Nissan Qashqai
The Nissan Qashqai is a sub-compact SUV that comes standard with front-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is available. Base models feature a six-speed manual transmission in order to lower the price, while SV, SL and SL Platinum rely on a continuously variable transmission. The only engine offered in the Qashqai is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder rated at 141 horsepower. Thanks to Nissan’s Around View Monitor, you can watch for obstacles on the centre display.
