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, 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 as an E-Power full hybrid, where the petrol engine acts as a generator and the electric motor drives the wheels. A comprehensive 2024 facelift introduced a new front end and interior updates, whilst the 2025 E-Power upgrade delivers more power and improved efficiency.

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, particularly in the E-Power variant, which delivers smooth, linear acceleration and impressive fuel economy of around 50mpg in real-world driving. Mild-hybrid models achieve approximately 35mpg, whilst the E-Power's claimed 60mpg is ambitious. Running costs are competitive, though high-spec Tekna and Tekna+ trims exceed £40,000, triggering premium vehicle tax rates. The Qashqai maintains its traditional appeal through strong practicality, comfort, ease-of-use, and excellent value for money.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-equipped SUV with modern technology, those prioritising smooth, effortless driving, and buyers wanting strong resale value.

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 eyeing the premium high-spec trims.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Qashqai if: You're seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-equipped family SUV with modern technology, prioritising smooth and effortless driving, or wanting strong resale value.

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

Competitive Position: The Nissan Qashqai is an excellent all-rounder in the family SUV class, maintaining its position as one of the UK's best-selling cars. Whilst the Kia Sportage edges ahead with a five-star expert rating, the Qashqai matches its rivals on user satisfaction and value. It excels in practicality, comfort, and technology, with the innovative E-Power hybrid offering a compelling alternative to traditional powertrains. The Ford Kuga and Volkswagen Tiguan are worthy competitors, but the Qashqai's blend of style, refinement, and ease-of-use makes it a standout choice for families prioritising overall usability and satisfaction.
