2014 Nissan Qashqai TS Diesel review
August 29, 2014.
Vehicle Style: Small SUV
Price: $33,200
Engine/trans: 96kW/320Nm 1.6 turbo diesel 4cyl | CVT automatic
Fuel Economy claimed: 4.9 l/100km | tested: 6.6 l/100km
OVERVIEW
Nissan’s latest addition to its ever-evolving range of SUVs, the Qashqai, is arguably one of the brand’s best cars to date - particularly in the mid-grade diesel trim tested here.
Don’t recognise the name? That’s because the Dualis moniker has been dropped in favour of the European-market Qashqai badge.
But that’s not all that’s changed. Equipment levels are up, the interior has been modernised and the diesel now gets an automatic CVT gearbox as standard.
Across the board, this is a car that’s greatly improved over the model that preceded it.
We liked it during the local launch, and after spending a week at the wheel of the Qashqai TS diesel, we like it even more.
