ALL-NEW NISSAN QASHQAI BREAKS COVER

[QaiFan]

Sandgrounder, I am curious about your test drive impressions.
It's a pity we won't be able to compare X-tronic vs the manual transmission-driving since most dealers only have a single demo car ?!

@QaiFan the dealer has two new Qashqai’s for test drive purposes but they’re both manual transmission

@Sandgrounder ... That's great !
I ordered it with a manual transmissions as well.

I, personally, still wonder what the best choice would be since I have seen quite a few (YouTube) contradictory views on the new Nissan X-tronic -vs- Nissan MT6 !

The guy in this brand new UK test-drive video does not seem to fond of a CVT, but claims the new X-tronic in the new QQ is nicer ...

Thanks for sharing, an interesting review

Great video. That’s one of my colour choices too. The other will probably be gunmetal.

Having checked out the specifications of the Premiere edition, the only thing that would put me off buying that model is the fact that there is no heat pack as standard or as an option (heated windscreen, seats, steering wheel) which is a shame.

I will be going for a manual transmission again too. I just need to decide which 1.3 engine to go for.

Got to say I think this colour is great too - never thought I would come to like these flat colours when they first re-appeared.
Like you, I’d want the heat pack but I’ll be getting an automatic with the more powerful engine.

The NISSAN Driver’s Guide app has been updated to include the new Qashqai!

@Sandgrounder ... Strange, I installed the App (Android), but if I try to download the new qashqai data (internet provider or wifi) I get "No internet connection, each and every time !

But thanks for the App information.

If you have the powered tailgate/boot door fitted, holding down the button on the key fob for 1 second will open the powered door automatically. I wonder if we’ll get comments saying “I went to bed, having locked the car securely, but found all the windows and boot were open the following morning!”

I think it must still be a “work in progress” as when you get to EXTERIOR LIGHTS, and all the other sections beneath, it just shows information for STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
