Just got the 1.2 T (not new 2016) everything he's mentioned is spot on. It's a bit fidgety over bumps and the sun visor is, well, silly. I also find the gear stick too high and too far over to the left.butbo am quite short. The brakes a very sensative too. Handling is good too. But it's a GORGOUSE car. The stereo is amazing and the 360 cameras a real bonus. Took me a while to get use to the electronic handbrake and keyless ignition. Real easy to get in and out off. I find the boot big enough but took the dividers out to save on fuel. I get 48mpg on moderate runs and am very pleased with that. Just wished they did an auto.
Isn't it strange, I went for a test drive in all of these, and I went for the Qashqui in the end. Liked in interior more, the ride was much better and the over-all feel of the car made more sense to me. But great review, really enjoyed it and understood why you made your decisions. Thank you.
Resident American here but I wanted to see what the differences were between the global-spec and the US-spec. I noticed there was a bit; the differences between them both was the US models are called the Rogue Sport, it has a few different buttons for the climate control, we couldn’t get a manual gearbox (which would’ve been my preferred choice), we only got one engine choice, being a 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol 4-cylinder which made the car pathetically slow and not very fuel efficient, and I think these are European requirements; a rear fog light and the ability to adjust the angle of the low-beam lights for the headlights, neither of which we got. It only ran between the 2017-22 model years as Nissan couldn’t push enough of these to consumers. They may have sold a lot more had they thrown in either of the turbo petrol or diesel engines. Nonetheless, it’s very interesting to see what the differences are between them both.
Great review, but... Almost every single review you say that the a-pillar creates a blind spot. Well, every single car has an a-pillar and no car manufacturer yet made it transparent so obviously it will be blocking some of the view. It's almost like saying "the tyres eventually get worn because they are in contact with the road all the time". I know that some cars have bigger a-pillars than others but unless it's really, really bad, it doesn't seem to me as a valid criticism.
Aiai. you forgot to mention that 7speed automatic is supersluggish. When you wait at red light and then push 50% or 100% it takes 2-3 seconds to start acceleration. The only way to not get that is to hold brake and accelerator. Not acceptable.
I drove one of these in manual. Had some serious acceleration problems and inconsistencies too. Sometimes a gear kicks, sometimes there is no reaction coming from the motor at all. After two days I hated the car and thought it is actually pretty dangerous to handle. The electronics are bad I think. Maybe one can adjust, but it just didn't feel right in many situations.
Cool. For Those who are wondering, this car is named after the Persian/Turk tribe of Qashqayi Near my hometown of Shiraz in Iran but ironically we can't dive this car in Iran!!
hi, when are you guys doing a review on the new qashqai, well the 2018 version, I know strange. I have ordered one and should be here Tuesday, so if you need a car to review, just contact me. videos are brilliant. love matts review so funny
If I was you, I'd wait for the new Tiguan and compare prices and specs first. Pretty sure that the Tiguan is going to be a class leader, although should wait for a full UK price list first
hey mat, love your video... i've got a quick question. despite sharing the same underpinnings, which do you prefer nissan qashqai or the renault kadjar?
My Mom has an Armada and we constantly have to stop the car to check the brakes. I would say we do this once per month it is just a pain when you are driving on the interstate and your breaks start acting up smh.
If I get a scholarship to the UK...I will look for you...Take a selfie, an autograph and probably buy a Qashqai...all love from Kenya...and I will need one of the toys at 0:06
Got the 1.2L Turbo, driven just over 3000 km fun car! and very practical! Was surprised by the quality vs the pricing, you get more than what you pay for. Recommend it!
Best channel ever. I LOVED carbureted, but only Mat Watson, I hated everyone else. Your replacement is the worst. I do not like James. Mat is the only one I will watch. If I see one with the other people, I would click off. And I wondered, where did Mat go? And I searched up wow cars, and MAT WATSONS CHANNEL COMES UP!!! Best thing that ever happened to me.
Before you buy the Nissan, try a Skoda Yeti.So much sharper and quicker.I was expecting great things from new quashqui but found it slow and dull to drive
Why don’t you review the 2017 Qashqai this is the 2015 model and you done the great thing to title it to 2017.... why I mean seriously why.. Every channel uploaded new review but carwow.............!!!!!!!!!!
Great Diesel engine and gearbox combination and economical. However the ride and handling are poor on bumpy roads. It wallows and crashes over bumps and rolls like bean bag in the corners. Kids will definitely be getting sick in back. However on smooth surfaces it rides great.
