Vehicle details
Meet the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi N-Tec+ 5dr Xtronic — a practical, comfortable family SUV that built its reputation on doing everything well without trying to be flashy.
Under the bonnet, you get a 1.6-litre dCi diesel engine producing around 130 bhp and a strong 320 Nm of torque. That means it feels relaxed in normal driving and has plenty of pulling power for motorway cruising or carrying a full load. Paired with the Xtronic automatic gearbox, it prioritises smoothness over sportiness, making it an easy, stress-free drive in traffic and on longer journeys.
This Qashqai is all about comfort and usability. The suspension is tuned to soak up UK road imperfections, so bumps and potholes are handled calmly rather than harshly. It’s not exciting to drive, but it is very easy to live with, which is exactly why so many people chose it.
Inside, the N-Tec+ trim gives you a well-equipped cabin for its era. You typically get a panoramic glass roof, upgraded infotainment with navigation, a reversing camera system with 360-degree “around view” functionality, dual-zone climate control, and a clean, logical layout. It feels more like a relaxed lounge than a driver-focused cockpit.
Practicality is one of its biggest strengths. There’s space for five adults, a 430-litre boot that handles family life easily, and a high seating position that gives you a confident view of the road. It’s the kind of car that just fits into daily routines without fuss.
On the road, the CVT-style Xtronic gearbox is smooth but not fast-shifting, so acceleration feels steady rather than sharp. It’s built for comfort, not performance, which suits the character of the car.
If you want an SUV that’s dependable, comfortable, and easy to own rather than exciting, the Qashqai N-Tec+ Xtronic is exactly that kind of honest, no-nonsense family car.
