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 segment, blending the practicality and efficiency of a family hatchback with SUV styling and raised ride height. The third-generation model, launched in 2021, 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. A comprehensive 2024 facelift introduced a new front end and interior updates, with the E-Power receiving further enhancements in 2025.

Practicality is a genuine strength, with generous legroom, headroom, and a 504-litre boot featuring a clever split, variable-height floor. The driving experience is effortless and refined, particularly in the E-Power variant, which delivers smooth, linear acceleration without gear changes. Real-world fuel economy sits around 35mpg for mild hybrids and 50mpg for the E-Power, though official figures are higher. Running costs are competitive, with services every 18,000 miles on hybrids or 12,000 miles on the E-Power. The Qashqai maintains its traditional appeal through strong practicality, comfort, ease-of-use, and excellent value, making it an outstanding all-rounder in the family SUV class.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, comfortable, and stylish SUV with modern technology, those prioritising smooth, effortless driving, and buyers wanting a full-hybrid option without plug-in complexity.

Not ideal for: Those requiring a plug-in hybrid, drivers seeking thrilling performance from the 1.3 mild-hybrid engine, or budget-conscious buyers eyeing the high-spec Tekna and Tekna+ trims.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Qashqai if: You're seeking a practical, comfortable, and stylish family SUV with modern technology, prioritising smooth, effortless driving, or wanting a full-hybrid option without plug-in complexity.

Consider alternatives if: You require a plug-in hybrid, desire thrilling performance from the 1.3 mild-hybrid engine, or are budget-conscious about high-spec trims.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Qashqai is an excellent all-rounder in the family SUV class, offering strong practicality, comfort, and value. Whilst the Kia Sportage edges ahead on expert rating and the Volkswagen Tiguan scores higher with users, the Qashqai's innovative E-Power hybrid, stylish design, and generous technology make it highly competitive. It represents a worthy choice for families prioritising ease-of-use and refinement over outright performance or premium badge appeal.
