Few cars sell in bigger numbers than the NissanUK Qashqai, but does it still hold a winning hand? 🤔 Our chief photographer has been living with one to find out:
, and doesn’t have the latter’s flexibility; avail yourself of the Karoq’s clever Varioflex feature and you can slide the rear seats to and fro to balance luggage space against passenger room.
A smooth ride is one of the Qashqai’s highlights, though. It left me feeling pretty fresh and relaxed at the end of long motorway runs, such as from West London to Helmsley, North Yorkshire, and it fares pretty well at lower speeds and on cratered urban roads, too. However, while it’s a painless way to get to your destination, it doesn’t do much to entertain you en route.
And speaking of getting to your destination, the sat-nav often frustrated, getting me close to my target but not quite there. Yes, the standard fitmeant I had Google Maps or Waze to fall back on, but it would make life easier if I didn't have to. I will miss some of the Qashqai’s more thoughtful features, though. The way that the washer fluid is dispensed via the blades themselves rather than through a nozzle on the bonnet seems a particularly effective way of cleaning the screen, and I enjoyed not having to remove a smelly petrol cap when topping up; thanks to a clever one-way valve, you just pop the filler door open and stick the nozzle in the hole, as it were.
Overall, I can understand why so many choose a Qashqai. It’s a great all-rounder at a reasonable price, and it’s smart enough to make you feel proud to have it parked outside your house. A sound choice if you want versatile family transport. It’s just a shame it isn’t more fun to drive, and that's a shortcoming that I'm planning to resolve with my next car.
