What causes fan on for around 5mins after the engine is off? – What causes fan on for at less 5mins after the engine is off especially reverse park my Nissan qashqai? Coolant replace every second year and the water temperature always stay below half on the cold side. Is that possible CVT is overheating? Show details
Update to my review from 2015 – Overall, it’s a very good car / economical and good performance especially on the open road. It is now 8.5 years old (Diesel) with 87 000km. It's only been serviced by Nissan and on to its third set of tyres. Nearly everything works, however: In winter the tailgate doesn’t stay up in cold weather, and it acts like a guillotine if you’re not… Read more
careful. Occasionally the fan won’t turn off, so I solve this when it happens by driving around the block. I worked out it mainly happens if I reverse up a hill or incline, or after a long freeway drive. The air-conditioner is usually very efficient when used for travelling to and from work and shorter trips, however, it cuts out after an hour or so. On longer trips in hot weather, it suddenly blows air that is hotter than leaving the windows open, which is not ideal when travelling on freeways or behind large trucks. Being a diesel, it’s important to take it for a good run every now and again, and I’ve learnt how to override some of the filter warnings.

Basic, but practical – This is the swan song special edition review of the second generation Nissan Qashqai. To be specific, Nissan has built over 1.2 million units of the second generation Qashqai. By the time we’d reviewed this Qashqai Midnight edition, a new Qashqai had already been announced. When Nissan handed me the keys to the Qashqai Midnight edition, one… Read more
question was on my mind: Should someone buy this generation Qashqai, or simply buy the new 3rd generation?
I was generally quite impressed with the build quality of the Qashqai, with most touch points being solid and sturdy.
On the outside, the Qashqai is absolutely to spec. There was nothing obvious that would indicate that you had large panel gaps or poorly fitted plastic trim. It’s all typical Japanese fit and finish on the exterior. Moving inside, most pieces of trim were of decent quality.
What I wasn’t a fan of were the door handles, which just felt a tiny bit too cheap, made of exceptionally hard plastics. In addition, up on the dash, there was a trim piece that ran along the base of the windshield, where the far edges were visibly raised above the dashboard itself.
The 2nd generation Nissan Qashqai range started from $28,290 drive-away. If you wanted better lights, seats, wheels, cameras, and tech, you needed to up the ante to this Qashqai Midnight edition, which started from $37,690 drive-away.
As for maintenance, the Qashqai comes with a standard 5 year/unlimited kilometres warranty, which provides plenty of coverage over a reasonable amount of time.
This is where I desperately wished the Qashqai came with a turbo, or a hybrid option. Driving around town and on the highway, this Nissan provides pretty good sound isolation from the tires and outside world.
That’s until you need to accelerate, which is when the drone of the CVT and the naturally aspirated motor announce their presence.
CVT transmissions don’t actually change gears, they usually hold a rev and ride that rpm all the way up to speed. Combine this with a naturally aspirated motor, which usually delivers its power at the high end of the revs (aka the loudest part), and you get plenty of engine noise when modulating the accelerator.
Another noise intrusion comes in the form of a loud suspension knock that announces its presence when driving just a smidge too fast over speed bumps, or in slightly deeper potholes.
Braking in the Qashqai was an element that upon reflection, really impressed greatly helped by how light the Qashqai weighs, which comes in around 1300kg.
Brakes are progressive and will bring the car to a stop as you would expect. In addition, you have emergency autonomous braking systems which will help you brake a little earlier than you would in the event of an emergency. There’s also the use of an emergency brake warning, which will alert you if the car detects you’re about to run into an obstacle or another car.
You’re likely not buying a Qashqai for its straight-line speed, however, the 106kW and 200Nm produced from this naturally aspirated four cylinder definitely deliver reasonable performance.
Acceleration is around the 10 second mark to 100km/h, but that doesn’t really matter. What does matter is how the Qashqai performs, when getting up to speed, and for when you might need to accelerate to get around an obstacle. The overall power-to-weight ratio is around 78kW per tonne, which is actually nearly a full 10kW over the lighter and turbocharged Juke that I tested.
Combine this with the improved responsiveness of a naturally aspirated motor, and you have a relatively impressive motor that can get this Qashqai moving.
The CVT transmission does a fine job at getting the car up to speed, as it’s not banging through gears, instead, just riding the revs out to the speed you need it to be at.
Would I see this transmission as being capable of the ultimate test of a single lane highway overtake? Sure! However, just be ready to put the pedal to the metal, as you really need to rev this motor out to extract all of its power.
Combined, Nissan claims the Qashqai will achieve an urban fuel consumption figure of 9.2L per 100km, or 6.9L per 100km combined.
What was the fuel efficiency I managed to get when travelling predominantly around dense urban areas? 9.1L per 100 km is what I achieved.
The Qashqai is stripped down to the bare essentials inside. There’s nothing here that’s designed to be eye-catching or different, everything in here serves its purpose to the bare minimum.
However, the 7-inch touchscreen is an exception, for two reasons. One, it’s incredibly responsive for a lower cost SUV, and two, it has a unique coating on the surface which helps with swiping movements but also prevents fingerprints from remaining on the touch screen. This is something that I wish more cars featured on their screens.
The flat bottom steering wheel is meant to evoke a bit more visual theatre, but obviously doesn’t translate what the car’s core purpose as a family car.
I loved the use of leather and Alcantara throughout the interior, paired with the other Midnight edition appointments, like the illuminated ‘Qashqai’ door sill. These help lift the interior of the Qashqai into something that feels a little more premium.
There are some weird omissions - including no rear air vents, no rear USB ports (there is only one USB port for the entire cabin), and no lights for the vanity mirrors found in the sun visors.
The Qashqai boasts 430L of boot space, with the seats up, and up to 1598L with the rear row folded down.
Seats fold in a 60:40 split, which allows a parent and a baby seat to remain in place, and fold down one seat to pass through additional cargo.
In summer, I wouldn’t envy rear passengers, as there are no adjustable air vents found in the rear. Instead, passengers will need to ask the front occupants to blast the AC so they can cool down in the back.
Along with the missing AC vents, the single USB port will prove to be a pain, as it’s the only way to display Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on the centre screen. This means that anyone who wants to use that USB port will need to disable whatever functions you were using with your smartphone. When you add the fact that the centre console lid doesn’t fold flat, this makes plugging in your device from the rear seats a bit of a pain.
In short, put this generation Qashqai on your list. It’s genuinely quite good, however, make sure you work out a good deal from your dealership or seller.

