Vehicle Type Compact crossover History/Description The Nissan Qashqai launched in Canada just a few years ago, and went on to be noted as a nicely equipped driving companion with a laid-back demeanour both around town and on the highway. While subcompact in size, the Qashqai can be equipped with all manner of safety and connectivity t

Forget what you’ve read about corporate American nomenclature, the new Nissan Qashqai is not a Rogue Lite™. So what is a Qashqai? Bit of a story there. Imagine the freedom of having all your essentials with you at all times and enjoying a life on the move. During a brief presentation on June 20, Brent Smith, Nissan Canada’s Chief Mark

Easy to say but hard to spell, Qashqai (pronounced cash-kye) is a word Nissan Canada hopes will be rolling off the tongues of compact crossover buyers come springtime. Arriving to duke it out with the likes of the Honda HR-V , Jeep Renegade and Chevy Trax , the 2017 Nissan Qashqai comes with quite the resume – it’s been the runaway segment lead

Is it possible for a company to have too many SUVs in their lineup? You’d think so, but evidently not. As consumer appetite continues to favour crossovers and SUVs over, well, everything else, it seems having a wide array of options to suit various needs is smart business. Nissan is well positioned for this onslaught with no fewer than six options,

Rare is it that a car makes it to North America with as much fanfare as did the 2017 Nissan Qashqai. I specify “North America” because it’s a crossover (or is it a compact crossover? Don’t they have the Juke for that? And don’t they have the Rogue to fill just the regular “crossover” bill?) that has been available all over the world, and selling in

Photography by Jacob Black and Justin Pritchard A manual makes everything better. Except when it doesn’t. Fuel economy and stop-and-go traffic are almost always better served by an automatic, but if you want to feel engaged and connected with your ride then the only real solution is a manual gearbox. It can make a sluggish car feel peppy, an SU

While it may feel like it was just yesterday that the Nissan Qashqai debuted, it was actually at the 2017 North American International Auto Show as a 2018 model. So, with model year 2020 on the horizon, it was time for a slight refresh to stay ahead of the curve. Included in said refresh is a new front-end appearance with redesigned headlamp len

If you’re reading this, you’re probably Canadian. So, have you heard about the Nissan Qashqa i? How the heck do you pronounce Qashqai, anyway? Nissan Canada thinks you have, either from reading about it on websites like this one or seeing them pass by while on vacation in Europe. You may even have rented one at some point. Our Ameri

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai and I were first introduced by way of a four-hour midnight road trip, which would conclude a long day spent in cars and airplanes as the last leg of a whirlwind 48-hour journey. Crossover SUV traction and flexibility, and every possible safety feature, wrapped up in a compact but upscale package. Within a few m

Nissan's Qashqai compact crossover looks set to become the brand's next North American cash cow as rumours swirl about a Detroit auto show debut next week. Qashqai (say cash-kai) is no newcomer: it's been around in Europe since 2007, a smaller version of the Rogue that went on sale here in 2008. The second-generation model hit overseas show

Nissan has just released pricing for their all-new Qashqai compact SUV . The newest Nissan fits in just under the 2017 Rogue in the lineup, so the price comes in just under that, with the Qashqai S starting at $19,998. The Qashqai (say cash-kai) is new to North America this year, but the three-quarter size Rogue has been available for a nearly d

Nissan has refreshed the Qashqai compact crossover for 2020, and now they've revealed pricing for the new model. It's getting a new nose with revised headlights and LED lamps, but the bigger changes are what's happening in the tech department where Nissan has added its Safety Shield 360 active safety suite. Nissan's second-largest model is also

Small crossovers have been getting better and better these days, with their fair share of features and creature comforts. While the 2020 Nissan Qashqai has seemingly been outdone by newer competitors, the automaker has done quite a lot to ensure it isn’t left behind. Power: 7/10 A few crossovers in this class offer impressive power figure

The subcompact SUV segment has come a long way since Nissan and Mitsubishi launched the Juke and RVR. In that time that duo has been joined by a host of others, and with Honda’s launch of the HR-V and Mazda’s CX-3, the segment blew wide open. Toyota made its entrance in the fray this year with the C-HR and Ford will soon have its own entrant.

Nissan is boosting the number of standard active safety features in volume-selling trims of three of its most popular 2019 models as it works toward making its Safety Shield 360 suite standard across most of its lineup by 2021. Safety Shield 360 comprises front automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, high b
