The Nissan Qashqai
The Qashqai has been given the really impressive title of Auto Express Car of the Past 30 Years! This amazing accolade pays homage to the revolutionary design that has very much paved the way for the emergence and development of the crossover segment.
Steve Fowler, Editor of Auto Express, said:
“The Nissan Qashqai was, and still is, a car that offered all the practicality of a conventional compact SUV, but with a footprint the same as a family car. This Nissan not so much tore up the rulebook, but sent it into oblivion. A successor to the Almera hatchback, the Qashqai ripped the SUV market wide open, creating a new segment of the market – and we’ve not looked back since.”
The Qashqai was last updated in 2017 and is currently the UK’s third best selling car in 2018! The Nissan plant in Sunderland has produced more than 3 million Qashqai models, and in recent years these have included the new Intelligent Driving updates! These include ProPILOT which is Nissan’s advanced driver-assist technology! The aim in ProPILOT is to alleviate some of the more mundane elements to driving. It looks to reduce fatigue and stress and therefore improve safety and enhance overall control and confidence.
