The NISSAN QASHQAI (2013-17) 5DR SUV 2WD 1.6 DCI DPF SS 130 EU6 N-VISION 6SPD is a family SUV with raised seating and space, but less bulk than a 4x4.

This 1.6-litre diesel N-Vision, with a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, suits commuters and families seeking practicality and fewer fuel stops. It handles school runs, motorway journeys and weekend trips, while its manageable size makes town driving and parking easier than larger SUVs, making it a good all-round choice. mycarcheck.com recorded 33 checks across 18 VINs, a modest sample.
