Quick Review by Carshop Staff
The well known fairy tale of a little girl who waits to meet her “Knight in Shining Armour†comes to mind as I stood face to face with the ‘All New’ Nissan Qashqai for the first time. The sleek defined features that give the Qashqai its own sassy and fearless new character, the shield of protection which offers the world’s highest level of impact safety for each passenger confirms peace of mind, and with its muscular shape and curves the Qashqai oozes sex appeal which boldly stand out for all to view.
To say the interior is ‘comfortable and inviting’ would be an understatement.  In fact, I would be lying if the truth were not told. To sit in the seat of pure luxury and sheer elegance which has been designed where every quality in detail has been achieved, is intoxicating.
Stylish chic interior and upholstery styled for comfort, the LED dashboard lights that present itself when the ignition is turned on, key touch points and surfaces to enhance the sensory experience, blew my expectations with all that the new Nissan Qashqai has to offer.
My element was unleashed with a few more appealing features such as, spacious seating for a family of five, sufficient boot space that would make packing for a quick get- away hassle free, ABS braking with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and brake assist system (BAS), an electric parking brake, six airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchor points in the seat belts (clearly it is a no-brainer that safety counts, no matter what!), and my absolute favourite which I tested on occasion to indulge my satisfaction (and each time boosted my confidence a little more) was the hill start assistance!
The All new Qashqai is a SUV which has been designed for long –term durability driving pleasure and in the 1.6DCi Acenta produces a healthy 96kW and 320Nm of torque. With my street-wise opinion the ‘All new’ Nissan Qashqai is the ultimate family vehicle offered in its range and promotes, without a doubt, the Nissan ethos, “Innovation that excitesâ€.
A true story, with a very happy ending for complete driving sensation!
