Nissan Qashqai
Quick verdict
The fast answer firstThe Nissan Qashqai mixes efficient running (6.5 L/100km), a 5‑star safety rating, and useful space (522 L trunk) at around 25,000, making it good value in its segment. With 150 hp and 0–100 km/h in 9 s, it suits everyday city and family use more than spirited driving.

Should you choose the Nissan Qashqai?
A practical buyer-focused readWhy choose it
- Efficient for its class at 6.5 L/100km.
- 5‑star safety rating supports family confidence.
- 522 L trunk and 5 seats handle weekly hauls with ease.
- Competitive pricing around 25,000.
Why skip it
- 150 hp and 0–100 km/h in 9 s won’t satisfy performance seekers.
- Not a premium‑focused model.
- If you need more than 522 L of cargo space, a larger SUV will fit better.
- Tuned more for comfort and efficiency than sporty driving.

More detailed contextNissan Qashqai: key takeaways
Priced around 25,000, it targets growing families with balanced costs and space, plus a reliability score of 75.
Efficiency and safety
Combined consumption of 6.5 L/100km keeps running costs in check, while a 5‑star safety rating adds peace of mind.
Space and everyday performance
A 522 L trunk and seating for five make school runs and shopping easy. The 150 hp engine (0–100 km/h in 9 s, 200 km/h top speed) is calibrated for smooth, everyday driving rather than performance thrills.
