It’s clear why earlier this year, the #CityProof Nissan Qashqai was named winner of the Compact Family Car category at the fourth annual Cars.co.za Consumer Awards.
To compete, the vehicle needed to be priced between R300 000 and R400 000, have an anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, a minimum of four airbags, split rear seats, a service plan and air-conditioning.
The Nissan Qashqai more than excelled in each of these categories.
There is ample boot storage space to lug school bags back and forth every day, as well as large instruments or hockey sticks for extra-mural activities.
And if you are transporting something larger, the 430-litre boot increases to 680 litres with the rear seats folded down.
The Nissan Qashqai 1.2 Turbo Acenta Auto, the model that won the category, has six airbags and Isofix child seat anchors, as well as active driver support systems.
It also has stability control, brake assist, and electronic brake distribution. And the Qashqai has a 5-star EuroNCAP rating.
That’s thanks in part to NIM features like forward emergency brake, blind spot intervention, cross traffic alert and forward collision warning that make this ride all the more safe for the family.
The Qashqai’s ride, handling and steering have been improved in the 2018 version to incorporate customer feedback, resulting in sublime ride comfort and a calmer body motion.
Significant improvements have been made throughout the new Qashqai to improve noise, vibration and harshness levels and they include more sound insulation material, additional sealing and the rear door glass is thicker to improve rear passenger experience.
There is also less engine noise thanks to powertrain calibration improvements.
The #CityProof Nissan Qashqai provides a roomy experience with a deep cubbyhole and multiple cupholders so that everyone’s snacks are in reach on long road trips.
The combined fuel consumption is 6.2 L/100 km paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), meaning that the Qashqai will get you there for less.
Driver and passengers will also be entertained for hours as there is an all-new seven-speaker BOSE Premium sound system with tweeters, woofers and a digital amplifier in the compact family car in the Tekna model.