I love my Qashqai! – After years of going through multiple cars that were sub-par, I finally found a car suited to my needs. Comfortable, economical and smooth to drive, the Qashqai for me has been an excellent car in my one year of owning it. Getting 600+ kms to a tank with mostly city driving - the furthest I went was from Adelaide to Victoria, totalling 730 kms… Read more
before needing to fill up. It's surprisingly fuel efficient. A 30 minute drive without many stops gets about 5.3-5.5L per 100 kms. It averages 8 to 9 with city driving.
Its quick enough to get up to speed, transmission is smooth and it's responsive.
The stereo system connects to Bluetooth almost faultlessly every time but the hands free microphone is basic, callers on the other end have a hard time hearing you.
You don't have all the added bells and whistles most newer cars have, but it doesn't need it. The car just let's you drive!
Servicing has also been cheap.
Very happy with my Qashqai!
best car safe for babies and car seats – 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 .

Nissan qashqai ti is all looks and no performance. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! – Ok - you want objective and accurate facts? The Nissan Qashqai TI is a vehicle to avoid for many reasons. Yes - it looks wonderful in the driveway, eg: you can reverse out with ease due to the 360 degrees around view monitor, but that's where it loses its edge. While riding fabulously high & up with the big boys, the car's technology is heavy… Read more
towards being parked or avoiding low-speed collisions. Around town, the CVT motor acts jerkily & is unresolved until above 90 km's. At that point, it transforms into a regal ride, sitting on it's 19 inch alloy rims, but I don't spend my life commuting. Not a smooth ride from 20 to 90km's, no refinement in engine control and braking is spongy at best. So, like any female fashion Model showing off a size zero body, it's all looks and no performance when and where you need it - proving that nobody, and especially not a AUD $41,000 SUV like the Nissan Qashqai, can survive on just looks alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nissan Qashqai St-L – Very Cheap built, I had 2017 TS 1.6 diesel, work very well and recently upgrade (actually downgrade) it to ST-L 2019 model , very disappointed with a quality and lots of feature missing. For $32,000 (but some dealers offer $29K I paid $30k) car No rain sensor, wheel looks great but wheel button are too small, lights bulbs ordinary, electric park… Read more

