2020 Nissan Qashqai

If you are shopping for a new set of wheels, odds are you have your eyes on an SUV. The idea behind an SUV is a hugely appealing one: maximum utility, versatility, space without sacrificing much, if anything. The 2020 Nissan Qashqai is one such vehicle and if you are reading this, you certainly are on the right track.

The Nissan Qashqai slots itself as the perfect-sized SUV for urban dwellers and outdoor adventure lovers. It will also suit small families looking for efficiency and the all-important expected utility when hauling around a stroller, bags and more. In 2020, the Nissan Qashqai is more ready than ever to cater to everyone’s needs. Here’s how.

First, let’s consider design. For the 2020 model year, the Rogue receives a trendy makeover, aligning it with Nissan’s latest products including the new Altima and cool new Kicks. The revised sportier front fascia with larger integrated V-Motion signature grille, LED head- and tail lights, and new available alloy wheels. These visual upgrades boost the Qashqai’s curb appeal to new heights.

Also new for 2020 is an even more generous helping of available safety features including Driver Attention Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition. Nissan Intelligent Mobility serves as the backbone to the Qashqai’s impressive suite of included and optional safety features. Standard technologies include intelligent emergency braking and lane departure warning. The available ProPILOT Assist technology throws in intelligent cruise control with Full Speed Range and Hold, and Steer Assist.

Then, there’s power without paying the price at the pumps. The 2020 Nissan Qashqai is powered by a frugal 141-horsepower 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine. The standard Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with a manual shift mode can be mated solely to the front wheels or, optionally, all four wheels. Even with AWD, fuel consumption is impressively low at only 7.6L/100 km on the highway. Not only can the Qashqai be tailored to meet your driving needs but there are no compromises to be made.

Speaking of compromises or making choices, the 2020 Nissan Qashqai may be affordable but you will not need to forgo accessories that have become must-haves. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard and should you desire the full audio experience, a powerful Bose audio system is optional.

No matter what you choose to do with your Qashqai, it will adapt to your needs. It will accommodate five occupants and a surprising 566 litres of gear. The Divide-N-Hide cargo system is ideal for most shopping excursions. Lowering the second reveals an enormous space for that sporadic trip to Ikea.

The 2020 Nissan Qashqai is still the perfect-sized SUV but with an even more attractive outer shell.
