Good Evening and thanks for the add,

We have owned a Qq Tekna 1.5dci since October 2014 and are passing it onto our son. We ordered a 1.5d Tekna+ Propilot DCT this week, knowing details are still a little unclear, including exact pricing. Expecting a delivery September sometime. The price was £24,401 via Carwow, cheapest in the UK I think and £1300 cheaper than my sister's 20% employee discount. I was interested reading the threads about the new model, it looks nice. Will it have the colour coded wheel arch trim, new alloys etc. as in the pictures?

I think this will be a good buy but have a nagging doubt about waiting till next year for the all new 2020 model. I wondered whether anyone knew when will this be available to place orders, likely costs, discounts, engines, spec etc. Do any Nissan employees know whether the discount will still be 20% on a brand new model which might make it worthwhile waiting because employee discount will beat any internet offers on a new model.

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty about the 2020 model so maybe it's just better to stick with the Tekna+ ProPilot because the discount seems to be excellent, it's a tried and tested car, I like the DCT box and the trim and spec are excellent, especially if UK spec will be the same as in the threads on here. Hardest bit is colour choice, feeling Gun Metallic just ahead of Magnetic Red.

Thanks, Keith.

You can get it for 28% discount elsewhere!

Where's that David? I saw the ad for 360 Leasing aka gbcardeals via the cars2buy link offering up to 32% on Qq deals. I rang them up and I knew more about the new Tekna+ from reading forums than the salesman who told me they were only placing orders on Manuals. I'd be interested if you have seen a better price on a new spec Tekna+ 1.5dci DCT with the different wheels, chrome side trim, painted wheel arches and front lip etc. as shown in the threads on here. The deal I have is with a proper UK Nissan dealer, Uk stock, not grey imports etc. If you are buying rather than browsing I would check that 28% is a genuine deal on the September 69 Plate UK Spec Tekna+ DCT.

I'm just going by my purchase in march, all the Tekna+ models were 28% discount, the cash purchase went very smoothly, delivered via transporter.
I used a broker who used a genuine Nissan dealership and had the V5 sent to me within a fortnight.
That's twice I've used this broker now, never a problem and will use them again.

Dave, unless I am wrong it looks like you are comparing prices on the “Older” J11B Tekna + as against the New Updated & Styled J11B Tekna + with the Pro-Pilot System. From what I know Production start for the new model was May 19.
Now if you can get 28% on this model where are they ? - Thanks Dave 😏

@David56, sounds like you got a great deal but it also sounds like you bought the older model, that would explain the extra discount. There was an embargo on ordering the latest Tekna+ since March. I believe Smiths Nissan in Peterborough are the cheapest UK supplier at the moment via Carwow at £24,401 for the Vivid Blue, a discount of 23.5%. I believe the spec will be as provided by DaveBerlin (really appreciate your help Dave, you know more than most dealers about the latest Tekna+) so it will be quite different from yours. I don't believe you can order the latest Tekna+ from a broker at the moment, I rang a couple and they couldn't, Smiths are putting them on back order. If you let us know the name of your broker I would be interested if they can order the latest model and still offer a 28% discount.

Well it was the latest model in March and I'm very chuffed with it after over 3 months usage.
I used new car discount.
Funnily enough Peterborough is only 16 miles or so away from me!

When in 2020 is the new QQ due to be released

I normally change the car every 3 years. If the new QQ is released in early 2020 then I might as well delay the change for the new QQ.