Still loving it years later – 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… Read more
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 especially when accelerating hard to get onto the highway - it will increase in revs then die down dramatically then increase again. Not a major drama for me as all I do is use it to get around town for errands, but my rev-head partner finds performance lacking compared to his turbo petrol car. All in all if this one was written off I would in a heartbeat purchase another one. Have never been so happy with the amount of inclusive safety and comfort features within a vehicle for the price I paid for it!!! Virtually a Qashqai lover for life!!!
A thoroughly adequate car with out being special. Great packaging (though not a "family" car). Good ride and handling – 2019 Qashqai ST, automatic, white. This Qashqai was a long term (six months) work vehicle. Usage was commuting with some other driving, normally with one driver. Key specs Length = 4.39m Weight = 1376kg 2L 4 cylinder, 106kW (@6,600rpm), 200Nm (@4,400rpm) CVT auto The Qashqai is a thoroughly adequate vehicle with good ergonomics and comfort,… Read more
great packaging, solid ride and handling with few vices. What you see is what you get.
Design and Features Despite being an older design it remains attractive on the outside. A nice colour and tinted windows would have been much nicer. The interior design is clean and pleasant, being neither offensive nor offering anything special (e.g. an elevated sense of “niceness”). It’s an uncomplicated car that’s quick to get comfortable in, with most controls being easy to understand and use.
Stand out features include an electronic handbrake, keyless entry/stop/start and a leather steering wheel. The air flow on high is genuinely sensational. I’ve never had a car with better ventilation, though there are no rear vents. AEB, forward collision warning and lane departure warning are welcome additions. Other features such as “Trace Control” showed no discernible difference.
The single most annoying feature on the car is the phone operation, and it’s very annoying. Using it requires looking at the central screen at the same time as using steering wheel controls with two different hands (left hand for scrolling, right hand for selection and cancellation). Additionally the selection button is to the left of the cancellation/back button, something I find counter intuitive. In total, this needs far more concentration than what is natural and easy.
Dialling a contact is especially difficult. If the person you want is in the car’s recent calls or saved numbers, you’re ok. But if you need to find it in your phone’s phonebook, you need to manually click though one-by-one. Finding “mum” in the alphabetical list took minutes of RSI inducing clicking. You definitely want to save key contacts directly in to the car.
(Note: this is now addressed in new models by way of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto)
How it Drives The car is reasonably quiet with good comfort in the suspension. The steering is very light and quick, the car proving very nimble and easy to drive. You might expect that the increased ride height of the SUV means you can’t have ride and handling, but this isn’t the case. There’s no excessive pitching or body movement.
Performance wise. It’s adequate and decent. A little slow off the line, but once moving the car gets going when it needs to. The power to weight ratio is not particularly strong and peak torque does appear high in the rev range at 4,400rpm. But the CVT, like many modern transmissions is what makes the difference. Ease on the throttle and it will slide the revs up to access power. This lends to an effortlessness at low to mid throttle, though you will hear the engine. Essentially a good CVT transmission will hide (in a good way) what would other wise be a torque deficit. If you’ve come from a older car with a conventional four speed automatic transmission the increased options of ratios is significant and a revelation.
On paper the 2L engine has a strong specific torque output (100Nm/L) but a lower specific power output. For comparison, my 1.8L Corolla has almost the same power but with the reduced torque you’d expect from 1.8L. This is interesting, but ultimately just means that the Nissan engine doesn’t hold it’s torque output as much and for as long as other engines.
