Definitely a marmite colour.
It’s the first time I have looked properly at the front of the new QQ and personally I don’t like it, too much clutter and It looks like an absolute nightmare to clean.
I think Nissan got it spot on with the Mk2 and should have only slightly tweaked it.
QQ 2014 (64) 1.5dci n-tec+ (gun metallic)
DRL mod & mud flaps.

Cheers Dave, we liked the look of this and to be fair we got a cracking deal,couldn’t justify the extra cost for a Tekna or Tekna +,
This does everything we need it to do and more,and free Sky TV subscription with sports for 18 months was a bonus.
Going to try and get some better pictures tomorrow that show the colour better, these were taken in the haste of pulling on the drive today.
Initial thoughts on the way home were, a more refined drive,seemed smoother over roads we are familiar with and seemed quieter in the cabin and much improved seats,all good so far,but only a few miles under the belt,will do a report after a thousand miles or so.

Hello AndyM,

Not seen any Chestnut Bronze Qashqai's (or facelifted white) on the road yet! A couple of black, silver, grey, red and plenty of Vivid Blue ;) :lol:

You mention you've got the LED pack in your signature but looking at your pictures it looks like it's not been fitted. Did you decide against it in the end? 🤔
Now: 1.3 Tekna DIG-T 158 MHEV J12 ~ LED Front Fog Lights ~ Ceramic Grey with Pearl Black Roof/Grey Interior
Before: 1.2 N-Connecta DIG-T 115 J11B ~ Heat Pack ~ LED Pack ~ Vivid Blue (Sep 17-Oct 21)
Previously: 1.2 N-Tec DIG-T 115 J11A ~ Blade Silver (Nov 14-Sep 17)

Great spot that,Just spent the morning looking into this,would never have spotted that until we drove at night,just looked into this and it looks like the dealer forgot to put it on the order,apparently they had to change the order after we left the showroom and didn’t put it on the second time around as some details were wrong on the original order, on the plus side our payments have gone down slightly, a bit gutted about this.

I bet you’re gutted about it. At least they’ve adjusted your payments but it’s disappointing they didn’t notice their omission and inform you before delivery. Anyway, enjoy your new QQ. Some great photos by the way. Hopefully I’ll see a Chestnut Bronze QQ on the road in the near future! :)

So, looks like it’s got to go in for it’s first fault, car is 4 days old, 30 miles on the clock, emergency brake system activated at 30mph for no reason, nothing in front,car braked for a few seconds,quite scary.

I still havn't seen a Chestnut bronze in the flesh and from photographs it looks exactly the same colour as the metallic bronze. Bit cheeky of Qashqai to announce a new colour and charge so much more for it when its nearly identical to the previous bronze colour.
