got up, pulled their coat on, and said: “Come on, darling; let’s go out for a cheeky jacket potato.”</p> <p>There’s nothing inherently <em>wrong</em> with a jacket potato, you understand. With the right toppings, it can even be a delicious, hearty meal. But it’s not exciting, is it? It’s not the watchword in <em>haute cuisine</em>. It is easily digestible, inoffensive sustenance for the masses.</p> <p>And that brings us right onto the Nissan Qashqai. To call it a baked potato of a car would be unkind, but we think you can see where we’re going with this one.</p> <p>In that, we’re pretty certain no one sets out to buy a Nissan Qashqai. They just… end up with one, because it does everything to an adequate or above average standard, without ever being extraordinary in any way. It might not tug on your heartstrings, but neither is it going to put you off by being needlessly outlandish or weirdly daring, either.</p> <p>A lack of spice hasn’t stopped this genre-defining – we’ll come back to this – vehicle proving ridiculously palatable to the public, though. The third-generation model, launched just three years ago, has already racked up 350,000 sales across Europe.</p> <p>Indeed, since it first appeared late in 2006, only in 2007 has the Nissan sold less than 100,000 units per annum across the continent. In 2017 alone, it racked up nearly a quarter-of-a-million European sales.</p> <p>And here in the UK, which you could argue is its home market as it is bolted together up in Sunderland, it’s a behemoth in showrooms. Last year, the Qashqai was number two in the overall sales chart, with more than 43,000 finding homes throughout 2023. In 2022, it came in top — crowned king with 42,704 examples shifted. This year, it’s sitting third in the chart as we write, just a few hundred units off the Kia Sportage in second.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?w=1024" alt="Nissan Qashqai" class="wp-image-145149" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-042.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <p>But it would seem that we, as the car-buying public, have a taste for stodgy meals, if these astonishing sales numbers are anything to go by and the food-related metaphor hasn’t been stretched too thin.</p> <p>If we take the Qashqai as the essential potato base, then, you have a variety of trims to liven things up a bit – think of these as your cheese or coleslaw or tuna mayo toppings, if you will.</p> <p>As before, they run Acenta Premium, N-Connecta, Tekna and then Tekna+. However, slotting into this hierarchy, alongside Tekna (they’re the same price), is an all-new specification called N-Design.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="720" height="406" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-017-edited.jpg" alt="Nissan Qashqai" class="wp-image-145159" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-017-edited.jpg 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-017-edited.jpg?resize=310,175 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-017-edited.jpg?resize=620,350 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-017-edited.jpg?resize=360,203 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-017-edited.jpg?resize=400,226 400w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></figure> <p>This adds body-coloured panels beneath the doors and over the wheel arches, as well as a set of eye-catching 20in alloys for greater road presence.</p> <p>And if, as they say, the first bite is with the eye, then the 2024 model year Qashqai is an appealing confection. It is helped by further visual updates that are part of the facelift, primarily centring on a much wider radiator grille, studded with comma-shaped details that are said to be inspired by the ancient armour of Japanese warriors.</p> <p>To go with this bold new look, the LED front lights have been redesigned, as has the bumper. And the same goes at the rear, where there’s a squared-off look for the lower portion of the Qashqai and lamp clusters which are now monochrome when they’re not lit up.</p> <figure

Admittedly, family crossovers like this don’t need to be thrilling and dynamic in the corners, and you could well argue that few — if any — of the Qashqai’s natural rivals are any great shakes for handling.</p> <p>But the Nissan is very straightforward in terms of its driver appeal. In that it doesn’t really have any to speak of. Light, feel-free steering, notable levels of body roll and tyres which begin to squeak their disapproval as soon as you’re even remotely ambitious with your corner-entry speed all dissuade any kind of spirited driving when you’re behind the Qashqai’s wheel.</p> <p>This is most odd, given something we touched upon earlier regarding this model’s genre-defining status.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?w=1024" alt="Nissan Qashqai" class="wp-image-145132" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-002.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <p>The Qashqai only came about back in 2006 because Nissan was trying to offer something which looked like an SUV, but which had the underpinnings and running costs of a family hatchback — and the driving characteristics of lower, lighter cars too.</p> <p>It was trying to provide all the benefits of a 4×4, without the associated financial drawbacks of an SUV and with a decidedly car-like on-road driving experience mixed in as well. And its roaring success inspired many, many copycats.</p> <p>It’s for this reason that Nissan lays claim to inventing the crossover segment, even if Toyota and Honda were selling their ideologically similar RAV4 and CR-V models back in the 1990s.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?w=1024" alt="Nissan Qashqai" class="wp-image-145137" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-011.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <p>Indeed, it’s hard to argue anything besides the fact cars like the Ford Puma, the only vehicle which has consistently outsold the Nissan in the UK in the past 18 months, wouldn’t even exist if it were not for the Qashqai setting the template.</p> <p>But where the Puma, and other crossovers, have a crisp, refreshing, tasty dynamic experience to savour, the Qashqai does not. It’s not that it’s objectively bad; rather, it’s just… inert.</p> <p>Still, this won’t matter, because in terms of its spectacular ease-of-use and laid-back nature, it’s easy to see why the Qashqai satisfies so many buyers’ hunger for a family crossover like this.</p> <p>Just two engine choices are on offer in the Nissan’s range, these being the 1.3-litre mild-hybrid petrol, and then this e-Power hybrid.</p> <p>The Japanese car company tries to call this an “electric car without the hassle of plugging it in”, because the unusual way its powertrain works is that a 140kW electric motor is the only thing which physically drives the Qashqai’s wheels.</p> <p>However, an onboard 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine is fitted as a “range extender” to top up the electric motor’s battery on the move — good job, really, as the lithium-ion powerpack is little more than a 1.8kWh <em>amuse bouche</em>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?w=1024" alt="Nissan Qashqai" class="wp-image-145133" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-003.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <p>Strictly speaking, the Qashqai e-Power is a hybrid. And it’s a very good one at that, providing smooth, fuss-free driving manners which make the whole experience of being behind its wheel as unintimidating and simple as possible.</p> <p>It rides well, its light and quick steering makes placing it accurately on the roads a doddle, and the general hush of the passenger compartment at all speeds is most admirable.</p> <p>You hear little of tyre or wind noise, and unless you absolutely plant the accelerator pedal into the carpet and ask the e-Power for all of its 187bhp and 244lb ft of torque (twisting force), the 1.5-litre engine — which runs more often than you might imagine in a vehicle with a heavily electrified bent — stays remarkably quiet.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?w=1024" alt="Nissan Qashqai" class="wp-image-145147" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-033.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <p>Even when it is working hard, the engine makes an appealing trilling noise, although the way the system works it can sound like the Qashqai is equipped a continuously variable transmission, when it isn’t. It has a single-speed reduction gear, like most electric vehicles.</p> <p>It also doesn’t quite have one-pedal driving. Put the Qashqai e-Power’s stubby gear lever in D and it will coast along freely when you lift off the throttle, so you have to click it again for B, which ups the level of regenerative braking. This slows the car more noticeably when you take your foot off the accelerator but it still needs some actual brake-pedal use to get it to decelerate for sharper corners or come to a complete stop in traffic.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-145153" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/Nissan-Qashqai-red-2024-040.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <p>There is an “ePedal” button on the console which tries to mimic one-pedal driving in the city, but even that won’t bring the Nissan to a complete halt so really, at no point does this car behave fully like an EV.</p> <p>But that won’t put people off.
