I suppose it just shows how design and style are all very individual, I think it's a good looking SUV, I can't say I think it looks very generic like some say. Interior wise think it's looks pretty good too, also the infotainment system doesnt look too bad, does it? I think they have done well to create a car that does what they need it to do and sell by the bucket load. Shame I think the review was good but did seem a bit quick and missed out a lot of the spec list and finer details that Nissan have changed for this new model.
The first thing he talks about is the design of the symbols on the touch screen. That is a mere detail. It's like going to a restaurant and talking about whether you like the curtains.
Not really, unless it’s a restaurant that you’re going to every day, where you have no option but to touch and stare at the curtains the whole time you’re there and over the course of 3-5 years they never change.
I agree 110% I think the design is fine, you don't want fancy looking graphics whilst driving, as long as it has all the features. The design is irrelevant
Technology for technology sake I think this is what is probably putting the price of cars up, how long till a Qashqai is classed as a luxury car being over £40k.
Qashqai wasn't the best seller because it was spectacular, but because it was one of the very rare ones back then..which certainly isn't the case any more. ...and I don't appreciate you comparing it only to german competitors, not mentioning french and other japanese ones.
Well I have just watched this video and the presentation is ok but he missed out a few things. Like the opening of the back doors the on front screen presentation so you don’t have to look down .
Looking good. A car I've avoided for a long time. Mainly due to being so many on the road but I have owned one now for nearly 3 years and love it. This new model is definitely on my list of potential new cars when the time comes for trading up.
Hey. I am waiting for my new 2021 tekna plus in September. I already watched lot of reviews and video's. But no body make video in night time. For bater look in night drive experience and interior lights, specially headlights. If is it possible please make one video for Nissan Fans. Thanks.
I'm waiting for mine too, as well in September. I hope we'll get it on time, because I suppose to have mine in August, but Nissan change it to September 😠
Picked up my Qashqai in July on a 22 Plate which has been tweaked by Nissan since the 21 plate it has the new Logo on it and better Infotainment system . has the electric boot which shuts smoothly with no problems so far so good.
Growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, the blue interior won me over...a color that reminds me of the cars of my youth and isn't very popular these days. Refinement is great on the the latest Qashqai, more than many expect of a car of this class.
Needed the hybrid to be out at launch, that will be the game changer of the range if the emissions are as low as they should be its going to do well in the company car sector for those that can't afford an EV yet but are looking for something low in UK BIK tax. (why the RAV4 is doing well now)
I hope they have finally illuminated all the window switches and generally improved ambient lighting . The above were my biggest dislikes from a 20133 tekna and 2016 tekna.
You weren’t that clear whether u liked it or not. Your point of view was not as obvious as in the Hyundai Tucson apart from the fact that it’s better than the previous model. Should we avoid it? Shortlist it? Or buy it?
"you might not know that by the end of its life [...] it was well off the pace compared to its best rivals". WhatCar 2 years ago: "If you want a family SUV, it should definetly be on your shortlist". How would we know?
We had this car as a 3 week rental during a recent vacation in Germany. I hated it. Spending hours at a time as a passenger, the seats are very uncomfortable, no liumbar support and the headrest is too far forward, leading to a unnatural position. Furthermore, the rear window is too smal and too high, making it feel like one is in a whole, again not good for sightseeing. The rental agency described the car as holding 5 passengers and 5 pieces of luggage. This might be true, id the luggage is 5 backpacks. We could only accomodate 5 persons or 5 pieces of luggage, not both. This led to some significant inconveniences.
I will test drive this because my Qashqai is 5 years old but I'm disappointed with the lack of engine choice. I fear it won't pull properly like a diesel.
Buy an EV then, they have insane amounts of torque. My LEAF drives like a sports car, is ultra reliable and cost all of £2.50 to fill up (cheap night tariff)
Oh really? Not fun of VAG products but you can't compare it to Audi. And to be honest even Skoda has better fit and finish. Going back to Nissan. Considering just the design I'd prefer previous generation with some updates.
Sorry guys, but for me Peugeot interiors look like some spaceship made in China. Too cheap and shiny. Not to mention the ridiculous steering wheel position.
Have just bought a 2019 Qashqai with the new 1.3 turbo engine. Has 158 bhp and is far from weedy. Most powerful 1.3 I have ever driven. Merc 'A' class has same engine.
Would I buy a brand new combustion car in 2021? Probably not, it’s fine now, but when I want to sell it on in 3-5 years time it’s value will be very low. I would consider a used combustion car, less depreciation, but this technology is already old school now, by 2025 it might provoke a laugh.
The exterior is as generic and nondescript as they come and while the quality of the interior looks decent enough its design is nothing to write home about. Overall this qashqai will become just an also-ran in the segment. The Ateca and the Tucson are two much better alternatives
from what I know, they said that if you spec it with awd with wichever rim size OR fwd with the biggest 20 inches wheels, you get that multilink suspension... the problem is if you want that multilink but spec it fwd with 19 or lower size wheels... for sure multilink with fwd would be confortable and easy to maintain and run on bad roads...
Dated tech screen.. Nasty myriad of cheap looking buttons.. Dark plastic interior.. No hybrid model at launch.. Overstretched tiny engines.. Torsion beam rear suspension - that saves Nissan/Renault £50 and every driver had substandard suspension.. Who would spend money on this now?
Looks much better than the previous model inside & out, great video! ☺️

