mon a sight on Britains roads is the Nissan Qashqai that most people can picture what it looks like as soon as its name is mentioned. Nestled between the Juke and X-Trail in the Japanese brands line-up, the Qashqai successfully appeals to family car buyers by being inexpensive to run, well-equipped, reliable and still looking sharp, despite this second-generation model nearing the end of its production run.When the original Qashqai debuted in 2007, it wasnt the first small family SUV, but it helped to define and popularise the genre, a trend which continued with the Mk2. With greater spaciousness and a manding driving position than youll find in more traditional hatchbacks like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf, and arguably more stylish - although less practical - than pact MPV such as the Renault Scenic, the appeal of the Qashqai - and its ilk - is seemingly irresistable to family car buyers.In 2017, Nissan gave the Qashqai an extensive facelift with a sharper look and an interior that felt slightly higher quality, too. Its well-equipped in any trim level, but higher-spec N-Connecta, Tekna and Tekna+ e with a vast kit list and a more upmarket feel to the roomy cabin. All models have plenty of sound deadening material meaning its a quiet place to be, with a relaxed feel on the move. Luggage space with the rear seats in use stands at 430 litres - somewhat smaller than many rivals - but the boot floor has a clever trick up its sleeve: its made up of two panels, which can be repositioned to create either a deeper boot or a totally flat load area when the rear seats are folded down. Theres also space under the boot floor to stow the parcel shelf when not in use - very useful. Four adults can easily fy in the Qashqai with plenty of space for heads and limbs, but a fifth passenger occupying the central rear seat will inevitably make it feel snug - its a pact car, despite its height. Its modest size also makes it easy to manoeuvre and park, particularly in tight urban confines. Many models are fitted with parking cameras and sensors to make it even less of a challenge. With safe, assured handling and admirable fort, which remains pliant even when specified with large alloy wheels (up to 19 inches are available), the Qashqai is easy to drive. Added to the Qashqai range in 2018 was a suite of driver assistance and safety systems dubbed ProPilot.
