Nissan Qashqai+2 1.5dCi n-tec road test
Like VW’s Touareg, the Qashqai is named after desert-dwelling nomadic tribe, but unlike the Saharan Touaregs, the Qashqais hail from South Western Iran. What you may not know is that the new Qashqai n-tec comes with the full Nissan Connect infotainment system and, in this case, a new 1.5dCi engine.

With a frugal 1,465cc 4cyl diesel engine producing a modest 106 horsepower this 1.5dCi doesn’t deliver neck-snapping thrust away from the lights. The quoted 0-62 time is 12.2secs (with 108mph top speed) but even in normal day-to-day driving this 6-speed manual model needs plenty of revs for a smartish getaway, especially on any kind of uphill incline. At higher speeds the 240Nm (177lb/ft) of torque will allow this cruise control-equipped Qashqai to comfortably maintain a respectable cruising speed on the motorway without running out of puff, even when laden with passengers and luggage piled to the roof.