To me, those icons look very dated and I would never want to even consider the car bcz of that old look of the interface.
@@HaseebShafaqat Ha ha. V funny.

Great review once again Doug, very objective. Keep em coming please .
Nissan nailed it. Great job!
Except for the touchscreen. Small and dated, ordinary graphics for the class...

I have a qashqai but I want an all electric qashqai. Stop dragging it out and get it built and on sale
Ordered one today after test drive brilliant
What's the fascination with apple and android car play? As long as it has bluetooth then what else do you need to play music?

Make a video on Haval jolion
Your video quality and your review is amazing man! Keep up with your work!
Please make a review about the new Kodiaq!!!

really hate that stuck on infotainment system.. prefer older interior with more buttons

None of the rivals are as good when it comes to Technology in this car. None have 360 cam or proper heads up display.

The turbo 1.3 in 160 bhp version pulls really well. Just bought one.
The 2nd gen from 2018 looked weird on the outside but now this new one looks a lot better
Just amazed in this day and age they still sell manuals in cars like these 🙄
Manual for me.
manuals are better then most of automatic gearshifts and cheaper too
Why. Manuals still the best. Cvt and other autos slow to react. Unless you go for real expensive auto transmission.
@@joe80ss maybe he is (like) american and for them manuals are rocket science
Ha no not American and I’m all for manuals on track/sport cars but not for suvs and your everyday family cars..
Nice interior on this Qashqai. The German stuff looks so plain and boring.
Oh really? Not fun of VAG products but you can't compare it to Audi. And to be honest even Skoda has better fit and finish.
Going back to Nissan. Considering just the design I'd prefer previous generation with some updates.
Ah so no flexi seats. Bummer
Great review, but why the Click Bait Title???
No mention of the massaging seats!
This horrible trend of having the infotainment screen sticking out has to stop.
I would advise anyone considering a Qashqai to get a Toyota/Lexus alternative. Much better cars with higher quality standards that are built to last.
except for the technology nissan has way better then lexus or toyota currently
no diesel options?? byeeee
Brilliant Car
Very short review for such a good car
My 2017 3008 GT interior looks so much better than this brand new one
Peugeot way ahead of the game on interiors
Sorry guys, but for me Peugeot interiors look like some spaceship made in China. Too cheap and shiny. Not to mention the ridiculous steering wheel position.
@@mastrasport I feel exactly the same. 3008 interior is a bit childish for me.
I prefer a Peugeot 3008.
No 7 seater?
That would be the x-trail
I really like the exterior styling and the interior, I’m just underwhelmed by the weedy engines…
Have just bought a 2019 Qashqai with the new 1.3 turbo engine. Has 158 bhp and is far from weedy. Most powerful 1.3 I have ever driven.
Merc 'A' class has same engine.
@@briantitchener4829 I’ve driven one and found it weedy and underpowered, but that’s my experience and opinion.
158 bhp and 192 lbsft of torque is weedy.???? What do you drive an Aston Martin.
@@olivercraig4148 weedy weedy weedy engine
Lovely car but it’s too expensive
Super car!!!
