2014 Nissan Qashqai Review
Having just bagged the What Car - Car of the Year 2014 award the new Nissan Qashqai is a firm favourite among UK buyers. One of the most popular colours is the new pearlescent white which replaces the previous solid white paint. Among the more popular colour choices is also new metallic ink blue and the new metallic bronze, but the No.1 choice at the moment is the white that has been revitalised in a pearlescent mix. The Nissan Qashqai has been a big hit in the UK because of its style and practicality, which contributed to the car winning the WHATCAR car of the year award.

Nissan Qashqai Interior
The Nissan Qashqai is well suited to family life, thanks to the Qashqai’s huge boot and spacious feeling interior. The rear seats don’t do anything particularly clever, but they do fold flat without the need to flip up the seatbases first. All model aprt from the entry-level Visia also come with a false boot floor, under which you can store your parcel shelf when you’re not using it.
Nissan’s latest Qashqai gets the basic things right, by having lots of adjustment to the driver’s seat and even the steering wheel. The driver interface and console are very easy to use. One drawback is that the thick front and rear pillars can obstruct view, and adjustable lumbar support only come with the top models.
