The NISSAN QASHQAI+2 (2009-10) 5DR SUV 2WD 2.0 DCI N-TEC 6SPD is a family-sized crossover: higher-riding and more practical than a regular hatchback, with the Qashqai’s familiar compact-SUV shape and two extra occasional seats. It sits among mainstream used family SUVs rather than premium models. With front-wheel drive, a six-speed manual and a 2.0-litre diesel, this N-TEC version is suited to longer commutes, school runs and family trips, especially for buyers wanting useful space without a large 4x4. The extra seats are best treated as occasional, while the roomy cabin and raised driving position make everyday journeys straightforward. Against rivals such as the Kia Sportage and Hyundai ix35, its key appeal is seven-seat flexibility in a still-manageable footprint.
