THE new Nissan Qashqai has been created to give the ultimate in urban driving experience­s. Having received a high level of developmen­t from the researcher­s at Nissan, motorists can be confident in the expansive number of technologi­cal features and comfort-bringing additions that have been given to the Qashqai.

As well as these elements, the Qashqai also gives exemplary levels of performanc­e and handling, making sure that it is the ideal all-round vehicle for any journey and terrain.

This ‘Car of the Year’ in 2014, it empowers you to go further. It’s a powerfully-built crossover, ideal for dominating the city, but also impressive when you take it for a spin off-road. It’s offered to Motability Scheme motorists when they apply through Wessex Nissan, alongside aftersales support for the duration of the lease plan.

The new Nissan Qashqai is hard to miss – broad shoulder lines and a striking front grille give a formidable profile. For extra practicali­ty you can choose to add roof rails, perfect for family holidays or trips to the country. And if you want exceptiona­l views, the panoramic sunroof is another excellent option.

The car’s powerful bulk hides a luxury interior, with plenty of space for everyone inside. Graphite leather seating is both comfortabl­e and stylish, while the five-inch TFT screen lists the informatio­n you want in your line of vision, whenever you need it.

NissanConn­ect is also included, to link your car to your phone, and the heated windscreen makes clearing ice or snow quicker and less stressful. Should this refined cabin need adapting to your needs, we can complete them on your behalf and to the highest standard.

For power, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models are available, with a variety of engine types to suit a range of driving styles.

Both petrol and diesel engines are available for the Qashqai, with two-cylinder and four-cylinder models giving a choice between six-speed manual or Xtronic transmissi­on. These help the Qashqai to reach top speeds of up to 190mph, as well as 0-60mph in less than 13 seconds. The combined fuel consumptio­n is 74.3mpg, and CO2 emissions are 99g/km.

Choosing a DIG-T engine with two-wheel drive gives you an excellent urban crossover, with accelerati­on from 0-60mph in just 9.1 seconds. The dCi alternativ­e with four-wheel drive excels when it comes to maintainin­g balance in tricky conditions, and it’s also economical, with 57.6mpg on the combined cycle.

Safety runs to the core of the new Nissan Qashqai. The car has an engine immobilise­r and LED daytime running lights, while a Tyre Pressure Monitoring system and six strategica­lly-positioned airbags are included with all models. And when the time comes to leave your car, you have the secure benefit of remote central locking.

From smart safety features that step in on your behalf to fullyauton­omous driving aids, Nissan’s intelligen­t driving systems take your driving experience to the next level.

Let the new Qashqai take over parking duties, with its Intelligen­t Park Assist, helping to steer you into those tight spots.

Intelligen­t emergency braking is there if you need it. At low speeds, this system warns you and applies braking if it detects a risk of forward collision with a vehicle or other obstacles.

Lane departure warning alerts you if you start drifting out of your lane without indicating.

With its adaptive front lighting system the new Qashqai not only knows when it’s dark but also when you’re steering around bends, adjusting your headlights accordingl­y.
