The NISSAN QASHQAI+2 (2009-10) 5DR SUV 4WD 2.0 N-TEC 6SPD is a compact family SUV with a useful third row. In the UK market it bridges hatchbacks and larger people carriers, adding raised seating and occasional extra passenger space without a bulky footprint. With seven-seat flexibility, it suits families needing occasional extra seats, school runs and holidays, while its manageable size also suits commuting. The 2.0-litre petrol engine, four-wheel drive and six-speed manual offer added confidence on slippery roads, but may cost more to run than smaller, two-wheel-drive rivals. Its practical cabin and higher driving position are appealing. Mycarcheck.com records 10 checks across five VINs, a modest sample. These cars averaged 114,000 miles, 8,000 miles annually and 3.3 previous keepers; average private-sale value was £3,600. Against the Kia Sportage and Hyundai ix35, the Qashqai+2’s extra seats are a notable distinction. Check each car’s history and condition carefully, particularly at this age.
