try to judge the Qashqai on its ments as we do here with the 1.6- : litre version. , / ^ ,


■


i-; The 1.6-litre unit is the entry- point into the Qashqai club. At the opposite end of the range


: industry’s finest minds when it pulled the covers off this one and . most are still none the wiser. .Your - best bet in trying to nail it down, is to let the hammer fall some-: where between the compact'4x4s ■ and the family h a tch b a ck s .'I f : that doesn’t help, give up and just


.there are models with four driven wheels but' only the front pair get the power in.the 1.6.',The engine producesTa’ respect'able'llSbhp and ’can. propel the Qashqai through the 0-60mph sprint in 12 seconds before topping out a t lOQmphi Performance is aided by the absence of a hefty 4x4 drive-- tram. The four-wheel-drive 2.0- htre model has 140bhp but isn’t that much quicker, it takes 10.5 seconds to reach'GOraph and can only muster a l llm p h top speed.


The Qashqai is still a substantial


1 vehicle and the 1.6 doesn’t move it along with any great'pace but i t ’s reasonably refined when you dnve in a measured fashion.* .' :,


.


': The Qashqai may have dumped most of the traditional 4x4 design features b u t i t retains the tall shape and high ride height, even if they are toned down a little. This inevitably.leads some body roll.; when cornering but the angles of'' lean are less severe than in m o s t : compact 4x4s. Otherwise, the driving experience is pretty good. For larger families, there’s the


option of a.Qashqai-)-2 seven- seater model.


'■ Here, the doors have lieen


• redesigned and the side windows ; are bigger, as is the rear tailgate .window, making th e back feel


____


' anything but claustrophobic. The - middle row of seats splits 40/40/40 and the backrest reclines to no fewer than nine adjustment posi­ tions. The back row of seats is designed for those up to 1.6m (5’3” ), the seats fold 50/50 and can be folded away by pulling a


1 strap. When folded down there’s a . massive 500 litre s of stowage -space. ? aThe official combined fuel econ­ omy figure of 42.2mpg is a lot bet­ ter than you’d expect, giving the 2WD 1.6-litre Qashqai a further edge over the competition. I t ’s also more economical than the 2.0-litre dCi diesel model th a t carts around the 4x4 transmis­ sion. Around town, this is likely to fall to something more like 33mpg but that’s still not a disaster.
