It’s official; the new third-generation Nissan Qashqai has finally launched in South Africa. Based on first impressions, it was well worth the wait as the refreshed 2022 Nissan Qashqai delivers on all fronts and punches above its weight in more ways than one.

Here is a closer look at the latest addition to the growing Nissan range.

What’s New On The 2022 Nissan Qashqai?

The fresh-faced 2022 Nissan Qashqai is the perfect blend of a hatchback and an SUV. It not only looks the part, but it’s practical, versatile and economical with value for money, especially considering the range of class-leading features.

The new Nissan Qashqai has set an industry benchmark for SUVs with its more muscular stance and sharper exterior with modern and sportier styling, indicative of the design consistency in the Nissan crossover range.

The new Qashqai is built on the automaker’s robust CMF-C platform and weighs up to 60 kg less than the outgoing model. To help with weight reduction — and keep up to date with the latest automotive design trends — the rear hatch consists of composite material – and the front fenders, doors, and bonnet are all aluminium products.

As a result of shedding weight, it delivers a better overall driving experience, and fuel economy and offers more interior space and legroom due to the larger dimensions, i.e. 20mm longer wheelbase, 25mm higher and 32mm wider.
