Hi
Just wondered what people thought of the towing capability of the qashqai.
Got a 2015 qashqai 1.5 diesel i here it struggles a bit but just wondered what people thought.
Wanting to get a caravan but just wondered what it would be like. Also got a zafira so unsure which to use.
Thanks

Turbotim, you haven't said what engine is in your Zafira, or its age.
You should have an indication in your own mind as to which will be better at towing a caravan. I dont tow at all but I have worked with caravans and I know how heavy they are.
I drive the 1.5dci. Could it tow? Yes it could but it would be a struggle. I cant comment on the Zafira.

Sorry the zafira is the vxr so know this will tow fine, but it seems difficult to get a tow bar for it with the dual exhaust at the back. It’s a 2.0 turbo petrol 240bhpish so shouldn’t have a problem but working with Vauxhall’s for many years I know they say the cars with larger wheels they don’t always advise towing.
Not having much experience with the qashqai that’s why I signed up here to try and find out. I have a company car as well so if the Qq towed ok I may get rid of the zafira. But if people think the qq doesn’t tow well then I won’t.
