this man its absolutely a pro when it comes to doing a review , so outstanding and professional, on a scale of 1-10 he is 20 great job Mr. Dave 😉😉😉😉😉😉

I have lived with my Nissan Qashqai Tekna+ for just over a year now. I can honestly say it has been a real joy. I have done over 12,000 miles and everyone of those miles have been comfortable and enjoyable. I have never felt it wanting on power and performance. My best return on MPG was 51. That was on a 40 mile journey. Obviously, if you have a heavy right foot, can expect an average of around 40 mpg, perhaps even lower around town. I think that is the same with all ICE petrol cars. When it comes to motorway driving, just set the pro pilot and relax. The Qashqai really looks after you. I have the 20 inch alloys and the multi link suspension. The only time it gets a little fidgety is when you are going slow over a particularly rough surface. However, it is never uncomfortable. When it comes to handling, it is very poised and a great deal of fun on twisty roads. I keep the weight of my steering in sport mode, rather than Auto. It gives just enough weight and feel, and unless you are very feeble, it is perfectly adequate even around town. Even after a year of reasonable use. Everything still looks fresh and new. I imagine after a good valet, it would look brand-new. Because of the 360 cameras. The chances of curbing the 20in wheels is very slim. I have found the cameras invaluable and wondered how I got on without them in the past. Although it is quite a big car, it doesn’t feel it, when it comes to finding parking spaces it can fit into. So in conclusion, is it worth the money? Considering what you get, especially in the Tekna+ Specification. Yes it is, compared to its premium rivals, that will charge you an arm and a leg for all the options the Tekna+ has, on top of its initial purchase price, which undoubtedly will be higher in the first place. Also it is as close as an all British car, as you can buy these days. Yes, it is a Japanese company. But the Qashqai was designed, developed and built in the UK. It really is a very solid unit. Nothing has come loose, so still no squeaks or rattles. Everything, including the technology has worked flawlessly for me. I am 65 and have had many cars, even premium makes. I can honestly say, my Qashqai Is by far the best I have ever owned.

Great review Dave, one of the best I have seen - I am about to pickup my new 2022 Qashqai in New Zealand near the end of October - The Qashqai's for Oceania are made in Japan, I am getting what is marketed here as the ST-L version, mid range - Have to say reviews like your have helped me in my decision, although having owned a 2019 2nd generation Qashqai that I was very happy with, I hope I don't expect too much - The improved technology is something I am looking forward too -

Love how the humor was just thrown around 😂so effortless lovely delivery. Great review 👏

A really excellent clear review covering all areas of the car. I have just received leasing quotes and am ordering an N Connecta in Ceramic with Xtronic and glass roof tomorrow. Liked and subscribed. Can’t wait for September.

This is what you call a thorough review

Another competent and informative review. Thanks.

Good review. We have just ordered the Tekna ePower version. Very nice to drive. Along with all the other technology it has a 360° camera. Brilliant aid to tight parking spaces. Can't wait until it arrives. 🙂🙂👍👍

Great video!! I Just ordered a 2023 tekna! Looking forward to delivery date now after watching this 🙌🏻

Great review. We've ordered the n connecta in magnetic blue due in April.

I guess the 19" wheels would have mellowed the comfort experience (as they did for me). One part I was missing in the review was the wind-screen diplay functions (which are awsome: Speed Signs, Calls, Music, Navigation directives, ProPilot state) especially along with ProPilot functions: Really impressed me. But ... really... greate review! Keep on.

Great review , first one I have seen from this guy well done. Just wish that when cars are reviewed it’s always the top model .

You were right. I love my new Qashqai N-connecta 👌🏾💯%

Great review as usual Dave Nothing of importance omitted Well done

I found this review really helpful, thank you.

We looked at the sportage , kuga, tucson and tiguan before deciding on the qashqai - have just ordered a tekna e-power in ceramic grey with black roof, delivery around September I hope. Great review btw.

I saw your review and went for tekna xtronic great review, spot on😅

I recently had a test drive in this new Tekna+, and currently have a 16 plate Qashqai Tekna. I think the way Nissan have changed things up in this version works for me, especially the HUD. I feel very lucky to be able to afford one and plan on getting the front of the car wrapped in paint protection film (PPF). Where I live the rural roads are terrible for stone chips and the paint on the front of my 16 plate Qashqai is very thin and show the battle scars. My previous cars (the last one listed first) were a 65 plate Fiesta S, Toyota iQ and an automatic 2.0 petrol Mondeo, thirsty. My days of being able to climb into a 'car' set low down are gone, at least without some pain, the very reason I bought our first Qashqai. Great video Dave, first one of yours I watched, and subscribed.

I ordered the Tekna based on this. I thought the car was perfect after a test drive, the kit inside is incredible. The VED goes up from £165 to £650 for the Tekna+, was not bothered about the sound system but the massaging seat was tempting ! Thanks Dave !

hello my name is george b (athens-GR)..I am really happy watching your video ,your nissan experience ..i have the first gen (o8/2007) 140hp 4x4..after 17 years i must say that i definitely love my car ..no problems ..even when i had to puss its limits it was just perfect ..on the other hand i decided to sell it..i have order the new one n-connecta 157 4x4 mlid hyrid..i will have to wait tiil july 24 ..they told me that the car will be different ,in the way it looks now..i have done a test drive but still i cant say nothing till i got mine..another engine ,new electronic systems..your opinios really makes me think positive..thank you very much..😊

How good is this guys review 😊

Love your review Bear, you are patient and very informative. I was looking into the Corolla Cross gas+hybrid model but will check this out when it comes to my city (not in U.K.)

