Nissan Qashqai 2021–2024 car dimensions: 4425 mm long, 1835 mm wide and 1625 mm high. Braked towing is 1,800 kg.
The cabin has a touchscreen from 7 to 12.3 inches depending on grade, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on most versions. Dual-zone climate control appears on mid and higher grades while base models use manual air conditioning. Cruise control is standard, often as intelligent adaptive form on better trims. Rear parking sensors and a reversing camera come standard on many grades, with front sensors and 360-degree views on higher ones. Automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning and lane keep assist form part of the standard safety suite across the range.
Boot space reaches 504 litres with seats up and expands to 1593 litres with the rear seats folded. Flexible boards allow multiple load configurations for everyday gear or larger items.
Braked towing capacity reaches up to 1800 kg on higher powered or all-wheel-drive versions, with unbraked at 750 kg. Payload sits around 500 kg based on gross vehicle mass minus kerb weight.
Multi-link rear suspension is available on select grades for better load handling. The setup suits light work or leisure towing but lacks dedicated heavy-duty cooling options.
The cabin offers a roomy feel with improved rear knee and shoulder space plus 85-degree rear door openings for easy access. Higher grades add dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, ambient lighting, quality leather-accented or quilted seats with massage function, and 8-way power adjustment with lumbar support and memory. A panoramic glass roof with electric sunshade appears on selected grades for an open feel. Heated front seats and steering wheel are available via packs or as standard on upper trims. Overall the interior feels practical and supportive for daily use and longer trips with good storage and USB ports.
Mild-hybrid 1.3 petrol or e-POWER hybrid powertrains available.
Euro NCAP 5-star rating (2021 test).
Standard safety includes multiple airbags with centre airbag, intelligent emergency braking with pedestrian/cyclist/junction assist, lane departure warning and prevention, blind spot warning and intervention, rear automatic braking, traffic sign recognition, and intelligent cruise control.
Service schedules follow manufacturer intervals that differ by powertrain and market.
Fuel options centre on the 1.3-litre mild-hybrid petrol in manual or Xtronic automatic form, plus the e-POWER series hybrid that drives the wheels electrically with a petrol generator. Efficiency varies by version and conditions, with e-POWER aimed at lower consumption in mixed use.
Servicing follows the official maintenance schedule for the J12 generation. Intervals are typically annual or at set mileage points that change between mild-hybrid and e-POWER models and by market. Use of genuine fluids and parts is specified for items such as coolant and filters. Capped-price or prepaid service plans are offered in some regions to control costs over the first services.
Safety is strong with a 5-star Euro NCAP result from the 2021 test under the then-current protocol, scoring highly for adult and child occupant protection plus safety assist. Every model carries a full set of airbags including a centre airbag, plus a wide range of active systems such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, blind-spot intervention and driver alertness monitoring. Higher grades add features like Around View Monitor and ProPILOT.
Keeping the car is straightforward with keyless entry and start on most grades, electric park brake with auto hold, and available hands-free power tailgate. Modular boot floors and luggage hooks help with load flexibility. Regular checks of brakes, tyres and fluids according to the schedule keep the vehicle reliable for everyday family use.
