For The 2.0-litre petrol is noticeably stronger than the 1.6, and the Nissan Qashqai 2.0 Visia 2WD gives you all the kit you need at a reasonable price.

Against It's pricey to run, so you'll be much better off with one of the 1.6-litre engines, the diesel particularly. Visia trim misses some desirable kit.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

The Nissan Qashqai 2.0 Visia has funky 4x4 styling and a roomy, practical cabin, making it ideal for families. You'll find the extra power of the 2.0-litre useful, but we prefer the 1.6.
