For The 2.0-litre petrol is noticeably stronger than the 1.6, and N-Tec models have luxuries including sat-nav.

Against Fuel bills won't be cheap, so you're better off with one of the 1.6 engines, be it the petrol or the diesel.

The extra power of the 2.0-litre is useful, but this version is too pricey to recommend, both to buy and to run.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Qashqai may look like a 4x4, but we reckon its talents lie with the two-wheel-drive versions. You get the high-set driving position without the higher running costs four-wheel drive brings.

There are four trims. Visia is the cheapest and comes with plenty: Bluetooth, four electric windows, air-con, remote locking and alloy wheels. Safety provision includes six airbags and stability control.

Acenta is our favourite, adding desirable goodies like cruise control and parking sensors. Then come n-tec and Tekna models , both of which have a panoramic sunroof.

Most private buyers will be best off with the 1.6 petrol, while the 1.6 diesel is the top choice for company car drivers. Both offer reasonable performance and economy. Keep an eye out for low finance or free servicing offers on the Qashqai.
