The NISSAN QASHQAI (2013-17) 5DR SUV 2WD 1.6 DIG-T SS 163 EU6 N-TEC 6SPD is a family-sized compact SUV: higher-riding and more practical than a conventional hatchback, yet easier to park than a large 4x4. It sits among the UK’s familiar used crossovers, competing with the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and similar family cars. This N-TEC version has an appealing equipment-focused feel, while the 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine gives brisk, confident performance for joining faster roads and carrying passengers. Front-wheel drive suits everyday family life rather than serious off-roading. It works well for school runs, commuting and weekend trips, especially for buyers wanting SUV visibility without an oversized vehicle. Mycarcheck.com recorded 68 look-ups across 32 VINs, with an average private-sale valuation of £8,800. The checked cars averaged 56,000 miles, 6,000 annually and around 1.6 previous keepers, useful context when comparing examples and checking vehicle histories carefully.
