Tshidi drives the Nissan Qashqai
Most Japanese cars are known for having fewer features, but they have far better reliability than any other. When you buy a car, you want to drive and enjoy it. You want comfort and pleasure at their best. As an example of how Japanese cars have become more advanced, the all-new Nissan Qashqai has many features, such as parking assistance, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, etc.
Personally, I think the Japanese did an outstanding job with the Qashqai, which has stood the test of time for years, and the top-of-the-line Acenta Plus has everything you need. Their cars feature features that make sense, and when they have nailed the technology, they make sure it will last for years to come. What's the point of having a car with 20 features if they don't even last a few years?
The all-new Nissan Qashqai comes in three different versions: the Visia, Acenta, and Acenta Plus. What sets this third generation apart is that it is a bit larger than the previous generation, with its V grille, boomerang headlamps, day-lit running lights, and 19-inch alloy wheels. It’s beautiful. I love the two-tone black and grey metallic paint. It is iconic, elegant, and an instant head-turner. It isn't easy to miss.
Great interior materials. I liked the glow-in-the-dark line on the centre console. The 12.3-inch infotainment system included CarPlay, Android Auto, USB, Bluetooth connectivity, and wireless charging. The Bose sound system had 10 speakers, and I could bang my favourite beats. There is a lot of room in the car, full leather heated seats, massage, and memory functions for the driver. The driver's seat is one of the most comfortable seats I've ever experienced.
A multi-function steering wheel, shifting paddles, and a touch button exist. It is powered by a 1.3-litre engine producing 110 KW and 250 Nm of torque, connected to a CVT gearbox to deliver power smoothly to the front wheels. In the city and on the highway, the drive quality was perfect, and it never seemed out of place, though there's a considerable amount of wind noise when you don't have the sound system on, which isn't a deal breaker and is acceptable. The 19-inch alloy makes the ride smoother and more comfortable.
Consumption: In town, I averaged 5.5 L/100 km, but on the highway, I averaged the reported 6.1 L/100 km. The results truly depend on your driving style and how it compares to its competitors. There are numerous safety features, such as automated emergency braking, which may monitor your surroundings and detect other vehicles and pedestrians, and applying the brakes if necessary to help avoid or decrease the severity of a crash. 360-degree cameras, intelligent blinds, spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot warning, and radar-guided cruise control At a starting price of R568 200 up to R670 700 (the tested unit), the Qashqai Acenta Plus is expensive, but it is well-equipped. It is adaptable, comfy, and safe, and it may be used on a daily basis. If you're looking for a family SUV, look no further than the Nissan Qashqai.
