About the Qashqai

The Qashqai invented a segment. Everything in the compact crossover market today exists because Nissan built this car in 2006. Before the Qashqai, the gap between hatchbacks and SUVs was filled with nothing. Nissan saw a market that didn't exist yet, built a car-based crossover with a raised ride height and SUV styling, priced it between the two segments, and watched it become one of Europe's best-selling vehicles overnight. The first generation sold over two million units. The second generation refined the formula with better materials and a more premium feel. The third generation added e-POWER hybrid technology and ProPILOT semi-autonomous driving — features that turned a mainstream crossover into a technology showcase. In North America, it's sold as the Rogue Sport. In Japan, it's the Dualis. The name changes but the concept stays the same: the car that sits exactly where most people's needs actually are. On Revnut, the Qashqai ranks as the car that started an industry trend worth trillions.
