DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR:
Here's the detailed review of the new 2022 Nissan Qashqai refreshed model (facelift). Checkout interior, exterior design changes. features, safety and technology details, Nissan's ProPilot assist, adaptive LED headlights, seating comfort, performance and other important information about this crossover SUV.

Standard safety kit for the most expensive model includes seven airbags (including a side airbag between the driver and passenger), autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning and assist, blind spot detection and intervention, rear cross traffic alert and traffic sign recognition.

As far as in-car technology goes, there’s a 10.8-inch head-up display, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a large 9.0-inch infotainment display that offers wireless Apple CarPlay.

A 15W wireless phone charger is also on board. And there’s a single USB (Type C) up front, while in the rear there’s a further two outlets – one Type A and the other Type C.

Other valuable additions include a glass panoramic roof (and electric blind), Bose premium sound system, large 20-inch alloy rims and free Pro-PILOT semi-autonomous cruise control that features lane keep assist.

Boosting comfort, the Tekna+ also features quilted leather seats with a massage function.

In the UK, even base variants come with 17-inch alloy rims, a 7.0- or 8.0-inch infotainment system and adaptive cruise control.

In Australia, the new QASHQAI will be covered by Nissan’s factory warranty, which currently stands at five years (with unlimited kilometres for that period) and five years of 24-hour roadside assistance.

A capped-price servicing program is sure to be in place, and service intervals are expected to be very competitive at 12 months or 20,000km, depending on the powertrain.

As mentioned, the Australian powertrain line-up for the all-new 2022 Nissan QASHQAI is still to be confirmed.

But the safe money is the outgoing model’s naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (106kW/200Nm) will be finally pensioned off and replaced by a development of Renault-Nissan’s latest turbocharged 1.3-litre four-cylinder unit – the same engine that also appears under the bonnet of the Mercedes-Benz A 200.

In Europe, the 1.3-litre turbo also comes in a 103kW variant.

It’s been tipped that Australia will get a revised version of the small turbo without electrification. In a sign of the times, there won’t be a diesel model.

There will also be a familiar number of permanent model grades – currently ST, ST+, ST-L and Ti – that offer plenty of choice right up to the $40,000 mark, or even slightly beyond.

The 2022 Nissan Qashqai will arrive in Australian showrooms in early 2022 with a wide active safety suite as standard, a new turbocharged engine and, by the end of 2022, a hybrid option.

Four variants of Nissan's new small SUV will be offered in Australia, spanning from the entry-level Qashqai ST to the flagship Ti – all equipped with notably longer lists of standard equipment, with auto LED headlights, an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-equipped touchscreen, a digital instrument display, and a near-complete suite of active safety systems.

Pricing is yet to be announced, however the new Qashqai's larger body (in all directions), new architecture and increased standard equipment levels are likely to see prices rise by a few thousand dollars over the outgoing automatic model, priced from $30,590 before on-road costs – potentially approaching the $35,000 mark.
