Nissan Dualis / Qashqai

Bought this car at 100000k’s, 2014 , 2.0l CVT. The car is very under powered and the transmission is erratic to say the least. The finish on the car is good, but the weight to
Power ratio sucks.

The car also burns oil excessively, typical of a Nissan with a Renault engine. Looks very cheap under the hood. I would not recommend to purchase this car.

Had this car for 7 months now, heaps of bang for my buck.
Bought it as a demonstrator and this is my second Nissan.
All the bells and whistles and features expected from a high end vehicle.

I hired this vehicle while on holiday and had instant regrets. It’s boxy, has no power, handles poorly and has way too much going on inside the vehicle. If this is the type of car you want, shop around for other makes, as this one will disappoint. Can’t wait to get home and back behind the wheel of my Tesla. Legacy car makers are doomed.

Ours is a 10/2013 1.6L 6 spd manual diesel Dualis, purchased 27Sep21 with 103,400kms on the clock. At last fuel fill-up it had done 986 kms and I managed to squeeze 50 litres into the tank, = 5.071 litres per 100kms; = 1281kms for its 65 litre tank. It's comfortable and eats up the miles with ease so why didn't I give it 5 stars? Because Nissan claim it should average 1,444 kms per 65L tank and even using premium diesel I cannot get anywhere near that, even with mostly country driving where Nissan claims it can achieve 1,660 kms. Hmmm...

I got the car second hand with only 50,000kms on the clock, 2 years old. Loved it to begin with but in the 3 years I've had it, it's been part after part failing. First it was the tyres, constantly getting bubbles even in the new tyres. I have since purchased more expensive tyres and haven't had issues just yet. Next was the radiator fan assembly, had to replace the whole thing. Now its a leak in the evaporator so I have no AC, I live in +35 degrees with 90% humidity, this is not okay. So I am having to pay over 2k to have it replaced. Great car with amazing specs, but just beware its costly to fix. Leather seats also split so needs to be upholstered which is another cost.

great car , very economic isopod compatible and stylish car .black clean interior. great for going to work use it daily . every 10000 km i do the service which help with fuel and other smoothness of feh drive . not issues so far have been using it for 5 years now very happy .

used privately
used almost daily before covid now used once to twice per week for shopping or doctors appointments
serviced at recommended intervals dealers log book service
never had any issues mentioned by mechanic

Bought this car for my wife and she is enjoying it. It isn’t a driving enthusiast car but for my wife, it suits her very well.
The CVT gives a “rubber band” experience when the transmission operates but she doesn’t mind it a bit. The shift is seamless and the rest of the features are delightful. Electronic parking brakes, 360 degrees camera, anti collision braking, GPS are some of the features that she loved.
The only negative is the lack of auto headlights sensor. The lack of Apple CarPlay doesn’t bother her because the mobile phone link up works. Size-wise, power to weight ratio and pleasant body design suits her to the tee.

My car is used for family transport which is serviced regularly by a non dealer mechanic, it is now just over 12 months old & the issue I have had has been the navigation system which was out of date at time of purchase by about 2years, it took nearly 12 months to get an update after many many phone & emails to dealer & Nissan Australia. Very happy with the vehicle otherwise but after sales efforts from Nissan Australia is something less than desirable

Bought brand new in 2010. Mainly used for daily commuting to and from work, the dog park on weekends and the odd road holiday.
Its been really cheap to service once I stopped going to the dealership. I get it serviced twice a year or every 10000km. Does need a gasket replaced next service, other than that I haven't had any issues with it. Its spacious inside, comfortable seats, good air-conditioning, split back seat, huge boot space and the dog likes it.
Tyres can be a bit pricey - Ive got duellers on it as khumo had no grip in the wet.

This car has so much road noise, large turning circle for its size and the sound system is so poor I can’t even listen to it. I loved music in the car but Nissan you have gone cheap and nasty. Never buy another Nissan .

I have owned the Nissan Qashqai since June 2018 and its performance is exceptional. Perfect for both city and country driving with excellent fuel economy. Very spacious with good climate control.

This is my everyday car to and from work and travelling to sports in rural areas. I get my car serviced every 10,00,000km for main service and every 500,000km for the timing chain to make sure it stays in condition as it can be an issue in all cars with timing chains as they become slack better to prevent then break and replace I’ve done this under mechanical advice. All in all great car lovely power when overtaking and smooth on the roads

Bought this car brand new and have had hardly any problems since owning it. After a few months I noticed the tiniest bit of rust where some of the joins are on a couple of my passenger doors but took it to Nissan for a warranty claim and they fixed it without too many dramas. Have been getting it serviced at Nissan as well and the car still runs great, handles great, is really comfortable and economical on fuel. Three years later it drives exactly the same as when I bought it. As far as engine performance goes it does lack a bit of power especi...

Four year old Qashqai with a crack from an edge then right up the middle of the inner sheet of laminated glass. No damage on the external sheet of laminated glass, so my assumption is that it is a manufacture fault. Nissan have rejected my claim as there is a clause in the warranty about glass and the car is 12 months out of warranty. A significant cost to replace (almost $3000), so I am very disillusioned with Nissan Australia.
