It was in 2006 in Europe that the QASHQAI pioneered the crossover with its blend of hatchback compactness and Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) practicality.

From then the model evolved with exceptional and bespoke designs. The all-new QASHQAI reflects the bold stance of the Nissan Motor Company to produce the best quality for discerning auto enthusiasts.

Nissan rolled out the new QASHQAI 2021 late last year, coming with sharp LED lighting and striking alloy wheels. With its roomy interior in an aerodynamic and compact body. The QASHQAI, according to Nissan on its website, once again brings a new vision to the small SUV market.

The design for the all-new QASHQAI was derived from Nissan’s European Design Studio in London, UK. Although still unmistakably QASHQAI, this third generation is more muscular, sharp and modern.

On the exterior, the QASHQAI’s enhanced body stance is more purposeful, with prominent shoulder lines, and sports an enlarged Nissan V-motion grille. This is complemented by slim, full LED advanced matrix headlamps with boomerang signature daylight running lights; giving a premium and precise impression.

From the side, Nissan in a statement said the new QASHQAI appears more athletic and dynamic, with a single fast line that strikes through the car from the front to the rear, giving a very horizontal presence to the car, but also conveying a sense of dynamism.

The cabin

The cabin of the all-new QASHQAI sets a new segment standard for a premium feel, distinctive design and enhanced usability. It creates a “reassuring and calming environment”, new white ambient lighting is used throughout the cabin with improved all-round visibility to give drivers a commanding sense of their environment.

You will be able to maintain your focus on the road with a heads-up display and can select from a number of varying screen configurations so that you can easily navigate or select the perfect tune to get you through the day.

4 grade options

The all-new QASHQAI will be offered in a new 1.3L four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 110kW and 250Nm. It will also deliver the class-leading poise and comfort that comes from an advanced multi-link rear suspension configuration, standard on all grades. Looking to the future, Nissan said its “innovative e-POWER technology” will follow in late 2022.

“The new Qashqai is going to change what customers can expect from a family car. Comfort, refinement and technology will be comparable with upper segment vehicles, while the driving experience will satisfy drivers and passengers alike. With Nissan’s bold e-POWER technology, we feel that customers will fall in love with the feeling of an electric powertrain, without the range concerns,” Chairman, Nissan Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania (AMIEO) Region, Gianluca de Ficchy, had said in 2021 when the model was originally revealed in Europe.
