- Today on Buckle Up Harry drives the car that started the crossover trend in the UK - the Nissan Qashqai. Love it or loathe it, it's immensely popular and remains one of the best selling cars in Britain after 14 years on sale.
Competing against the likes of the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, MG HS, BMW X3, Audi Q3, Skoda Kodiaq, Seat Ateca, Volkswagen Tiguan, Mercedes Benz GLC, Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Volvo XC60, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Renault Kadjar and the Lexus UX, why is it the Qashqai fares so well? In the competitive mid-sized crossover segment it's a race to the top in terms of tech, price and economy - so how does it do?

My first time finding "Buckle Up", very different style of review but I do like it. Well done Harry. How soon can you do a test on the new Renault Austral?
We're currently in talks with the Renault team
Having owned 2 qashqai's you hit the nail on the head Harry
It pretty good at everything.
It either meets or exceeds expectations, just like an employee who is never going to get a raise
Thank you for this, we pick up our new Qashqai E Power Tekna Automatic next week in the UK, the red that has a tinge of orange look, beautiful colour, feeling excited! ❤😊
I'm sure you'll enjoy it
When i showed the vid to my parents, they rlly liked it so tysm
That's for sharing our video 😁
I think this looks quite good now
I think you look quite good 😘
Nice Çar Harry 😀
Thanks for the review ❤️
No problem, thanks for watching
When you mention CVT i cringe. That was an impossible dream until recently. How come it is so prevalent today? In theory, I prefer e-power. Can u drive 1 yard with the mirrors folded? Thanks.
Why do you cringe when I mention CVT? What was an impossible dream? Are you asking why CVTs are common today? Why would you want to drive with the mirrors folded?
You can drive with the mirrors folded though
Hi To me the tutorial like the car was OK, and the equipment on the dashboard beside the latest technology was easy controls, Knobs, Levers etc, Reading through the comments, could not come to any conclusion. How good or bad the vehicle was. Regards welshman 2081
The Nissan Qashqai Is to Cars what Norwich is to Cities
@@BuckleUpShow Thanks
The Kaškaj started the crossover trend throughout Europe too.
I wouldn’t buy a crossover myself.
The CR-V came first, but the Qashqai certainly popularised the crossover to the point it's now the dominant form factor
The point is: Nissan can keep advancing the best EV powertrain and transmission technologies on this system. I really appreciate it.
Is this the best EV drivetrain?
Greetings from Oz Harry. Thanks for the review, nice job. One point however: you say you wouldn't trust the steering assist on the motorway after engaging it for all of 5 seconds on what looks like a B-road? I have the exact same system on my X Trail e-Power and use it constantly on freeways and our A & B road equivalents here in Australia. Like all tech on cars, it requires a degree of common-sense (eg: knowing when and where NOT to use it). However, once one takes the leap of faith the anxiety with trusting the system on curves and slight bends (with hands still on the wheel) will disappear. Mindful of the fact that it won't allow you to drive totally 'hands-free', it turns out that driven by anyone other than a suicidal idiot it works very well. Just setting the record straight lest it deter folks from buying this highly competent tech-loaded smaller sibling to the X Trail.
Apologies for any confusion, we generally have each test car for a week so I had been using it throughout including testing out the steering assist. I found once In a while it would lock in and keep me centered in the lane but it would disengage without much warning and at other times it seemed much less eager to assist, only kicking in as you approached one of the edges of the lane
That boot division comes in very handy!
Car drivers from most other brands seem to be able to live without it
Thought the spec with sunroof had quilted leather?
That's tekna plus, this is tekna, plus also gets you massage seats and different wheels
@@BuckleUpShowgets confusing then, over here (NZ) only the top spec has sunroof, plus massage, Bose, quilted leather. Your spec to me is like an in between model.
British consumers must be really picky bastards then. Seems we're willing to pay some extra money for certain things but not everything, hence the additional trim levels 🤣
Can't be that picky, I remember you having Cajun Squirrel chips (crisps?) over there lol
That top parcel shelf sits under the false floor, for when you need to remove it.
Cool, I still hate the false floor
@@BuckleUpShow 😀
@@BuckleUpShow Just put the luggage boards in their lower position. Problem solved 😂.
Performance! 0-60 in 7.9! Competition?
What?
I know it’s a Nissan Quasqai but thanks to Clarkson I’ll always think of this as Nissan Kumquat 😂
I land on quishquash most days
Literally never seen one.
Good one
So….. if it’s propulsion is “EV” will this be £zero Road Tax.. 🤔 ?
No, the electricity is being generated by petrol, so it still has tailpipe emissions and therefore has to pay VED
Looked at one of these a year or so ago. Came to the conclusion it’s a daft way of making people feel they’re being green or have an ev when it clearly isn’t. Not convinced consumption is any better than a normal ice car so nothing to get excited about. Neither one thing or another.
It achieves lower tail pipe emissions than other hybrid systems, which is key to keeping Nissan's fleet average down. Some people report getting better economy than a standard hybrid but I didn't really, I think I would if I did mostly town driving though.
Looks very plasticky inside the cabin see loads of these on the road not many e -power versions though
They're all e Powers round our way
Why is the car so dirty? Sunday falls? Vomitorium?
Why does this comment make no sense? Mother Shipton's Cave? Caldarium?
Like most cars,too much to go wrong,and way to expensive,as,a consequence.
Yeah bring back simple cars that never went wrong like what BL used to make!
It's a tekna so not top of the range.
Yes
A full polluting EV well done nissan
Or you could think of it as a hybrid with lower tailpipe emissions
Sit in the back of a Peugeot3008 and see what the stupid piece of plastic trim does to your shin.
Is this a current gen Peugeot 3008?
It is an ugly car & what the point is filling with petrol to be powered by electric 😂
To get greater efficiency of power transfer from the chemical reaction becoming forward motion
Electric drive is smoother
