First launched in 2007, the Nissan Qashqai took UK roads by storm thanks to its incredible practicality and even better price-point. While it wasn’t the original crossover, the car was definitely the trailblazer in the compact SUV segment. It ran nearly competition-free until the SEAT Ateca, Mazda CX-5 and Peugeot 3008 made entry. With a good view from the bonnet, looks that slay and affordable running costs, the Qashqai fires on all cylinders – no wonder it features among the top in sales charts. In case you were wondering, the name comes from a nomadic central Asian tribe who tread the highland pastures of Shiraz and the warmer winter lands of the Persian Gulf.