Love my Qashqai and have got over 70mpg on a couple of occasions but, what is the deal with the horn? When I'm screaming abuse at some wazzock who's just cut me up I don't want my ravings to be accompanied by a pathetic squeak. I want a horn that shouts "MOVE" not "excuse me please, thank you" in the manner of a 12 year old spotty oik meeting the school bully in a deserted forest at midnight. Apparently Nissan have received a number of complaints from owners convinced that the horn on their car was broken so, perhaps Nissan should think about replacing them before their customers are embarrassed into never buying another Qashqai.
I do like to pros and cons at the end of the video and the 360 view, nice job guys. I think that carbuyer is going to lose some views and subs since Matt is back with carwow. Keep it up !
My biggest disappointment with this car is the carnav and nissanconnect. The maps in the carnav are obsolete, and Nissan doesn't make any effort to provide up-to-date maps. Nissan promises to bring all the best apps from your smartphone to the car with NissanConnect, but in the two and a half years that I owned my Qashqai, no new apps were added. Even worse, functionality was taken away. It used to be that the facebook app could read out loud messages from your wall, so you could listen while driving. Now, there is no more access to your news feed or wall. You can only post your current location to facebook. NIssanconnect is totally useless, and that's scandalous considering it was an €1800 upgrade.
Reliability is pretty good. It always starts and drives when I need it. But I've had an issue with the Start-Stop-System, and it's been recalled by Nissan once for a corrosion issue and firmware updates.
nasser yousif The maps are old. It doesn't know any street, highway or bridge that was built in the last 10 years. So frequently you will get bad instructions on how to get to your destination. I had to buy a Tomtom to get good, reliable directions.
drove 170 miles from Washington to Canada no problem. 3 adults and a luggage. saved gas too. drove in snow/ice just fine.
I watch these vídeos to be entertained, more than informed.
Thanks
Me too :)
+MatWatsonCars You should really add profile picture
Same.
Also watch honest John videos :)
You are by far my favourite car review channel, keep it up!
No nonsense family hauler! Just the reason why it sells like hot cakes.
The steering wheel looks like an elephants face on Nissan cars. Once seen, it cannot be unseen!
Yavuz I think the new one 2017 is better they changed it completely I don’t know why carwow hates to review Nissan’s cars .....
Now i know why my car has a heavy steering

hey man, im planning to buy the same one. Did you had problems with the car? Hope you see this :)
The tripping over part cracks me up :)
More technical things to know is actually good. I now know why the suspension is better, thank you :)
You're welcome!
Very good review. Very entertaining and great shots by the camera-guy.
Thanks Elroy :)
Loving the awesome videos Mat!! Great to have you back!! :)
Good to be back. Thanks for subbing
Now that Clarkson is not so present, Watson has the field to himself. Nissan excelled with this car..... Remember the Murano and the Pathfinder?
Isn't it strange, I went for a test drive in all of these, and I went for the Qashqui in the end. Liked in interior more, the ride was much better and the over-all feel of the car made more sense to me. But great review, really enjoyed it and understood why you made your decisions. Thank you.
Вот это идеал ,так как сейчас куча экранов и мало или ноль кнопок
great review. Cant watch car buyer any more. Mat is the man.
Hello Carwow Team,
Love the videos. Matt is hilarious.
Hope you guys do a review on the Ssangyong Korando.
Cheers.
Great review, as usual :) When can we expect a review of new Mazda CX-5 and new Nissan Qashqai?
I love all your videos Matt
Best looking car in its class IMO. Also great review, keep up
Great SUV, very good review Mat.
Just have to say these videos are Quality with a capital Q. Very slick editing and camera work.

Excellent rewiev. Greetings from Slovenia 😎
Plz do the new Audi Q3 review next!!!
Very entertaining review
matt!! yay I can watch the reviews and enjoy it
Enjoyed this Matt
great great great review!
can we get some non-crossover car reviews?
+Tony Goesham Absolutely! We'll be uploading some new reviews over the next two weeks.
Great review, but... Almost every single review you say that the a-pillar creates a blind spot. Well, every single car has an a-pillar and no car manufacturer yet made it transparent so obviously it will be blocking some of the view.

I know that some cars have bigger a-pillars than others but unless it's really, really bad, it doesn't seem to me as a valid criticism.
+Dmitry L I heard Jaguar is planning something to make the real world visible in those a-pillars.
That's a bit picky...
Dmitry L you are right but his new Volvo XC60 doesn’t have A-Pillar..
