QASH IS KING Nissan Qashqai crowned The Sun Car of the Year 2021… with the family car delivering on safety, price and style

There is no better family car.

Big enough for all the usual family debris, small enough to thread down a busy road and to park at Tesco. It just fits your life. I’m going to use a cake analogy here. Qashqai has the right mix of ingredients: Strong, safe, sensibly priced from £24k and, dare I say it, stylish. For an SUV.

Some rivals look like a dog’s breakfast because they are so over-designed. This isn’t. This looks clean and fresh.

The jam in the middle is the cabin. And the hybrid petrol engines that don’t need a plug. But let’s concentrate on the posh interior.

Lots of soft-touch surfaces, tons of tech (head-up display, wifi, top-view camera) and the same luxuries as a Merc (like massaging seats).

Just as pleasing for parents, the rear doors open wider to 85 degrees, there’s more head and knee room in the back, and the reversible boot floor (one side carpet, one side wipe-clean plastic) is handy for filthy dogs and tip runs. The boot is bigger too.

Now for the cherry on top: Qashqai is designed, engineered and built in Britain. Which means it puts food on the table for thousands of families.

One of the reasons I have been choosing Nissan. I also had a Honda Civic in the past, although their Swindon factory is no more? :(
