All-New Nissan Qashqai unveiled

Nissan reaffirmed their market leading position in the European crossover segment with the unveiling of the all-new, third generation Qashqai. Surpassing over three million sales from its introduction to the market in 2007, the Qashqai has gone from strength to strength.

Elegant design, enhanced packaging and an efficient powertrain are some of the guiding principles that Nissan have retained from previous generations of the Qashqai with improved quality and an excellent driving experience. The new Alliance CMF-C platform has displayed a showcase of advanced engineering, innovation and advanced technology, the new Qashqai will again raise the bar in the crossover segment and customers will relish in these attributes.

Headed up by teams in Nissan Design Europe and Nissan Technical Centre Europe in UK, Marco Fioravaniti VP of Product Planning in Nissan Automotive Europe commented "The starting point for the design and development of the all-new Qashqai was a deep analysis of the relationships we've had with all of our Qashqai customers over the last 13 years. It has enabled us to understand their needs and, in particular, what they value in the crossover that they use and rely on daily."


Stylish design, eye catching attraction

The third generation Qashqai boasts a more muscular, modern and sharp design with enhanced body stance and prominent shoulder lines, an extended wheelbase and imposing 20-inch alloy wheels introduced to Qashqai for the first time. An increased wheelbase and over length increase too, the marginal height and width difference has made for an improved presence on the road.

The enlarged Nissan V-Motion grille sits proudly at the front end and is finished in chrome with an additional pinstripe to accentuate its precision. Flanked by slim, full LED advanced matrix headlamps with boomerang signature daylight running lights, the super tight gaps between all these details create a premium and precise look.

Sharper and slimmer design on the forward lighting of the new Qashqai coupled with athletic and dynamic side view with a horizontal ‘fast line’ striking the car to express a sense of dynamism.
