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 and updated in 2024-2025, represents a significant step forward with improved dynamic ability, interior quality, 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. The cabin is spacious with up to 504 litres of boot space, excellent visibility, and a high driving position typical of SUVs.

The Qashqai excels in practicality and comfort, with strong equipment levels across the range and responsive, direct steering that makes it easy to drive. The E-Power hybrid delivers smooth, effortless performance with around 50mpg in real-world driving, whilst mild-hybrid versions achieve approximately 35mpg. Running costs are competitive, though high-spec Tekna and Tekna+ trims push prices over £40,000. Services are due every 18,000 miles on hybrids or 12,000 miles on E-Power models. As one of the UK's best-selling cars, the Qashqai maintains strong appeal through practicality, comfort, ease-of-use, and excellent value for money.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, practical, and stylish SUV with modern technology, those wanting hybrid efficiency without plug-in charging, and buyers prioritising comfort and ease of driving.

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


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Qashqai if: You're seeking a spacious, practical, and stylish family SUV with modern technology, want hybrid efficiency without plug-in charging, or prioritise comfort and ease of driving.

Consider alternatives if: You require a plug-in hybrid option, seek thrilling performance from the mild-hybrid engine, or need to keep costs down on high-spec trims.

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 on expert rating and the Volkswagen Tiguan scores higher with users, the Qashqai matches or exceeds its rivals on deal availability and overall CarGurus rating. Its innovative E-Power hybrid system, spacious cabin, and clever technology make it a compelling choice, particularly for those prioritising ease of use and modern features over outright performance or premium badge appeal.
