Nissan’s Qashqai Facelift Will Hit Local Showrooms In Mid April

Nissan has updated their Qashqai for the 2010 year with a slight facelift. The Crossover from Nissan will arrive in South Africa later this month where it will be in two forms, a five-seater and a 7-seater called the Qashqai+2.

There will be a new front which boasts a new bonnet, front bumper, distinct grille and headlamps. 12-LED tail lights and a dark chrome bezel will finish off the look from behind. An aerodynamic spoiler will be added, as well as LED daytime running lights.

The inside will boast a new redesigned drive computer which shows instant data for time, cruise control and speed limiter settings, mileage and fuel consumption. There will be more storage space as well.

Engines will include 1.6- and 2.0-litre petrol and diesel units. These will send power to a set of 18-inch alloy wheels.