It doesn’t matter about the blind spot this car is so crap like mine it’ll breakdown it won’t move anyway worst car ever had

You need to learn to drive mate, and it’s not a 7speed auto so I’ve no idea what car you were driving
🤣lol isactly
Mazda cx-5 and nissan qashqai are one of the best suv there are. You can never go wrong with them and hold their resale value aswell.
Mat, please do a review of the 2016 Mazda CX-5!
Cool. For Those who are wondering, this car is named after the Persian/Turk tribe of Qashqayi Near my hometown of Shiraz in Iran but ironically we can't dive this car in Iran!!
shayan mobasheri when i first encountered the word "qashqai" had feeling it sounded farsi like "qash" eyebrows
+Mansour Anonimous Hahaha
Mat, please do golf 7 variant review.
please do a review on the Nissan x-trail 1.6 dci please
Why
Mat, I am really interested to know which car u have. 😃
hi, when are you guys doing a review on the new qashqai, well the 2018 version, I know strange. I have ordered one and should be here Tuesday, so if you need a car to review, just contact me. videos are brilliant. love matts review so funny
great review mat as usual
Your new channel & review show has my full support.
nice review Matt!! I'm looking to buy one of these but i heared alot of negative things about its reliability.
If I was you, I'd wait for the new Tiguan and compare prices and specs first. Pretty sure that the Tiguan is going to be a class leader, although should wait for a full UK price list first
+Di3zell or you can take the mazda cx5. two friends have one of these and they never had any troubles. maybe i'm the 3rd one soon. ; )
If you watch our group test vid - link at the end of this vid - you will see which car I recommend instead of the QQ...
Second
Third
tds
can you do a renault kadjar review or a vw touareg
why to walk on white cars toys like qashqai and never do you do that for the
مريم يوسفي He hates Nissan
Can't wait to see a video review of the new face-lift Nissan Qashqai 2018.
My friends grandad has this car and the battery died yesterday. We managed to jump start it and get home safely
You should try and get Ginny from car buyer you two would be quite the duo again
Are you going to review the jaguar F-pace??
hey mat, love your video... i've got a quick question. despite sharing the same underpinnings, which do you prefer nissan qashqai or the renault kadjar?
kadjar
kadjar
+carwow thanks Matt
Hey Mat...never missed any of your videos...can you please do a review of the Ferrari TDF.....
Are these good for uber? How much is full tank and how many miles you get?
Be prepared to change the brake pads every year (100% city driving). I have the 2016 model and nobody tells you about that at the dealership.
My Mom has an Armada and we constantly have to stop the car to check the brakes. I would say we do this once per month it is just a pain when you are driving on the interstate and your breaks start acting up smh.
i've driven my quashqai 50k on the same brakes with out a single problem, so this is something that your car suffers from
love the pro and con list at the end and the facts you listed earlier. great vids man!
If I get a scholarship to the UK...I will look for you...Take a selfie, an autograph and probably buy a Qashqai...all love from Kenya...and I will need one of the toys at 0:06
Got the 1.2L Turbo, driven just over 3000 km fun car! and very practical! Was surprised by the quality vs the pricing, you get more than what you pay for. Recommend it!
That is one tiny engine
@@nickm8355 yeah looking back, it got hauled to the mechanic 4 times within a year… engine blew at 15k, changed car in the end.
@@Cryptic_Tibs Oh my goodness, I hope you found something better! At least it was fun for 3000km. 😆
@@nickm8355 yeah got a 2019 Focus St-line. Hasn’t complained one bit! 50k already driven.
this comment saved me @@Cryptic_Tibs
keep up the good work!!!
I laughed at the tripping joke an awful lot more than I should have.
A few small Qashais were harmed in the making of this video.
Ohh my god that’s 😂 and cute at the same time as he trips over the baby cash cows 🐮
When will you do the XTRAIL review?
Also where do you film the majority of your films?
you're really funny. Subscribed!
Good looking decent car. Lovin' the reviews. Keep them coming! :)
Thanks!
Most welcome!
Hi Mat,can you please review the Volkswagen Tiguan 2016? thank you
Will you be doing an MG GS review when the car is released later this year?
Hi Mat in my country (Russia) this also just him in. UK called Qashqai but in USA this called Nissan rogue sport
Best channel ever. I LOVED carbureted, but only Mat Watson, I hated everyone else. Your replacement is the worst. I do not like James. Mat is the only one I will watch. If I see one with the other people, I would click off. And I wondered, where did Mat go? And I searched up wow cars, and MAT WATSONS CHANNEL COMES UP!!! Best thing that ever happened to me.
