Since you asked QaiFan My experience with my AWD tekna+ and Finnish winter: 97% positive. The car is great in snow, handles really well and there hasn't been any loss of traction. While in my old J10 I was constantly spinning wheels when moving from lights and crossroads, not a single time in my J12. AWD really helps there. Also heated windscreen and steering wheel are so great and nice to have features. Helps a ton if your windscreen is frozen.
And as my negatives, my biggest negative point is with the intelligent lane intervention in situations like in this linked photo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:High ... inland.jpg. Specifically meaning the area where asphalt meets the snow in the tire tracks that have formed. Sometimes lane intervention sees that as a line and starts steering you back to "center" of the lane, which actually isn't a center since it sees the edge of the snow. This has caused some annoyances and I have had to turn it off from the quick menu.
I have also had few times when intelligent lane intervention and intelligent emergency braking have turned itself off because the camera has been obstructed. This has been because there has been condensation on the glass where the camera sits. I also noticed that Nissan has put few heater elements in there, so you can just turn your windscreen heater on and problem disappeared in less than a minute.

Thank you so much ilkka, truly appreciated !
Good to know that the new qashqai is not causing too many issues in adverse weather conditions !
Just one more question please ... didn't you get any of the many potential error messages yet, like "engine failure", "Start/Stop failure" ... ?
If there is ever a place where I would guess these are more likely to happen then it is ... where you live !?
Thanks

Not a single error message, my car behaves really nicely and hasn't given me any errors like some others have gotten.

Car went in yesterday and they found a fault with either the steering wheel or steering wheel switches so they have ordered both, This is the third one they have had to change to I think it's a fault that is well known about.willip10 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:17 pm Well.... I have had the Qashqai now since just before Xmas and around 50 % of the time I get the error below when using Pro-Pilot it seems to be worse after a lot of rain but can happen at anytime. If Pro-Pilot is not used the car works as expected in all other areas, it's just Pro-Pilot that has the issue.

It's going in on Monday 31st for an investigation to try to find out why it's happening.
I will let you know what they find in due course.
For anyone waiting for these cars, I love this car, it really is brilliant to drive, and I would have no issues recommending it to anyone.

3bl - welcome to this forum.
Interesting to hear that steering wheels now appear to be a problem for J12s. With Nissan's problems never end? They had plenty of time to sort things out in the delayed launch period.

Thanks for the welcome!
They have changed the steering wheel but the problem is back. Now the car is in the garage and I’m driving a replacement vehicle.
Now they are waiting for a new part which should solve.
Interesting is that I don’t see any vehicle available for purchase with the ProPilot function. Maybe it’s just the coincidence…
In the meantime, I’ve got the Battery Management Fault so they had to reprogram the software which fixed the issue.

My 71plate Tekna been in the dealership today with a Propilot fault.
They said where were fault codes which they cleared and remapped it. Because of time they couldn't road test it. I did on my way home and there's still a fault.
Guess I'll be calling them next week.
