PROS Amazingly good value Lots of space for passengers and luggage Comfortable ride
CONS Not exactly thrilling to drive Entry-level trim is very basic There are quieter small cars
PROS Improves on the old car in every single way. Smart-looking, spacious and above all, great value
CONS Very little that can’t be explained away by its tiny price
The facelifted 2018 Qashqai gets a fresh look, more kit and new tech. It's a good thing, but is it a standout option in the small SUV segment?
Pros Still looks smart Above-average cabin practicality Improved on-road refinement Good cabin build quality AEB now standard across the range
Cons It's pretty expensive Can feel underpowered Key active safety reserved for top models Ti, adaptive cruise not here until mid-2018 Tyre roar, busy ride on 19-inch wheels Still no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
Pros Spacious interior for size Addition of AEB Good comfort equipment list
Cons Aggressive tyre choice spoils ride Space saver spare tyre No Apple Carplay or Android Auto
