Nissan has confirmed pricing for the first version of its all-new Qashqai.

The high-spec model will be available in two variants, priced from £29,270. Buyers will be able to choose from a 1.3-litre mild hybrid petrol with 138bhp and a six-speed manual transmission or a 156bhp version of the same engine mated to a Xtronic automatic gearbox. The auto version will cost £31,790.

Nissan says the all-new version of the Qashqai will reaffirm its place in the market with new drivetrains, technology and improved passenger space.

They will also feature a 10.8-inch head-up display, adaptive LED matrix headlights and be available with the brand’s Propilot driver assistance pack.
