Buying a used Nissan Qashqai 

This family SUV was the start of the surge in demand for SUVs, introducing the Qashqai was a risk for Nissan that paid off and opened up a new category of vehicles.

Petrol 

You can find many Nissan Qashqais on the used car market with several different petrol engines. Common versions include the 1.3L petrol engine and 1.2L petrol engine. The petrol variations are ideal for those who do regular short trips in and around town.  

Diesel 

If you’re looking to do more regular long journeys the fuel efficiencies you can gain from a diesel vehicle may be beneficial. Common diesel engines on the used car market include 1.5L DCI and 1.6L DCI engines. 

Mild Hybrid 

The Nissan Qashqai’s current answer to the electric movement is the introduction of a 1.3L petrol mild-hybrid model. This option saves fuel by using the engine to charge the onboard battery. In turn this saves money and allows the petrol engine to shut down at low speeds or when the vehicle has completely stopped. This mild hybrid combination is becoming a more common standard option on many newer vehicles.
