Named after a nomadic Persian tribe, Nissan’s compact crossover SUV claims to be urbanproof.
More than suitable for city use due its good suspension, elevated ground clearance and soundproofing, Qashqai’s stamina is fueled through a choice of engines ranging in capacity from 1.5 L to 2.0 L. Available in both 2 and 4-wheel drive modes coupled with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional CVT one, the Qashqai seems to be the wheeled corespondent of a Persian wild horse. Stylish and reliable, the car is also safe having scored maximum points during last year’s EuroNCAP tests.