The CVT’s “manual” shifting operation is a disappointment. Choose a low “gear” and accelerate and it will upshift near the redline - like an auto. Choose a high gear and floor it, it doesn’t hold the gear but raises the RPM - like an auto. There’s little point of a manual mode like this. However, it remains good for engine braking down hills.
Practicality Let’s get one thing straight. SUV’s aren’t automatically spacious. They are higher and normally have better headroom than a hatch, both of which are true in this case.
Objectively, SUV’s are inferior in most ways - higher purchase price, heavier, greater fuel consumption, reduced acceleration (/braking/cornering), more expensive tyres. On the plus side you get the “niceness factor” of the height, easier entry and exit (good for elderly and those with child seats). The rear door opening generally remains higher for longer, especially compared to a sedan.
So how dos the Qashqai, a small SUV compare to small hatch? Yes, the ride height and headroom are there but the interior space is otherwise in the same ballpark. Boot space, at 430L, is great for it’s class (the HRV and Seltos offer slightly more) and better than most hatches (you’ll often see 300-400L). In this case the rear seats fold down but with a step up from the boot floor.
Legroom is fine, but neither great nor generous, at least in absolute terms. Keep in mind it’s only 4.39m long, so the space offered is very good for the length of the car.
If you had a rear-facing child seat then the front seat occupants would be squished (knees on or near the dash etc). If you had a pram it could well consume half the boot floor. So here’s the thing - many SUV advantages suit families, but families need increased space too and there’s just not enough in the Qashqai to be a serious family car. With older children (out of rear-facing) seats and no pram it would be viable but you’d probably want more legroom (and door opening) in the back.
If you’ve got shorter passengers or the back seats are occasional use then it’s got good fit for purpose. It’ll be adequate. The centre console is especially deep.
Costs, Servicing and Reliability This car was provided by my work with fuel included and no servicing, repairs or consumables required in the time of having the car. As such no meaningful information can be provided.
Summary In the context of small SUV’s the Qashqai is really comfortable and honest, it has great practicality and comfort for what it is. Phone operation aside, there’s nothing wrong with it. If you like the look and feel and don’t mind CVT’s, it’s probably a good car for you. At the same time, it’s not premium, the design, materials and controls don’t go above and beyond to satisfy you the way a CH-R, Subaru or a Mazda would. So it comes down to personal preference.
Also Consider Seltos and HRV if you need more space and niceness. Normal sedans and hatches if you don’t need the height - there’s several with great legroom (Subaru XV/Impreza, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Skoda Octavia, previous generation Corolla sedan, Honda Jazz). “Medium” SUV’s or other more spacious cars if that’s what you need
Total Lemon – Don’t be fooled. Car purchased in 2015 from Liverpool Nissan NSW. Used for work commute and weekend travel - 200kms give and take so regular services done. 160k on the clock. Within 4.5 years I have replaced 4 batteries - only 1 replaced under warranty as it was within the year of purchase. Transmission replaced, fan belt replaced, intercooler… Read more
replacement, pipe that connects to turbo replaced, moon roof second time replaced due to material not rolling back smoothly. First time warranty second time out of pocket. Centre console light bulb blown, seat clippings continuously coming undone. Close to 12k repairs paid on car to date. Current dispute with Nissan Australia. Clearly I’ve been sold a Lemon. I was told battery replacements were caused from the stop start feature. Why have a feature that doesn’t support the product. I always turn that feature off anyhow. Chullora Sutton’s wanted to charge me $529 for a battery. $286 for diagnostic testing, only to be told the day before collection that needed a new alternator and a new battery. I thought a car is thoroughly checked during diagnostics not after the turbo pipe was replaced. DO NOT BUY A NISSAN UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW YOU BY FIRST NAME BASIS HENCE THE ANOUNT OF REPAIRS.

