Why buy a used Nissan Qashqai?

The Nissan Qashqai needs almost no introduction, because the first model helped kick off the crossover craze here in the UK. The secret to its success is the raised seating position and ride height, plus space for your family and their knick-knacks – along with its comfortable ride, sharp design and frugal engines. The Qashqai is a really good car if you’re after a family-sized SUV. It’s spacious, reliable, safe, economical and refined. Its popularity means that used buyers have lots of choice and prices are competitive.

Popular Nissan Qashqai trims for sale at Motorpoint

Trim levels for used Qashqai models start with Visia before stepping up to Acenta/Acenta Premium, depending on the age of the car. Above that is N-Connecta with some high-tech extras, and then Tekna and Tekna+, which get the kitchen-sink treatment.

Owning a used Nissan Qashqai

A used Qashqai should be a joy to live with. It's easy to use and has a relaxed driving experience, and there's lot of tech to enjoy. The most popular engine is the 1.3-litre MH (mild-hybrid) petrol, which returns 40-45mpg. Xtronic is Nissan's automatic gearbox if you'd rather not shift gears yourself. There's also an E-Power hybrid that's designed to feel like an electric car in how it drives, but it doesn't need plugging in and manages almost 55mpg. Read our full Nissan Qashqai review to get a better idea what this car is like to live with.

Your Nissan Qashqai questions answered

There have been three generations of Nissan Qashqai. All are five-seat SUVs – there’s no seven-seater Qashqai any more, but the Nissan X-Trail does offer a third row of seats if you’re one of the designated drivers for your child’s sports team.

Whether you want petrol or diesel, two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, or a manual or automatic gearbox, the Qashqai is a stylish but unpretentious choice that’ll slot as easily into your lifestyle as it does into parking spaces. An extensive facelift in 2017 introduced some welcome improvements too.

Then, in 2021, a new Qashqai was launched. Marked out by its boomerang-shaped headlights, the latest iteration doesn’t do anything drastically different but does come with a thoroughly updated interior and hybrid options.

The Nissan Qashqai might look like a rufty-tufty SUV but, in reality, it’s barely any bigger than a family hatchback like a Ford Focus – although, of course, it is taller. It’s a little over 4.4m long and 1.8m wide. Its size means it’s reasonably easy to park, and that task is made easier on top-spec cars with lots of cameras and parking assistance. The raised ride height means it’s easy to get children in and out, and you’ll find its height handy if you have limited mobility. Yet, it’s not so high that the family labrador will have to put on mountain-climbing gear to get in the boot.

The Qashqai manages to be a lot more practical than a conventional hatchback, offering plenty of headroom and enough legroom. However, it’s not quite the most spacious SUV so, if you’ve got a particularly bulky child seat or a particularly tall teenager, the Qashqai might start to feel a little cramped.

The pre-2021 Qashqai has a 430-litre boot (seats up), while its newer replacement offers up to 504 litres. Both are a good size, even if they’re a little short of what’s available in the Skoda Karoq or Hyundai Tucson.

Whether you want petrol or diesel, two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, or a manual or automatic gearbox, the Qashqai offers something to suit. There are no hybrids on the previous-generation Qashqai, but the latest iteration does replace the old diesel engines with clean hybrid units.

Four-wheel drive is available on range-topping versions of the Qashqai – both the latest and previous generation – but the vast majority are front-wheel drive. Many of the Qashqai’s SUV rivals are similar in this respect.

The Nissan Qashqai hasn’t always had a reliability record – to be expected given just how many are sold each year – but it seems reliability has improved with the very latest Qashqai. It was named the UK’s most reliable car by Which? in January 2023.
