Ahead of the 2022 WhatCarAwards, we're looking back at some of our previous champions. And today, it's the second-gen Nissan Qashqai under the spotlight
Back to the Honister Pass, then, and my Qashqai is pulling well, even loaded with three adults, several suitcases, one very excitable dog and an industrial amount of wine. The Qashqai’s 1.5-litre diesel engine is so well suited to big trips, and especially to the steep inclines that you regularly find in the Lake District.
And up there, on the Honister Pass, it was nothing short of magical to drive. My mates loved the Qashqai, too, for its comfortable seats, quiet driving manners and plethora of storage options. Indeed, I was still finding well-stowed sweet papers days after we got back from our week-long trip. Late on in the testing process, when the engineers discovered that a bottle of popular Japanese green tea wouldn’t fit in the car’s cup holders without being slightly squeezed, the entire assembly was redesigned at a cost of more than £43,000. All of that ensured that on those occasions when your tea-drinking-come-bear-baiting karaoke session got a little out of hand, nothing would be amiss in the Qashqai’s world.
