Nissan Qashqai

The Nissan Qashqai is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) designed and produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan since 2006. The first generation of the vehicle was sold as the Nissan Dualis in Japan and Australia, and Qashquai in the rest of the world. The second generation, launched in late-2013 for the 2014 model year, was not sold in Japan. The third and latest generation model launched in 2021 is available with hybrid powertrains. It is positioned between the Juke and the X-Trail in Nissan's crossover SUV lineup with the latter sharing platform with the QashQai. The car slots below the X/Ttrail in the Nissan range and partially replaces the conventional Primera and the smaller Almera. It received a five star Euro NCAP safety rating – the best ever adult occupant score – for the first time in its seven-year production run. From the UK, the first-generation QashQuai sold more than 1.24 million units in Europe during its seven year run. It was also exported to the Middle East and other overseas markets.
