USED PRICE: From £8,525

Nissan replaced the dull old Almera with a different type of small family car: the Qashqai is a high-riding compact crossover, with SUV-alike styling and the option of part-time four-wheel drive, but all the benefits of a conventional road-going hatchback. Launched to great acclaim in 2007, the Qashqai has been a hit; seven-seater versions (Qashqai+2) joined the line-up a year later, and the range was updated in 2010. Is it worth the hype? The Which? testers give their verdict.

Nissan revised the Qashqai in 2010, and whilst styling changes were minimal, minor revisions were made to improve refinement and ride comfort. New versions joining the range included the economy-biased 1.5 dCi PureDrive diesel. The engines otherwise remain unchanged, with 1.6 and 2.0-litre petrol plus 2.0-litre diesel versions continuing, the larger engines fitted in combination with four-wheel-drive.

Nissan Qashqai+2 (2008-)

New price: £17,041 - £28,200

Nissan Qashqai (2007-)

New price: £15,713 - £27,135
Nissan's Qashqai is a medium car with pseudo SUV styling (indeed, some models are 4WD). But is it a sensible choice for family car buyers?
