Nissan QASHQAI – If you think dark sun glasses make you look good then a new edition of the Nissan Small SUV the Qashqai might be for you – it’s called Midnight
The black is in smallish details not something that makes it look like a funeral car or dressed by Johnny Cash
- 19-inch Black Wind alloy wheels,
- tinted headlight and tail-light clusters
- gloss-black grille, rear bumper blades, side mouldings, mirror caps and roof rails.

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
