Good all round car

published

I brought this car new in 2016 and have had no problems.
It has now done 27,000 Kms.



It is a very economical car with the CVT transmission and performs well both in city and highway driving..

Very happy to date.

1000km in, all good.

published

Car was a great price, has most of the features we wanted, and drives well.
Wife misses the automatic headlights of her last VW, and is still getting used to the parking sensors beeping at her all the time but no serious complaints so far.
Haven't had to test out the automatic braking but nice that it comes even on the base model.

Just OK

published

The in-dash system screen is small and Nissan connect applications doesn’t work in Australia. There is no reverse sensor but the camera is ok, although the screen is small. The Running costs looks good. The driving experience is also good. But it’s a normal a good family car, the space is limited.

Love my diesel ts model so much!!! Such a good family car

published

I bought a 2016 ex display diesel model through my salary sacrifice for the new bubba to be and to upgrade my very old Suzuki! It’s so economical on diesel costing only $65 to fill the tank and I’m getting at least 800km to a tank!!! 900 if I do highway driving! It’s fits the pram easily in the back with groceries and I love the reversing camera as I can really park this car anywhere in the tightest of parks! The electronic side mirrrors and Bluetooth are a luxury and make phone calls clear and easy to do! It’s a really lovely car to drive! Love the service you get from Nissan dealers too with capped priced servicing and Nissan road side warranty!

Great car and very fuel efficient

published

The driving experience is very good and very smooth, very great handling experience and since this car has quite low cc so it doesn't produce loud noise. The interior is very good and the legroom for the person who sit in the front is very big. Leg room might be a little limited for those who sit in the back. Hasn't got any problem with this car, has been using this car for 3 years

The Perfect Cross Over Car

published

After driving an awesome Suzy Swift for 4 years and having it written off by a careless driver I went out and bought a white Nissan QASHQAI. Car has plenty of cabin room for 4 adults and plenty of boot room for luggage. It has a zippy 2.0 Litre engine and CVT. Purchased as demo 2017 from Burwood Nissan. I recommend you at least test drive one. The Perfect Crossover!

Great small Suv

published

We love our Qashqai, Heaps of Room and comfy seats. A tank of fuel cost me about $55 to $60 a fortnight which is great considering the cost of fuel now. The only thing that could be better is the suspension when you drive on uneven surface it not as sooth,

Great small suv

published

We love our Qashqai! Very smooth and easy to drive.
We test drove a few cars of similar size but this was our top pick and reasonably priced.
The reversing camera making parking a breeze, i cant live without it.
A tank a fuel cost me about $60 to fill and can last me up to 2 weeks when im just running the kids around locally every day.
The only downside is that its now feeling a little small with two kids in carseats and a big pram in the back, but we make it work.

Smoothe rider

published

Driving my Qashkai feels smoothe. It turns so much better than my Tuscon and fuel efficiency is doing rally well. However my seat belt latch is awkward and it has no light on the passengers makeup mirror. parking is much easier now I have a rear camera but it doesn't beep so u have to make sure u watch your screen:)

The main reason for buying this car was that it could seat my family and extended family, so that when we went on holidays, we could all jump into this car, instead of driving two cars. It handles well, making for a smooth driving experience. The seats are comfy and legroom is good. So far, it performs well on the road.

Great quality SUV for the price

published

The Nissan Qashqai is a wonderfully versatile SUV that is well built and a peach to drive with very little road noise.

There is plenty of leg and headroom and so far (7 months) it has been totally reliable.

Fuel usage is good, but not great. Servicing costs are amongst the best.

The only criticism I have is poor front visibility in the ST version, but this can be overcome by buying either the TI or getting after market front sensors.

If you are considering an SUV, please take the Qashqai for a drive.

Ideal Size And Comfort

published

Looked at and drove the qashqai, mazda cx3, and honda hrv. The qashqai is the leader in space, comfort, quietness and handling and performance, it is like no other.. Have had it for three months now and it is superb. It handles curves and roundabouts exceptionally well. Well done nissan

Almost there...

published

Like our little qashqai. Great features, can't go past Nissan's 1% finance. Lots of little features that i like. Had it back to the dealer a few times at first, but all issues were fixed. We have an auto and the gearbox is very smooth. Cruise control not so much though. Unfortunately the car is like a tin can. Leaning against it leaves an indent. I'm very particular about where I park and I've got dings. I've not experienced this with my Forester or Corollas. Other than that, great little car :)

Great To Drive And Good On Fuel For An SUV

published

Great to drive, good on fuel (7-9l/100km). No body roll, handles and looks great. Was perfect for the first 12 months. Recent random shudder has started possibly in the transmission when accelerating around 30-50km/h. Nissan did a transmission software update but it still has not rectified the problem. Hoping for a resolution from Nissan shortly!
Update: CVT transmission replaced by Nissan under warranty. Super good service from Unley Nissan - they even gave us a brand new Qashqai for a week while we waited. So far it appears fixed!
