1.6D now.
Mad altogether!

Also 1.6 turbo petrol...

mickdw

Thats not bad - if you were into that type of thing.
Go like hot cakes yet again no doubt.

Autosport

When is it going to be sold here??

colm_mcm

Arse will fall out of the old model prices by Saturday.

It'll be Rav4 all over again...

Its like 2007 all over again....

Autosport

Will they have the +1 version.

MuppetCheck

That's actually not bad. Much better than the current one even alloying for 6 or 7 years time passing.

MadYaker

All the ones you'll see in Ireland won't have those lights, alloys or fogs. Or the leather interior.

Drummerboy08

Should see it towards the end of Feb 2014.


Dont think the old model's value will be hit too bad either - its almost like the golf at this stage.

A qashqai is a qashqai.

carsfan

looks exactly like a shrunken version of the new x trail they revealed in September. even the same wheels and interior

Well the new X-Trail will replace the old Qashqai+2 so that would make sense. In reality they just changed the name of the new +2 and give it a more rugged image.

Wheelnut

Is it a bit Pew-Joe-esque at the rear, especially the tail-lights?

CianRyan

Looks tough, I like it.

If the 1.6 petrol is the MR16DET (it is, I'll put money on it), that's the engine from the new Clio RS and the Juke Nismo.

colm_mcm

There's also a 1.2 turbo, as seen in the renault grand scenic.

Think the engine code is M12ERY

What's the world coming to...

CianRyan

Now that's just too small for the car.

Can't bate 200bhp from the 1.6 though.

Leonard Hofstadter

Thought the only petrol engine in the Cashcow now is a 1.2 turbo lump? Not that anyone in Ireland will buy the petrol model anyway, in fact will they even bother offering a petrol engine in Ireland? Also, as far as I know, the entry level diesel is still the 1.5, with 110 bhp, the 1.6 dCi is the more powerful model only and has 130 bhp.

Also, they've ditched the proper independent multi link rear suspension in the new car unless you order one with four wheel drive... not that the average Qashqai buyer even knows that there's different types of suspension in the first place....

Stinicker

I'd love to get my hands on one of these and go around blowing these qashqai's and the idiots who buy them from here to kingdom come. Idiots in a total crapbox.

And what would you choose in this segment? An i3?

Moses7

I kind of like it. Nothing revolutionary, but a good evolution compared to the first gen model.

the interior looks much nicer.

JohnBoy26

That looks very similar to a Santa Fe Imo.

muckwarrior

Yeah, looks like they had a meeting and decided "Lets make it look like a Hyundai".

jcoll688

Looks a lot like the new Suzuki SCross

http://irishcarman.blogspot.ie/2013/09/suzuki-reveals-prices-of-new-s-cross-in.html

munchkin_utd

what is the point of these cars?
Its not for transport as they have useless boot space, or cross country as they just cant.
And they arent a status symbol either

so whats the point except "high driving position" which could be offered in a less "fake cross country" manner by an smax or cmax or bmax etc.

i dont get it

What's the point?
People like them and they sell well.

SEAGF

Which looks like the old Qashqai

Stallingrad

Far more generic now, could be anything, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, etc. The previous model was distinctive and original, this is not.

It's definitely looks like a Hyundai from the sides, a little bit of Toyota from the front and has rear tail light akin to a ford Imo.

Looks very Impressive. I hope they get the pricing right.

galwaytt

I like it. It's def donning a cap in the direction of a Kia/Hyundai though - which is not necessarily a bad thing btw.

1.6 petrol turbo auto w/leather please, tks. Ye can keep yer Demon fuel ones.

Gael23

When can we expect to have info on prices?

pippip

I like the rear lights. You'd know it was a Ford from those lights alone, very similar to the mondeo. Nice style to them. Much better than the last versions.

Northern Monkey

Looks like the love child of a Ford Kuga and Saab 95.

They're not crapboxes from what I gather, I know at least 3 people who have them, two families and one elderly couple, none of whom I'd describe as idiots. All are more than happy with them, seem to be well built and reliable which is what a lot of people want.

You might not like them, doesn't mean that everybody who buys the mis an idiot.

Haha you can get it with a 1.2! How much does it weigh I wonder???

Gael23

Some of those top end models are too expensive for the irish market. For a top spec Diesel your looking at €30k and upwards

Wheelnut

Puncture repair kit €100-00 ! :eek:

I presume that means there is no spare and they're charging €100 for a can of goo, I think I've lost interest in the Qashqai already!

Supergurrier

Looks like a Toyota Avensis mated with an old one with a mix of Kia back in thrown in there

Malcolm.

Looks like a cross between the Nissan Puke and the Nissan Queef.

Hyundai should do well out of it.

veetwin

Quite telling on the price list that they concentrate on the emissions and tax bands and no mention of bhp. Suggests they think their target audience don't care.

colm_mcm

They'd be right to be fair. Nissan can't put a foot wrong as far as the Qashqai is concerned, its like a modern day second gen Rav4, its the one people want. As seen with the Rav though, Nissan need to keep listening to the people that are buying them as something else will come along to woo those buyers.

They are broadly similar to their competitors for price.

The top end Skoda Yeti is more expensive.

The government take so much of the purchase cost in tax, anything half good costs 30k.

Jesus.

That 1.2 would be absolutely gutless in that yoke. I'm still waking up in cold sweats at night having dreamt of one liter Mondeos being flogged to Paddy in their thousands.

Thankfully such a frightful thing could never happen in real life...................................could it?
