Nissan Qashqai At one time the Qashqai was the only show in town when it came to crossovers, but today it has more competition than ever. Recent model updates tweaked the styling and added a higher-quality cabin to the package. It remains a very good car, not just for its size and practicality, but also for its driving characteristics

and ease of use. There is no longer a Qashqai+2 seven-seat option – the X-Trail that caters for that – but this genesis of the crossover revolution remains a worthy contender. Smaller turbocharged petrol engines deserve consideration, even though the venerable 1.5-litre diesel is a popular choice.


Nissan Micra


A complete redesign from the ground up in 2017 has seen the Nissan Micra go from zero to hero in the supermini segment. Edgy styling and a choice of exterior colour packs make the Micra stand out: and by some margin if you want it to. A sharp handling chassis benefi ts from a choice of engines, namely a turbocharged 0.9-litre petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel, the latter suiting those regularly cover greater distances. Adding to the Micra’s impressive nature is a cabin that in higher spec models ranks as one of the best in class, and includes optional Bose speakers in the headrests.

Nissan Pulsar


Considering the great success that the Nissan Qashqai has enjoyed, its closely-related hatchback sibling, the Pulsar, is all but forgotten. While it has the family face, the rest of the exterior design is quite bland unless you go for a top-of-the range version. The Pulsar meets much of the criteria for making a successful fi ve-door hatchback; it just lacks that little bit of extra sparkle to make it as desirable as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Cheap looking plastics inside and doors that seem thin when you pull them shut don’t help. Its price does make up for things, however, and the 1.2-litre petrol engine isn’t bad either.
