So… what is the significance of the Qashqai’s name? As it turns out, Qashqai refers to Turkic speaking nomads who settled in Iran in the Middle Ages who were famous for being the only tribe ever to defeat the conqueror Tamerlane. In effect, Qashqai means “conqueror of conquerors” and in that respect, the name is absolutely perfect.
Let’s get right to why Nissan feels that their Qashqai compact crossover is the only intelligent choice in its category and how it’s been designed to “conquer conquerors”. Here’s a list of the most impressive and attractive attributes this small “ute” has to offer:
GOOD LOOKS THAT TAKE YOU FAR
Style over substance? Not Qashqai®. Qashqai’s aerodynamic design not only looks good but helps make it more efficient than the competition. With a combined fuel economy rating of 8.1 L/100KM Qashqai makes sure your money goes as far as it possibly can.
SMARTER THAN THE REST
Drive like a pro. Intelligent All-wheel Drive knows the difference between cruising and cornering, on-road and off. Giving you extra grip when you need it. And, maximum efficiency when you don’t.
TIGHT SPOT? NO PROBLEM.
Squeeze into that spot with your pride and rims intact. Around View® Monitor has four cameras for a virtual 360° view with an audible alert to let you know something is moving near the vehicle.
ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT
You can’t control the walking texters, the driving makeup artists, or the ball-chasing dogs. But Qashqai® will help keep an eye out for things you may miss. Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection will engage the brakes to help you avoid a collision or reduce the speed of the impact.
NEVER FLAT. PERFECTLY FULL.
No more guessing. With a beep, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Easy-Fill Tire Alert lets you know your tires are filled with the optimal pressure keeping you in control and your fuel mileage filled just right.
NO CROUCHING ZONE
Qashqai® lets you know what it feels like to have enough room. Whether you’re small or tall, with 1006 mm of headroom, you’ll enjoy the luxury of not feeling cramped whenever you are on the road.
HOT WHEEL, HOT HANDS
The cold is no match for the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. With a push of a button, your hands will be toasty warm.
ROOM FOR MORE
Hit the road with all your friends and their stuff. With an impressive 1730 L of space, there’s enough room for everyone so you don’t have to choose between passengers and cargo.
…AND EVEN MORE
The Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System in Qashqai’s rear cargo area easily adjusts to multiple configurations. That’s enough space for your day-to-day essentials and your weekend gear as well, making Qashqai feel tailor-made to any lifestyle.
The bottom line is that Qashqai delivers far more bang for your buck. Still not convinced? Click the TEST DRIVE button below for a complete tour and road test of Nissan’s intelligent compact crossover. We think you’ll be glad you did.
