these reviews are so good that i watch them even with no intention of buying the car.

We just bought a Qashqai Ti nearly 4 weeks ago in regional NSW and already put close to 2, 000 kms on it. We looked at the Toyota Carolla Cross, good but too long a wait and dead set ugly, VW T-ROC R, nice to drive, lots of goodies but no real space in the rear seats for our tall children, Skoda Karoq, nice car all round but to bring up all the goodies my wife wanted we'd be in for $60+K. Went and looked at the 2023 Qashqai Ti, coming from a 3.0 ltr Jeep turbo diesel to this 1.3 litre turbo, we were completely surprised as to the performance of this vehicle. Even without putting it into 'Sports' mode the Qashqai has plenty of poke for passing and a lot of get-up-and-go, it is extremely quiet, has great road handling (haven't found the uneasiness of undulating roads) great stopping, it was raining the other day and I warned my wife I was going to do a hard brake test, so at about 90 kph I planted my foot on the brake, stopped dead straight, no hassle or fade. The fuel economy at the moment is averaging 6.3 l/ph so that is impressive, its only problem is learning all of the dashboard electronics. All up the drive-away price with a tow bar etc $53K - VERY HAPPY

The 1.3L engine is sourced from Renault (HR13DDT). Mecedes use this engine (M282) in A200 (120KW) and A180 (100KW).

I'd love to see Headlight tests also included in reviews. I understand it would be difficult for filming, however it is a considerable feature of most car buyers, particularly in more rural/country areas. Not to mention, it really shows the benefits of 'matrix' LED style set ups etc.

I was today years old when I found out it's pronounced Cash-Kai. I have been calling it Cashee and no wonder no one knows which car I'm talking about. These videos about SUV's have been so helpful and informative making it easier to narrow down cars to choose from, but now I also know how to pronounce the names too :)

[nswgarbo]

Lovely review Paul! Nice how you are doing horn tests now as not many other car reviewers to that test. Great video! The Qashqai looks great too!

[dziz]

I'm watching you especially for off road testing, regards from Poland! 👍

We had a Qashqai on order, but upon inspection and testing, went with a Mazda CX5 Touring Active (same $$ as the Qashqai ). The CX5, although slightly bigger, was smoother, quieter, handled WAY better, seats were more comfortable, and strength of interior and exterior build was superior.

[alexrobinson]

Just a suggestion. Interior lighting (and exterior welcome lighting) would be nice to see. Many times have I had a vastly different experience of a car by night, compared to a test drive by day.

[samy]

Very nice design and very luxurious as well. But this kind of price I was expecting to be AWD!

[mrz]

been waiting for the qashqai reviews for a while, they all seem to have uploaded today from everyone haha.
but best looking small suv in its class. unfortunately its too expensive for us.

[garycusack]

WHY DONT COMPANIES GIVE YOU THE LOW SPEC CARS TO TEST NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD A HIGH SPEC CAR

[zaamuro]

No piano black in the centre console! Good job Nissan

[SuperSymbol]

Rear reminds me of Toyota. We have 2019 Qashqai and to be honest, 360 camera haven’t changed. The 360 can be improved

[malcolmjackson]

Hi Paul just waiting for mine to arrive and was waiting for this review I have test driven one and was pretty happy with it but living with one will be the big story

[therealmvp]

Hey Paul, as more and more families are ending up needing extra storage on the roof, would you be able to include the roof rating of the vehicle within the walkthrough. Maybe near when the roof rails are mentioned. As some cars on average hold 75 and then some cars have as little as 50. Great review as always 👍🏻

[jasonschembriify]

The Qashqai has come a long way since the original in 2015. I've owned a 2015 TI since new and it's been a very solid car. It now looks very basic compared to this!

Its just amazing how much power modern engines can make. 1.3L is less than a size of a coke bottle. I think turbo is doing much of the work

[VnnV]

Would love to see the new BMW X1 (especially iX1) and the Subaru Outback XT 2.4L turbo reviewed on your channel!

[samlegend]

Hi Paul, I hope you are doing well and thank you for your hard work. I was looking for Kia Cerato review on you channel but I think you have not reviewed one yet. I ordered Kia Cerato 2023 Sports+ yesterday. I would be truly appreciated if you can review the new Kia Cerato if you can. As far as I am concerned, Cerato has huge sell in Australia. Hope you see my comment.
THANK YOU PAUL
