The Qashqai is getting a bit dated.
There’s Auto emergency breaking but it doesn’t detect pedestrians. Cruise control but not adaptive
There’s a navigation system but horrible map colours.
Some good safety features including rear cross traffic alert.
But noise from the road at motorway speeds is a bit intrusive.
Qashqai’s start at $26,500 but the Midnight is $36,200 plus on roads
This is a Motoring Minute
