Hello QQ owners.
Picked up my new Qashqai (1.2 DIG-T, Xtronic, Tekna, Blade Silver with Panoramic Glass Roof) today, Sadly it rained all day but driving my new Qashqai cheered me up
Will take better pictures when the sun reappears but it maybe some time
I have to confess I did jump ships to a Mazda CX-3 when it was launched in 2015 and I bought a CX-3 Sports Nav 1.5L Diesel AWD Automatic had it for just over 2 years. I did consider the 2nd gen Qashqai when it was launched in 2014 but I wanted a change so waited till the CX-3 was launched.
But I liked what Nissan did with the 2017 face-lifted Qashqai and I recently went for a test drive of the new updated Qashqai and I remembered what I was missing, higher driving position, panoramic roof, more room inside for both driver and passengers, much bigger boot and new Qashqai has more toys than the CX-3 Place my order on 30th August and by luck there was stock of the exact model and spec I wanted.
The Qashqai also feels a much more solid vehicle to drive than the CX-3. As much as I liked the CX-3 interior there were some areas the quality was not as good as the interior of the Qashqai, CX-3 had roof lining that appeared to be made of egg boxes, CX-3 doors closing where very tinny in sound, Qashqai solid clunk when you close them.
The Qashqai ride quality is much better than the CX-3 the Qashqai soaks up bumps much better and I would say it’s quieter in the cabin when driving, OK my CX-3 was diesel and they are generally noisier engines but only real noise with my Qashqai is the tyre noise but I am fine with that, I think the CX-3 was a bit more sporty to drive but the Qashqai suits me better.
Prior to CX-3 I had a 1st gen 2010 face-lifted Qashqai (2.0 dCi 4WD Auto, Tekna in Blade Silver with Stone leather) and before that I bought on launch back in 2007 1st gen Qashqai (2.0 dCi 4WD Auto, Tekna in Blade Silver) so I know Qashqai’s well enough
So am I back in Qashqai, yeah
