Since its debut in 2021, the third-gen Nissan Qashqai has boasted a robust design, featuring bold lines, an elongated wheelbase, and striking 19-inch alloy wheels paired with sleek LED headlights. But as the automotive landscape evolves, so too must the Qashqai. The upcoming facelift is set to draw inspiration from Nissan’s Ariya EV, showcasing a revamped front grille flanked by stylish panels and redesigned headlamps with separate DRLs. Notable changes include chrome accents on the lower door cladding and a fresh rear bumper design, while the signature LED taillights receive a modern update.

Inside, the Qashqai’s cabin maintains its functionality while receiving subtle enhancements. Expect new upholstery options, updated trim colours, and refreshed skins for the 12.3-inch infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. Connectivity features like wireless charging, Nissan-connected services, and seamless integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be standard. Additionally, premium amenities such as a 10.8-inch heads-up display, 360-degree camera, panoramic glass roof, front seat massage function, and Bose premium audio system will continue to elevate the driving experience.

Under the surface, the 2025 Qashqai lineup embraces partial electrification to enhance performance and efficiency. Leading the charge is a 1.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine delivering 117 kW and 270 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission and available all-wheel drive. For those seeking even greater efficiency, an e-Power variant features a 1.5-litre variable-compression petrol engine acting as a generator for its electric motor, resulting in seamless power delivery without sacrificing performance.

The updated model is expected to break cover sometime this year.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
