on the road!
Sorry mate... when you do a review... you don't complain you give feedback in a diplomatic way....you just complain about this and that a lot.... And about back ... you say no charging ports.... well i have 2 fast charging usb...and i have the standard....if you do a review do it well at least
budget Jeremy Clarkson... ‘Karaoke Clarkson’... should of known from the title. are we still sorting cars by Gender?. Most people I know buy a car like this as a family car...
Stay away from this piece of garbage! Don't spend your hard earned money on it. It makes annoying rattling sounds from everywhere inside the interior, it's all rattling plastic. The leather from the seats is not well attached below the seats which makes it stick out. The engine sometimes makes a abnormal rumbling sound, but the worst and even most annoying thing is the whistling sound the engine makes at higher speed on the highway, it makes you completely nuts!! Spare yourself the worries and stress and don't buy this garbage!! Shame on you Nissan for selling plastic garbage like this car!!
BRAVO - one of the few reviewers to have old + new together when comparing old + new!!
i have a 14 plate tekna 1.6 dci, drives really well good torque, good mpg, full leather nice n comfy cant fault it
Overall its a great value for money car. Thanks for the comment
No 12V adapater in the boot is a MAJOR failure? This guy is getting personal.

USA here. In America it's called Rogue Sport. Somewhere between Kicks and Rogue. I drive a Note which is faultless (2015). Qashqai does sound good.
I've got the pure drive , and its great its very good on the motorway , plenty of power safe and economic and no road tax
Brilliant comparison. I love that you gave you're real opinion. I've got a 1.2l n connecta coming on Monday, I couldn't believe when you said "don't bother with the 1.2 😅
115 hp is too little horsepower for a family suv

MPG is low? Do you mean it doesn't return a lot of miles or are you referring to the emissions?
@@longhlam1975 no, a little lost in translation there, i quess they are high? i get constant 45 ish mpg in town,

it was only few months ago that I bought one for ..myself..!
2008 mode I..
186.000 km.. !
..I think is a nice car..
Thanks for all these information. Pretty complete test

Get a c5 aircross..like I'm getting this friday! Great informative review to be fair!
I am going to buy a used Cashcow. That was a great review! Thanks so much
Thanks for the comment
Poor sound quality, I had to give up.
Do you mean the video had poor sound quality or the Qashqai did?
This is the kind of review that we should get, brilliant review.....probably the best ive seen on all the review ive seen on youtube.....Honest, true and no bar hold....Keep these reviews up.....Any chance doing one on the new Hyundai Tucson???
Most kind comments thankyou. Will speak to Hyundai and see what we can get
Good honest review.
Thankyou got your kind comment
Late review, came out in 2014, and revised in 2017.
reg 67 NIssan Qashaqai 1.2 dig tekna+ Automatic is good car to drive on motorway ?
is 1.3 Liter Motor a good one for a family car ?
I like your videos, a lot. But you really need to get a mic instead of recording the audio with a turnip.
Lav mikes on their way! Out with the turnip in with the clip on
only wanted to know about the Qashqai do you work for what car
That is not a tekna plus. The tekna plus doesn’t have any scabby plastic on the edges. It’s all paint. I know a I have placed and order for a tekna plus this week. Still a very nice car though.
The guy you can not hear him-voice is not getting picked up-any way nice car I've got one.
Try new speakers or change your headphones
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel You should learn to take advice, mate. I've watched a fair few of these videos today and yours is the only I've struggled to hear.
What do you think to the 1.6 petrol if I'm able to I'll change it to the 1.5 dci . thanks for the video.
sarah jane wilkinson 1.5 DCI is the most unreliable thing ever. The engine is actually made by Renault, not Nissan.

Well my 1.5 dci pulls my caravan no bother. It does 70mpg. What more do you want?
I think a cx 5 is better
Bootspace on the mk1 is smaller..Mk2 and mk3 have 430 litres, not 400.
Give or take 30litres it still seems rather small compared to its competitors
Also you've posted this July 2018, I'm sure the qashqai released in the UK 2006 so 12 year anniversary not 10
Agreed, did my math wrong

4:35 no spare wheel? Then how the hell did they manage to build such a tiny boot? Hell the boot on my mums new ford puma has a bigger boot than that.
It is spare wheel … he didn’t look under 🤣
Great review good job boss😃
Thanks for the comment 👍😉
Ye the main man for me cars rev now
Still say the yeti is the best suv out there
Can’t wait to get in a Yeti just need to convince Skoda to loan me one
Ugly as sin the yeti postman pat has one!!

I got my first one in 2007 and it had been out a year by then
Still a damn good car with an excellent engine

Tekna has thermaclear heated screen!
Definitely a do it all as there is always a problem with it Renault engineering

Great workhorses
does this guy know what he is doing? there have been 3 versions and he was comparing 2 and 3, not the original and new one.

Boot is so small. How can you even get a boot that small in a suv and with out a spare.

10/10 for observation and thanks for the comment
Commentators comment far to exaggerated towards the older model to biased!!!!!
I can see why this bloke likes a manual gearbox, he spends most of the time with only one hand on the wheel.
the boot is 430 litres, not 400.

Prefer the Auto, driving manual is no fun at all.
