Even Nissan was surprised by the success of its Qashqai crossover vehicle. Fully half a million cars found homes between 2007 and the end of 2009, with every last one of them rolling out of Nissan's Sunderland plant. Quite why the Qashqai hit such a nerve with the British public is something rival car manufacturers have studied at length in a bid to replicate. Many have tried, and that includes many with even bigger budgets than Nissan, but none has succeeded.
Since its launch, the Qashqai has been gradually and continually improved, and the models we look at here are those sold immediately after the range's facelift in 2010. Picking up a decent used example is easy. Getting the right car at the right price may well be a little less straightforward.
History
The crossover genre didn't exist when Nissan launched the Qashqai in 2007. Nissan was in a period of transition, switching from a conventional range of saloons and hatchbacks to one that underscored its expertise in building 4x4s, sports cars and niche city vehicles. The Qashqai was just another vehicle to add to its 4x4 portfolio, looking to offer a car for every conceivable taste. In fact most of the Qashqai models sold weren't all-wheel drive at all, a trick that wasn't particularly novel either.
Where the stars did align was in offering a smartly styled car at a very keen price which offered the styling cues of a 4x4 with the driving characteristics of a hatchback and admirably low running costs. If ever there was a case of right place, right time, the Qashqai epitomises it. Sales showed very little sign of tailing off as the car entered its fourth year on sale, yet Nissan realised that it needed to freshen the proposition before buyers got bored. To that end it introduced a raft of styling updates, dynamics changes, interior quality improvements and enhanced the vehicle's efficiency. Here we take a look at these facelifted models through to model year 2011.