Reliable and comfortable TS 1.6 DCI diesel engine – Update to a review from 4 years ago when vehicle had travelled 52,000kms. Vehicle has now travelled 123,000 kms and is a pleasure to drive. Repairs: 1 battery, new Michelin tyres at 85000 km and one rear turn indicator globe. I mainly use the vehicle for country driving with some city commuting. I bought the vehicle new from Lakeside Nissan and… Read more
have them service the vehicle every 10,000 kms. Fuel consumption @ 5.3 litres/100kms.
In these reviews I see a lot of negative comments on CVT's. The diesel Qashqai uses a pull chain CVT box and it does what it is designed to do, that is maintain engine revolutions at the most efficient RPM for the imposed load. For normal suburban 0-80 kmh roads the engine runs in the range of 1400-1700 RPM and up to 1900 RPM at 100-110 kmh on flat roads and up to 2500 RPM on steep hills.
This car is perfect for my needs – We bought this car as our family had grown. We had two grandchildren and it was hard leaning into my Elantra to do car seats etc. This is the perfect height. It is smooth to drive, comfort is great for long distance travel, and the extras on the ti are amazing. The sensors all around the car make parking a breeze. I have the car serviced regularly and have had no issues. Show details
Glad we chose this car – We live in a country town and use the car for short trips around town, and much longer trips to visit family or go on holidays. After having smaller cars, we decided an SUV would be much more practical as we got older (Higher seats, easy to enter and exit) and would also have plenty of room for our luggage when travelling. We had tried a Qashqai… Read more
as a hire car for a holiday in WA and really liked it. We looked around at a few other models, but kept coming back to the Qashqai. Bought it a year ago and it has just had it's 10000 km service at the dealership. Absolutely no issues with the car at all. Easy to handle, very comfortable, even on long trips and also liked the cap priced servicing as we know exactly how much things will cost.

light stopped working Car is more wobbly than normal. Though Nissan is a good and durable car. So disappointed.
Wasting money for this car – Replace all break units, battery and tyres just after 40k. Radiator fan replace after 60k. Using cheap parts for new car and spent money for replace. Not worth it. Replacing parts are more expensive than regular logbook service. Show details
This car is by far the worst ive ever purchased – 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. Show details

Great 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. Show details
This car is awful – 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. Show details
Love the car - but SO much goes wrong – 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,… Read more
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.
very good – 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 Show details
Well made small SUV – 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… Read more
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.
Good car BUT – 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.

Awesome Power – 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 Show details
Cracked Sunroof – 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. Show details
Not too bad, except – 2019 Nissan Qashqai ST-L 2.0L petrol: Brought the car used only last year with just under 7,000km from the Nissan dealership and it has been pretty decent; good amount of tech, leather seats, good looking, etc. Around a month after we took the car for a service, we started hearing a whistling or cricket noise from the left C-pillar of the car and… Read more
we took it to the Nissan dealer and they said the number plates weren't fitted correctly so they fixed it; The problem then subsided for a bit of time until the same noise came back (but louder) so we need to take it back to the dealer again and the car only has 15,000km!
We previously had a 2010 Nissan X-Trail with 145,000km on the clock (When we traded it in) and it didn't have a single problem! They don't make Nissans like they used to, quite disappointed.
We are not to sure on what is causing the whistling or cricket noise from the left C-pillar of the car so if you know the answer, please answer below.
Absolutely love this car – Runs amazing. Have had for 3 years and not a single problem. I do find it hard when needing to purchase a tyre if you get a flat while travelling as it's not a common one that most tyre shops stock. Great sound system. Great to drive and park. No problems doing long road trips or just around town. This car is also excellent on fuel. Show details
Not high quality as I expected, had a brake failure – My 2018 Qashqai only 43,000 km on it got a brake failure in the middle of the road! The brake got stuck for no reason.

I've only had one issue - a friction sound from the steering column which, when investigated by Nissan, resulted in the steering column being replaced (free of charge, as the car was still under warranty). There's no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in this car, but I don't give two hoots about that. … Read more
Overall, this has been a comfortable, reliable car, with a decent amount of space given it's a compact SUV.
The only negative I've found is that it's a bit of a thirsty car - not as economical as some others in its class.