Thanks for a really good review. I am thinking of getting the mild hybrid 2022 version on a private leasing option for 36 months. The only worry I got was that you mentioned the steering is a bit sensitive, but maybe that´s not a big problem once you get used to it.

The review was on point, as always! But this or the kuga fhev? First!

Excellent review❤❤

Great review thank you.

This man is extremely underrated

Great review

thank you I enjoyed watching that!

great review nice and straight

I’m on my 3rd Qashqai…..I’ve had all the Exec cars over the years, now grown out of those, these Qashqai cars are just brilliant and great value for money on 3 year lease plan low deposit, low monthly payments. I’m going to trade my Mk 2 N-Connecta for a new 2023 Mk 3 Tekna. Ps I wouldn’t recommend a diesel/manual, I found petrol/auto are the very very best model to go for ❤😊

Nice review. The auto shift is only for the 158Bhp engine. Also, there is no 48 Volt hybrid system. It is a 12V starter/generator.

Point on review...after a Passat B8, C Class with Airmatic and Seat Leon with DCC, I think the suspension/comfort is better on the Nissan...not as good as some, but still really good...especially compared to the C Class we had with Air suspension, which really have been a dud...or the über hard Passat.. or the loud and rattling DCC of the Leon. I absolutely enjoy the relaxed drive of the Qashqai every day. Also the interior is great...not Audi quality but less teutonic and sober as some vw group rivals, and just a friendly relaxing place. The use of physical buttons for e.g. the climate control is a huge plus point compared to other rivals.

Now you have to do a review for the Sportage! I would love to see the comparison to this. Great review mate. Quick question does the glass roof open? I thought the tekna plus has a opening roof. Or am I mistaken!

Хороший обзор, уделено внимание всяким мелким деталям 👍

Great review and I will probably get one but Jesus Dave dump them short's I thought you were going to take off in the beginning with that wind !

Great review, I’m very tall and would like to see if it’s compatible for a tall person, I currently drive a Seat Tarraco

Hi Mr Dave I like this car ,do you have other colours beside this four colours that I have seen.

Decent car

Going to have a look see tomorrow at e power 👍 had a 2014 mk2 brake calipers failed on that and it would roll when parked haha

I believe boot space in new 2022 model is 504 litres not 436 litres (mild hybrid)

I have just ordered the new Nissan Qashqai Tekna +, with the new 12 inch infotainment screen. You can now order a normal Tekna, with the Bose sound system. So you can get smaller 19in alloys. However you don't get the multi link suspension on the rear, as you do with the Tekna +. You of course can buy smaller alloys if you wish. The car I test drove felt very smooth and quiet to drive even on the large 20-inch wheels. Might be a different story on a rough country road though.

What would be the benefit of changing my Lexus NX 300h for this?

As I'm sure you are aware the Qashqai is a huge hit as a motability car. My wife is in the scheme, and we have the 2020 Tekna 1.3 158BHP with the DCT gearbox. Just a quick question if you have the time to answer of course, will she notice a big difference between the DCT and the Xtronic box? Great review, I enjoyed your presentation very much. I hope by the time she is due to get her next new car (November 2023) things as a whole, will be much improved. Take care

I've just ordered m 5th qashqai, I've got the tekna+ at the moment but ordered a tekna, the best interior for tekna and tekba + is the light grey and black

We just ordered the n-connecta, with glass roof manual box, as wasn’t sure about the auto box, hope we done right

And the Qashqai has a cruise control or not ?

What's better xrv vs qashqai

Is the auto box on this still a CVT ?

qashqai or xtrail? which 1 better ?

Is the boot space not 500l in the qashqai?

It would seem that you guys get all the good stuff, transmission and power train options, and North America gets all the CVT poop. Please send me a six speed manual transmission..... I almost don't care what motor it's bolted to.

Qashqai for me please

That's not what coasting means. Coasting is when you disengage the gears, either by pushing down the clutch in a manual or putting an automatic into neutral, whilst moving. It causes an enormous loss of control, which is why it's advised against and will cause a failure if you do it during a driving test. Letting off the gas when you've reached your desired speed is just a normal part of driving.

Good review. I actually DON'T like its new look, especially the shape of the rear quarter light windows. And the 20 inch alloys just look ridiculous IMO. I think you were pretty generous with your praise considering this is a brand new model with just one (not new) engine and no diesel option What is that all about?

Digital wood sounds 18+ 😂

I've got a brand new Quashquai but I will not buy another. Everytime you start the car you have to accept or decline a disclaimer which is incredibly annoying and dangerous as half the time you are already driving. I have spoken with the dealer and this can't be removed.

Fantastic car I just got the qashqi e-power tekna awesome to drive. However my complaint is no CD player. I listened to CDs they sound much better than mp3 and so on so I would not get Bose sound system as it still doesn't have a CD player 😡😡

My partner had one and it broke down three times in eighteen months. This resulted in an offensive letter from the dealership, and then it was sold. We will never set foot in a Nissan dealership again. Plus, the over- light dead steering was awful.

the bose sound system comes on tekna as well

Why oh why oh why, do they fit such large wheels, and therefore such low profile (elastic band-like) tyres, to these cars. They might help you go round corners a bit quicker, but at the expense of comfort, noise, vibration, tyre cost and fuel economy.

No diesel - not buying.

Petrol engines drink like fish, combined with suv body there aweful they have no torque and when you put you foot down to get it moving they drink.

Don't forget to remind everyone that some / most of the extras you're talking about are specific to the Tecna plus. The model most will not buy, they'll go for the N Connecta.
