Most 4x4s are bought for fashion and practicality and to scare smaller cars of the road. The Nissan Qashqai 1.6 resembles a 4 x4 SUV but it´s actually a front wheel drive vehicle. It has the looks and feels of a 4 x4 SUV but in reality it isn’t. The higher end Qashqai´s are 4 x4s. The Qashqai 1.6 makes the zero to sixty mph in a respectable 12 seconds and tops out at 109mph. the interior of the Qashqai is quite good as is the ride quality.
It drives more like a family hatchback and not a rough 4 x 4. Four adults can enjoy a comfortable cruise in it and the boot space is also ample which can be increased for with the split folding rear seats. The speed adjust steering gives the correct feedback when cruising or parking. The Qashqai is a tall vehicle so you can expect some body roll on bends. The finance company should have no hesitation in giving you a car loan to buy a Nissan Qashqai as it has become a popular vehicle. Nissan dealers would also be willing to arrange a suitable car loan for you. If you want to join the SUV club the Qashqai 1.6 will be a good way to do so without the extra 4 x 4 trapping.
