Regularly topping the sales charts, the Nissan Qashqai has long been one of the UK’s favourite crossovers to lease. Spacious, comfortable, and well-priced, the new-generation Qashqai has made it even harder for the competition. The economical engines and various trims on offer cover just about every base.
Midsize crossover SUVs don’t come much more accomplished than this, so check out our available Nissan Qashqai leasing deals today.
It has sharp new looks.
Impressive interior tech on all trims.
It’s spacious yet compact.
The new Nissan Qashqai is slightly bigger on the outside and this has added 28mm of rear legroom to an already generously-dimensioned interior. Meanwhile, boot space has grown from 430 litres to a much more impressive 504 litres with the rear seats in place. With them folded, you’ll get access to 860 litres of loadspace. It is worth noting, though, that both the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Karoq offer more boot space.
There is a wireless phone charger in the centre console, and 2 cupholders just ahead of the front armrests. Additional bottles and smaller items can be stored in the sizeable front door pockets. The rear doors have an extremely wide opening angle and front seatback pockets, as well as deep storage compartments in each rear door which cater for the passengers’ storage needs.
The base 138hp 1.3-litre engine, as well as the more powerful 156hp motor, should both offer around 46mpg on the combined cycle, although official figures have yet to be released. A mild-hybrid system is used on both to reduce emissions and enhance stop-start ability, and is fitted to the 6-speed manual and automatic transmission cars.
A 187hp E-Power model is due for release. This model will use a petrol engine to power an electric motor, which in turn will drive the front wheels. No economy figures are available here either, but this should be the trim to opt for if maximum efficiency is required.
The Nissan Qashqai has sold more than a million units since it was introduced in 2007. That’s an impressive statistic which reinforces its continued ability to cater to what customers want out of a crossover SUV.
There is no shortage of competitors in this hotly contested segment, from the capable Skoda Karoq to the pricey but spacious Volkswagen Tiguan. Despite this, the Nissan Qashqai still rises to the top of any shortlist, thanks to its all-round competitiveness and great value for money.
We’ve put the Qashqai up against its rival the Kia Sportage in our head-to-head article to see how they matched up, with the Qashqai winning the duel.
The Qashqai has 504 litres of boot space with the rear seats up and 860 litres with them down. Not class-leading, but not too far off either.
The Nissan Qashqai is available in Visia, Acenta, Premium, N-Connecta, Premiere Edition, Tekna, and Tekna+ trims.
Higher spec trims can be had with all-wheel drive and even the entry-level front-wheel-drive model has enough ground clearance for mild off-road excursions.
The latest Qashqai now offers more rear legroom and additional boot space, while it also has plenty of storage cubbies.
Few rivals in this category offer such a complete package. The Nissan Qashqai may not be the quickest or most spacious crossover SUV in its class, but it remains one of the best-balanced family-friendly vehicles to lease.