Would I buy a brand new combustion car in 2021? Probably not, it’s fine now, but when I want to sell it on in 3-5 years time it’s value will be very low. I would consider a used combustion car, less depreciation, but this technology is already old school now, by 2025 it might provoke a laugh.
Qashqai: the motab soup of the day
The exterior is as generic and nondescript as they come and while the quality of the interior looks decent enough its design is nothing to write home about.
Overall this qashqai will become just an also-ran in the segment.
The Ateca and the Tucson are two much better alternatives
Unlikely Qashqai will sell like hot cakes while the imitation SUVs won’t …this is Nissans segment after all there invented it
In the states you can get a Rogue Sport. Much better car.
It’s literally the exact same car just different badging. Rogue Sport is a Qashqai and Rogue is an X-Trail.
Strange reply as the rogue is a qashqai with a different badge so how way better?????
@@MrKaydar For one thing, the Rogue has a half litre bigger engine with better mileage.
@@stanleycronk4136 still the same car. Plus it has a cvt so definate massive negative in my book.
@@MrKaydar Rogue and Rogue Sport are totally different. But that's what Nissan America wants to do. Deceive you by adding "Sport" at the end.
I’d get in the Qashqai if he stays in it! 🥰
Honda HR.? Nissan ?
Everybody hates this, and yet we'll get bored of seeing this on the roads.
French engineers and British manufacturers, what could go wrong? Nevermind the outdated design…….. 🤣
4:40 wow Nissan, you gave buyers a lose-lose compromise. Spectacularly stupid.
from what I know, they said that if you spec it with awd with wichever rim size OR fwd with the biggest 20 inches wheels, you get that multilink suspension... the problem is if you want that multilink but spec it fwd with 19 or lower size wheels... for sure multilink with fwd would be confortable and easy to maintain and run on bad roads...
Nissan is showing signs that its on a renaissance, just like in the early 90's .
who will buy this car in 2021?
Me
Mine is on order
@@marciveson5794 I've ordered a blue automatic Tekna too
@@NakisaSoltanKashefi I,ve gone for the Fuji Sunset , I ve always had a dark colour before
As usual, all you people just get a 'posh' version to test.
But you all seem to accept this without question.
Wonder why?
1mn in and he mentions VW. Next.
New model better than the old one. Ground breaking assessment.
Still don’t think it matches a Peugeot 3008.
For me, Nissan will always be the less attractive and less reliable brand out of all the Japanese ones.
Thank Renault for that
@@ChrisJamesUK1 I wouldn't be surprised 🙄
GT-R excluded
All SUV should all be auto as them driven by brain dead lazy people who drive on wrong side of road because they think they just brought a bus
Bigger version of the HATEFUL NISSAN PUKE
Dated tech screen.. Nasty myriad of cheap looking buttons.. Dark plastic interior.. No hybrid model at launch.. Overstretched tiny engines.. Torsion beam rear suspension - that saves Nissan/Renault £50 and every driver had substandard suspension..
Who would spend money on this now?
Me. New model is my fourth. No problems with any of them.
Ruined.. UGLY
Ruined!
But its still a Renault.
why dose it look like he been superimposed
Was and always will be rubbish 🗑
what’s wrong with this car?
