Attractive Pricing Fuels Qashqai Excitement

Excitement levels are building in the East Midlands after Nissan revealed prices for the much-anticipated new Nissan Qashqai. The stunning British designed and built model, which has already received rave reviews in the motoring media, is set to arrive at our Derby Road, Loughborough and Portland Road, Hucknall showrooms this January. And, we expect already sky-high interest in the new model to soar after Nissan confirmed the new model would be priced from just £17,595. Ben Hodkinson, Nissan Brand Manager at Sandicliffe Loughborough, said: "The original Qashqai invented the crossover sector and its successor will completely redefine it. The new Qashqai will set new standards for technology, comfort and practicality, has a premium quality feel and boasts some of the most advanced features on the market. "So for the price to be set at such an affordable level, where it remains accessible to buyers considering a conventional hatchback or crossover, is incredible." Available in four now familiar Nissan trim levels - Visia, Acenta, Acenta Premium and Tekna - there will be a model in the new Qashqai line-up to suit every taste and budget. Even the entry level Visia models - priced from £17,595 RRP - are surprisingly well equipped, featuring automatic air conditioning, Hill Start Assist, a five-inch colour HD infotainment screen, Chassis Control and Speed Limiter/Cruise Control all fitted as standard. Acenta models continue the generous theme with a further list of premium features fitted as standard. Priced from £19,145, these include dual-zone automatic air conditioning, premium leather steering wheel and gear knob, 17-inch alloy wheels and a Luggage Board System. Safety equipment includes front fog lamps, auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers. Acenta Premium models start from £20,995 and feature a raft of comfort and safety technologies. These include new-generation NissanConnect infotainment system with DAB radio. A rear view camera is also fitted as standard, along with i-key Start Push Button, parking sensors and a panoramic glass roof. Safety features include Front Collision Avoidance, High Beam Assist and Lane Departure Warning. Range-topping Tekna models - which start from £23,145 - feature an array of new-to-sector technologies that further highlight Nissan\'s lead in the crossover market. For safety, Tekna models benefit from Bi-LED headlamps, Safety Shield with Traffic Signal Recognition and High Beam Assist. Tekna models also excel when it comes to design and technology features. All models are equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, part-leather seats, a large glass roof, heated seats, front and rear parking sensors and an \'intelligent key\' with engine start button. The latest-generation NissanConnect system is also standard, including a seven-inch touchscreen display, DAB digital radio, Around View Monitor and smartphone connectivity. Alan Richardson from Sandicliffe Hucknall, one of the East Midlands\' most trusted new car experts, added: "Under the bonnet meanwhile, a range of supremely efficient and refined petrol and diesel engines allows the new Qashqai to exceed your expectations no matter which powertrain is chosen. Emissions are as low as 99g/km and the new Qashqai boasts an EU combined fuel consumption figure of up to 74.3mpg."
