I have done my test drive today. Model was N-Connecta 158 xtronic with pro pilot and design packs, since it had the HUD and glass roof.
My thoughts:
Way, way better than my current J10 so upgrade is a no brainer for me.
Acceleration was good. Didn't take much to get to 80-90km/h (didn't get to faster roads during my test drive)
The lane keep assist works really well, even on smaller roads that have lane markings here in Finland.
Android auto works too, even though Nissan's Finnish brochure says that it's not yet available in Finland. Only started it to map view on the 9" screen, didn't play around with it that much.
A pillars are much thinner than in J10, so much better visibility around there.
Wife said it was easy for her to get in the car from her wheelchair.
The boot floor has to be at lower position for her wheelchair to fit in the boot.
I did ask about mudguards since they aren't fit as default and my dealer said that in his opinion, they don't really do much since they are small. The ones at the back at least.
I did order AWD 158 xtronic tekna+, magnetic blue on 22nd of June. Delivery estimate is by the end of week 39, so that means around 1st of October.
Drove the new one today

Thanks for the update and picture, Dave.
The mud flaps are a completely different size for the J12 which @ilkka has just commented on too!

- Qashqai Model: Still looking for one....
Hi, I am new to the forum and looking into switching from a Peugeot 2008 to the new Qashqai, I was wondering if you knew these photos were of the Arctic White colour or not as all I can seem to find is images of the Pearl Whites.
Has anyone also had any experience driving the 138bhp in comparison to the 158?
This forums been a lifesaver so far in helping narrow down our choices!

Thanks Gloucester and possibly Dave, think it might look slightly off white though given that looks like it should be under pure white lights. Think we are going to have to go for ceramic grey or gun metallic to avoid any uncertainty!

Sorry it could be an Age Problem, but I have been looking again at the Nissan UK / German Info’ for the QQ J12 and cannot find a mention of this “Arctic White” Color - Thanks Dave
All I can find is : Pearl White -P / P - Pearl / QAB and Solid White - S / S - Solid / 326 - Part No:KE99832625CC
It appears to me that Arctic White / Solid White are the same Color / Spec with a different name - confusing !

Dave, paint colours and codes from the UK brochure for the J12 Qashqai shown below.
Storm White (Pearlescent) // Arctic White (Solid, non-metallic). The paint code for Arctic White appears to be the same as your picture, i.e. 326
