New Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta Grade Takes a Bow

The Qashqai is one of Nissan's most popular models ever - in fact, back in October 2015 it became the fastest ever UK-built vehicle to smash the half million production mark, having achieved it in a mere 21 months with a new Qashqai having been built every 62 seconds on the Sunderland factory Line 1.

It is also one of the most popular cars available to lease from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts. Take a look here at what some of our customers think of it too!

Now Nissan have announced some changes to their model line-up in an attempt to further enhance the Qashqai range within the cross-over segment by closing the Acenta Premium model and introducing the Qashqai N-Connecta grade as a direct replacement for the existing n-tec and n-tec+ model versions.

Nissan hope that this new N-Connecta grade and the simplification of available trims will make it easier for customers to navigate the available Qashqai models available.

The new N-Connecta range upgrades the standard specifications and offers a range of new option packs to enhance the driving experience.

The Qashqai N-Connecta

The new Qashqai N-Connecta has everything that the old N-Tec and N-Tec+ had - including all powertrain options such as the 1.2 litre turbo model and the powerful 161HP 1.6-litre turbo petrol option (available in high spec N-Connecta and Tekna trims only) but also gets some further upgrades.

But let's look at what we get as standard from the start:

• Cruise Control

• Power Steering
• Steering adjustment reach and rake
• Panoramic Sunroof

When it comes to safety and security, the Qashqai safety record is maintained with:
