NEW Nissan Qashqai 2021 review: the crossover king is BACK
Nissan kickstarted the whole crossover craze in 2007, but other family SUVs such as the VW Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson have since joined the fray. Has Nissan done enough to put the Qashqai back on top?
It certainly seems so on paper. The new model has been drastically overhauled both inside and out to make it not only a little bit roomier on the inside, but it also feels considerably more premium. Quilted faux leather seats, Japanese-inspired wood trim and a better tech are among the headline features, along with mild hybrid engines and a bigger boot. But the Qashqai faces stiff competition from a host of rivals, so it’ll have to really impress top keep its spot at the head of the crossover pile.

I ship these out of the UK from the Port of Tyne, love this new model. No one is noticing the REAL air vents on the front wheels/bumper.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review 😄. One of my favourite New Family SUVs
It feels like the Qashqai is back on top, I think the buyers will like how high tech it is, and the new design is very good too. I think the best version will be the ePower. The Visia is so basic I'm surprised they offer it, it's even got steel wheels.
We are in Egypt taking the same SPECs of the Sunderland production I’m afraid from the CVTs and the MH car what do you think
Hey. I am waiting for my new 2021 tekna plus in September. I already watched lot of reviews and video's. But no body make video in night time. For bater look in night drive experience and interior lights, specially headlights. If is it possible please make one video for Nissan Fans. Thanks.
How is the engine noise insulation? Does it scream in the cabin?
I bought the new Qashqai. It is an extraordinary car and I will stay true to this brand.
Whats the bose sound system like?
I have also questions about how much the capacity of the Petrol tank, automatic mirrors folding
I have a 70 plats 160 bhp DCT tank takes 12 gal yes the mirrors fold love it 58mpg motorway 48mpg town it go's too 200 lbs toque in a lightweight SUV is a hoot
Between this and the new Kia Sportage / Hyundai Tucson / Skoda Karoq or the slightly "older" Ford Kuga / Honda CR-V / Toyota RAV4 - which one would you recommend? My top 3 atm are: 2022 Qashqai 2022 Sportage 2022 Tucson Is there another family SUV that I'm missing? One that's below the 40k mark generally speaking.
Mazda CX5, but I test drove one of those and ordered the Qashqai E Power Techna.
looks good and is nicely specked at top end with a near on 35 k p tag , sadly this so far is basic petrol tech engines. Big fopar though on the rear bumper , did the design team go for a long wine filled lunch ? AS in the what i can only describe as a cheap largish looking plastic cap . It reminds me of a SAFETY transporter cap from factory to showroom . Take it off please NISSAN , hideous compared to all the other new tweaks and replace it with a design in keeping with the car and price tag
Please have full factual info when reviewing… He states it’s first time qashqai comes with diamond cut alloys! I have the top of the range tekna qashqai that’s 6 yrs old that came with 19” diamond cut alloys as standard with these models when purchased. Apart from that I love the new shape qashqai and will look to make a smart purchase in a year or two when the price is reduced down considerably!
CVT gear box, really 🤦🏻♂️ Iv got the 69 plate tekna DIGT160 with the DCT gear box. One of the smoothest gear boxes Around.
The new CVT of the DCT all day long. I can’t get my head round how when you put your foot on the accelerator you get nothing but then all of a sudden, a knee jerk reaction and your flung 10 meters forward in a split second. Take the Qashqai for a drive and you’ll see what a mean…. Seamless
Well I shortlisted the Nissan qahqai
Nissan with Renault engine
As a Nissan sales advisor….. I’m shocked how inaccurate some of the information given in this is…. The boot is 507 litres. The alloy wheels have been on Qashqais for the best part of 10 years. What is new is that there Tekna+ (showcased in this video) supports 20inch none continues alloys wheels, the largest alloy wheel in the hole segment. Oh and the power output on the engine is 140 or 158 bhp…..Just the name a few. How don’t get me wrong, the fella has done a stand up job talking about this absolutely incredible new Qashqai…. Which I’m waiting on delivery of my own…. He needs to at least get the full facts and figure right. But, be under no illusion, this is the best looking car in its class. It is an incredible drive and the Improvements made to the CVT gearbox means that gear changes are seamless and quiet, not like the DCT which was all over the shop. The improved insulation around the wheel arches and bonnet means the drive is quieter then ever before with very little road noise. In summary…. If your going to talk about a car…. Get the facts right. This is by the far the best Qashqai to date and unquestionably #1 in its segment for a reason.
Nissan quotes 504 litres on its own website. The numbers I quote are brake horsepower (bhp), which is different to horsepower (hp). 140hp = 138bhp, 158hp = 156bhp. I’m always open to criticism but what you’re saying doesn’t stack up.
The “best looking” bit is subjective. Nice though.
.. really.. really.. really... ?
“When I am out on a shoot”? I stopped watching at that point
External styling is an angular fussy mess, compared to the good looking original mk 2, which I own.
I find it ugly compared to the previous one, fussy design has lost all the coordination and elegance of the previous one. Lexus made the same mistake. I don't think these angular computer aided designs age well. It will however be a reliable spaceship.
