Generations

When the Nissan Qashqai first arrived in 2007, it changed the SUV market. As the "first" crossover, it was smaller than a typical SUV, with more efficiency and a unique style. Built in the UK, in Sunderland, Nissan has sold more than 5 million Qashqai models since its introduction, making it the most popular vehicle ever made in the UK. Now in its third generation, it's more up-to-date than ever, providing a fantastic mix of value and features.

Third Generation (2021-present)

For the third generation, Nissan made the Qashqai slightly larger again. New powertrains were offered, including mild hybrids, lowering emissions and running costs simultaneously. Nissan also released a new light signature that included LED daytime running lights and slimmer LEDs under them.

Updated technology was also added, including a larger 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Available features include the new 10.8-inch head-up display that projects relevant data onto the windscreen.

Second Generation (2014-2020)

Nissan increased the size of the Qashqai during this generation to ensure maximum interior comfort. With available LED headlights, the Qashqai was competing against the premium segment, as most crossovers of its time didn't offer this equipment.

In 2017, Nissan upgraded the ProPilot safety equipment and added a new trim level to the top of the tier (Tekna+). A 2018 refresh changed some of the powertrain offerings, increasing the towing capacity to 2,000kg.

First Generation (2007-2014)

Nissan's goal when creating the Qashqai was to take a typical SUV design and make it more compact, affordable and agile. Even though it had a higher seating position, bigger wheels and a larger suspension than a car, it still provided the same ride quality. It instantly became a success.

In 2010, Nissan offered a slight facelift to add new front and rear lights and improved interior materials. Then, in 2011, some minor changes were made to the engine lineup.
