Hi All,
Trying to select between the 2 colours in the 1.3L Qashqai - magnetic red and gun metallic grey. Like both colours and really confused. Any thoughts, suggestions?

I just rue the fact that the UK isn't in the USA where they get ORANGE!

I loved my gun-metal grey QQ (and the gun-metal Juke I had before it) but I would probably have red

Aash, welcome to the Forum ! Regarding the Colors Sorry I beg to differ 😋, but it has to be KAD Gun Metallic. We had the same decision to make from a Pearlescent White Tekna and in the end went for the Gun Metallic. We kept our eyes open for some time looking at “Grey” SUV’s just to get an idea of the appearance. I must admit we are pleased with our Gun Metallic, easy to keep clean and when polished up looks a real treat. Whatever ! The final decision is obviously yours Best of Luck with your decision - Dave 😉

I'm biased to magnetic red!

Colour really pops in the sun

The only color that can match gun metal is aurora green,
