Well it looks like the QQ cannot be that bad now voted “Best British Built Car” - Dave 👏

In an effort to find EVERYTHING out about the 1.3l before release it would appear a dealership has one for sale already. This advert details the car, with photos, and shows the interior. The photos show the 'old current infotainment system, without carplay and Android Auto. I suppose any further questions could be answered by calling the dealer?

who will be the first brave man to get one of the first 1.3s? My poor experience of the earlest J11 and other members here was not good

Ian, you are right with your concerns but our 2014 1,2L is still going perhaps we were lucky 😉. This new motor I believe has been installed in Renault’s and MB‘s cars for some time and looks like the QQ is the last to get it. As with all new developments there is some degree of risk but let’s hope not again. If you have not read this attachment take a look - Dave :D

QQGuy - Thanks 😉

As QashqaiGuy mentioned, pictures of Apple CarPlay on the new Nissan Connect are shown on the Pocket Lint website.

It also states:
How do I get the new NissanConnect? Can I upgrade my car?
Sadly this isn't an upgrade option for those who already have a Nissan Qashqai - even if it was a model you bought in 2018. Because there's different hardware powering NissanConnect, this is a complete departure from the old system and you won't be able to upgrade to it.

If you're looking to buy a new Qashqai, however, you're in luck - but you'll have to make sure you're buying the new model with support for the new internal tech. Those new models should be available from November, so be sure to ask your dealer before parting with your cash.
Also, a USB cable will be needed to use CarPlay and Android Auto. I’d likely forget to unplug my phone before I leave the car :oops:
Once you have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in your Qashqai, all you have to do is connect your smartphone via cable and you can use those systems.

Ditto with my Ignis - and, yes, I forget the phone too!

Maybe because there is no other car built in UK ??? .... :P

not really, never had a car with so many issues and such a poor customer service.... glad I sold it .
If not made in Japan I will doubt of any Nissan Toyota or Mazda....

Luiscana, I take your Second comment to be a witty one. The reason being there are still quite a few British Car Manufacturers still out there and attached is an AA listing from the end of 2017 and a bit of History - Dave 😋
