2024 Nissan Qashqai review

The new Nissan Qashqai is a much improved compact SUV, and presents well in ST-L form. It doesn&come cheap, though. Pros : Punchy turbo engine Spacious back seat and boot Tasteful blue and black interior is cool Cons : Interior not as high-tech as flashy rivals $4000 more than the ST+ You can&have it with e-Power Nissan’s compact Qashqai SUV rolls into 2024 with no changes, save for the addition of a new hybrid hero model. Having touched down locally well after its European debut, the Qashqai is a steady seller in a very competitive corner of the new car market… although Nissan would no doubt like stronger supply to help it fight the Mazda CX-30 and Hyundai Kona on the VFACTS sales charts. On paper, the Qashqai has all the makings of a fan favourite. It’s sharp to look at, has a powerful turbocharged engine under the bonnet, and packs plenty of space into its cabin despite a city-sized exterior. It’s even fun to drive. Are we missing something, or does the Qashqai deserve more love from Australian new car buyers in 2024?
