Hi all, im looking at maybe purchasing a 2017+ Facelift Qashqai. Can someone tell me if every model comes with that intelligent key? I just want a normal key, not keyless due to security. Thanks

jc0r, I believe that you will find from the latest Nissan Info’ (reduced Models) that the Acenta Premium is the only model with a Std Key, all others have Intelligent Keys. We have had QQ’s for 6 years now and protect ours with a “Themis” Key Pouch (inc Spare) & a Steering Lock. Here the QQ Country Spec 🤬 does not include an Alarm System - could be wrong ! Dave 😏

My current QQ is my third Nissan with an intelligent key.
My partner is on her third Nissan (two Micra and currently a Leaf) with intelligent keys.
Neither of us has had any issue.
Spare keys are stored upstairs in the house contained in a metal "petty cash" style box.
I have a specialist key pouch for when I’m out and about but if I’m not using the car I keep the key in the microwave (signal completely blocked).

Welcome to this forum.

The Visia, Acenta and Acenta Premium all came with a conventional remote key.

I've had "intelligent" keys on both my Qashqai and the current Ignis and I've never had a problem nor have I taken any precautions, albeit my spare key resides in the fridge as do other keys.
