Re: QQ 1.6 Petrol is underpower

In Australia they don't even have the smaller engines, only the 2.0, I would say it is enough for the size of the vehicle, but I would not want any smaller, especially on the open road overtaking when loaded or towing.

Re: Exhaust fumes

Oct 2014 build stereo booklet

Hi Folks, I have recently picked up a 2014 Qashqai 2.0 ST (Australian base model ) and it is fitted with the base model stereo, the problem is the stereo has no user guide.

Hello from down under

Hi, just a quick intro, just picked up my Ink Blue Oct 2014 Qashqai ST 2.0 CVT , great little car so far, but thought it was worth joining these forums to get a heads up if there any issues to be aware of.
