Quick Summary

The Nissan Qashqai is a hugely popular mid-sized family SUV, credited with starting the 'crossover' genre. The third-generation model, which received an extensive facelift in 2024 and further updates to its hybrid model in 2025, features an edgier look and enhanced practicality. It's offered with mild hybrid petrol engines (138bhp or 156bhp) and an innovative E-Power full hybrid system, where the 1.5-litre petrol engine acts solely as a generator for a 201bhp electric motor, providing an electric-like driving experience.

Practicality is a strong suit, with generous legroom and headroom for rear passengers, though there are no sliding seats or seven-seat option. The boot offers up to 504 litres, with a versatile split, variable-height floor. The driving experience is effortless and refined, particularly with the E-Power system, which feels smooth and quiet. Ride comfort is generally good, though larger wheels can make it a bit jumpy.

Equipment levels are respectable, with all models featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add digital dials, Google integration, 3D parking cameras, and luxury features like heated seats and a Bose sound system. Running costs are competitive, with good residual values. Fuel economy is acceptable, with mild hybrids achieving around 44mpg (official) and the E-Power closer to 50mpg in real-world driving. The Qashqai is an excellent all-rounder, significantly improved over previous generations in dynamics, interior quality, style, and technology, maintaining its appeal for practicality, comfort, ease-of-use, and value for money.

Best for: Families needing a practical and comfortable SUV, buyers looking for a refined and efficient hybrid, those who value technology and a commanding driving position, and those seeking good value in the used market.
Not ideal for: Buyers needing a seven-seater, those who prefer a plug-in hybrid, or those unwilling to pay a premium for high-spec trims.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Qashqai if: You need a practical, comfortable, and technologically advanced family SUV, appreciate a refined hybrid driving experience (especially E-Power), or are looking for good value in the used market.

Consider alternatives if: You require a seven-seat option, prefer a plug-in hybrid powertrain, or are sensitive to the high price of top-tier trims.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Qashqai maintains its strong position in the family SUV market by offering significant improvements in dynamics, interior quality, style, and technology. It excels in practicality, comfort, and ease-of-use, making it a compelling choice. While it doesn't offer a seven-seat option or a plug-in hybrid like some rivals, its innovative E-Power system and overall value make it an excellent all-rounder against competitors like the Ford Kuga, Kia Sportage, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
