Nissan Qashqai 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, a hugely popular mid-sized family SUV, is credited with pioneering the 'crossover' genre. The third-generation model, launched in 2001 and facelifted in 2024/2025, boasts an edgier design and improved interior. It offers strong practicality with ample legroom and headroom, a competitive boot of up to 504 litres, and a versatile split, variable-height floor. While it lacks a seven-seat option, its raised driving position and good visibility contribute to an imposing SUV feel.

The Qashqai range features mild-hybrid petrol engines (138bhp or 156bhp) and an updated 2025 E-Power full hybrid. The E-Power system is unique, with a 1.5-litre petrol engine acting solely as a generator for a 201bhp electric motor, providing an electric-car-like driving experience that is smooth, refined, and effortless. While mild-hybrid performance can be underwhelming, the E-Power offers a muscular take-off. Running costs are acceptable, with generous equipment levels, though high-spec trims can be pricey.

Best for: Families seeking a practical and comfortable mid-sized SUV with good technology and stylish looks, or those who appreciate an effortless, electric-like driving experience (E-Power).

Not ideal for: Buyers needing a plug-in hybrid, expecting strong performance from the base mild-hybrid engines, requiring a seven-seater, or those on a strict budget considering high-spec trims.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Qashqai if: You're a family seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-equipped mid-sized SUV, value modern technology and stylish design, or want an effortless, refined driving experience offered by the E-Power hybrid.

Consider alternatives if: You require a plug-in hybrid option, prioritise strong performance from the entry-level engines, need a seven-seater, or have a tight budget for higher trim levels.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Qashqai continues to be a formidable contender in the family SUV market. With significant improvements in dynamics, interior quality, style, and technology, it maintains its traditional appeal of strong practicality, comfort, and ease-of-use. While it foregoes diesel and PHEV options, its mild-hybrid and innovative E-Power full hybrid powertrains offer compelling choices. Its generous equipment levels and expected strong resale value make it an excellent all-rounder, though high-spec models can be pricey compared to some rivals.
