Nissan Qashqai (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of clever tech	No plug-in hybrid
Roomy and practical cabin	Underwhelming performance of 1.3 mild hybrid
Stylish looks	High-spec cars are very pricey

Quick Summary

The Nissan Qashqai is a mid-sized family SUV that pioneered the crossover genre, blending the practicality and efficiency of a family hatchback with SUV styling and raised ride height. The third-generation model, launched in 2021 and updated in 2024-2025, represents a significant step forward with improved dynamic ability, interior quality, style, and technology. It's offered with mild-hybrid petrol engines (138bhp or 156bhp) or an innovative E-Power full hybrid where the petrol engine acts as a generator, leaving a 201bhp electric motor to drive the wheels at all times.

Practicality is a genuine strength, with generous legroom, headroom, and up to 504 litres of boot space featuring a clever split, variable-height floor. The driving experience is effortless and refined, with responsive steering, good body control, and comfortable ride quality. Fuel economy is respectable, with mild-hybrid models achieving around 44mpg officially (35mpg real-world), whilst the E-Power delivers approximately 50mpg in testing. Equipment levels are generous across the range, though high-spec Tekna and Tekna+ trims push prices over £40,000. The Qashqai remains one of the UK's best-selling cars, offering excellent all-round appeal for families seeking comfort, practicality, and value.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-equipped mid-sized SUV with strong resale value and easy-to-use technology.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising plug-in hybrid capability, those wanting the lowest-cost entry to the SUV market, or drivers seeking thrilling performance from the 1.3 mild-hybrid engine.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Qashqai if: You're seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-equipped mid-sized SUV with strong resale value, clever technology, and easy-to-use features for family motoring.

Consider alternatives if: You require plug-in hybrid capability, want the lowest-cost entry to the SUV market, or prioritise thrilling performance from the 1.3 mild-hybrid engine.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Qashqai is an excellent all-rounder in the family SUV class, offering strong practicality, comfort, and value for money. Whilst the Kia Sportage edges ahead with a five-star expert rating and the Volkswagen Tiguan boasts the highest user rating at 4.8 out of 5, the Qashqai holds its own with competitive pricing and generous equipment levels. The Ford Kuga offers similar appeal, but the Qashqai's innovative E-Power hybrid and stylish design make it a compelling choice for families prioritising ease of use and technology over outright performance.