Mat can you review the VW Tiguan and the SEAT Ateca please?
I don’t like how the Qashqai is named as the Rogue Sport in America. It’s sounds much better to keep it as Qashqai for the Rogue Sport in the US.
Before you buy the Nissan, try a Skoda Yeti.So much sharper and quicker.I was expecting great things from new quashqui but found it slow and dull to drive
@19Lion8 is there any car nowadays that's reliable?
The yeti is far too ugly, sorry 😅
Very useful
Why don’t you review the 2017 Qashqai this is the 2015 model and you done the great thing to title it to 2017....
why I mean seriously why..
Every channel uploaded new review but carwow.............!!!!!!!!!!
well rehearsed, real time review...neat
Thanks to my producer Diego for making it look sweet!
Go Mat Watson! please share to support car wow and MW!
Surprised he didn’t throw the parcel shelf this time
@carwow Why have you not done the NIssan X-TRAIL yet?
Great Diesel engine and gearbox combination and economical. However the ride and handling are poor on bumpy roads. It wallows and crashes over bumps and rolls like bean bag in the corners. Kids will definitely be getting sick in back. However on smooth surfaces it rides great.

I feel the same with my Picanto's horn, when I want to show my disapproval of someone's driving I sound like a field mouse running away from a cat.
Master
The horn actually is not for shouting "Move".Its only for emergency situations or on a road with blind sector..
AAAH I love how you had cash and a cow in the armrest XD
I'm 18 and looking at this car because I'm unflexible because I'm disabled. 😟
I love the way Matt says Sportage, SPORTAGE.
David Jimenez Bañuelos no ni
I'm looking forward you do a review for Nissan Note E-Power one day, Mat :)
with a small 1.2 engine and it being a big car how does it manage going up steep hills? is it a struggle?
Dad has one of these, exact same in a purple color
it goes up hills great
we got up a steep one just fine the wheels have a really good grip
Where can i get the small nissan qashqai toy at 0:05 ?
I know where you got that music from, you forgot to credit them as they ask ;)
please make a review of the ford mustang shelby.
I do like to pros and cons at the end of the video and the 360 view, nice job guys. I think that carbuyer is going to lose some views and subs since Matt is back with carwow. Keep it up !

What about it reliability. Is qashqai reliable
Reliability is pretty good. It always starts and drives when I need it. But I've had an issue with the Start-Stop-System, and it's been recalled by Nissan once for a corrosion issue and firmware updates.
The Stop-Start system is broken again in my Qashqai. That's the second time it breaks in less than 3 years.
TheRocco96 so what's wrong with the maps I didn't understand bro.
nasser yousif The maps are old. It doesn't know any street, highway or bridge that was built in the last 10 years. So frequently you will get bad instructions on how to get to your destination. I had to buy a Tomtom to get good, reliable directions.
and yeah been waiting for the Nissan Patrol for a long time !
1:00 its like 2016.... damn.
is this road tax free in usa .. whats the cost of it and its mpg ..
Please try to review the new VW Tiguan
Matt if you read that could you please say both the imperial and metric numbers. This bothered me since carbuyer. Please. Btw I love you bro
What do you mean
+carwow mpg in liters per 100 km. so say both. I don't know if that is a big effort but I think a lot of people would be really glad.
can u do a nissan note or a honda jazz
Excellent
Can you review the new Mercedes s classes, coupe, (maybe) cabrio, and I'd love to see the sedan back again!
This will happen.
+MatWatsonCars thank you very much
Shame all the links he directs us to are now wrong, they relate to the newest Qashqai's and not this model.
Hi!What audio system brand does the qashqai have?Thx!
Video links mentioned in the video actually don't exist. I think someone forgot to upload on TH-cam.
Will fix this
We have a high spec Quashqai. Bottom 3 cars I have driven. The drive itself feels stale. Didn't like it. Trading it in for a Sportage
All suvs are stale to drive. Sportage no different. Estates much more engaging
sunroof ! why did not talk about it...not many cars offer such a wide sunroof. only the Nissan TI's !
It looks really great!
It would be cool to see a Nissan Qashqai vs Honda HRV comparison
Cant compare Japanese cars to crappy french
@@Jk-oz5qn honda is not french
@@Ksa-jy7eb are you serious lol
@@Ksa-jy7eb nissans are renualts since 2001
In the USA this is called the Nissan Rogue Sport.
I really hope they do a 43kw ev version at Paris auto show I'll buy it in a sec
