The Nissan Qashqai SUV range has received a minor update for 2022, consisting of equipment additions, slight exterior changes and pricing revisions.
Externally, the Qashqai gets an entirely different shde of grey for the bumpers and Nissan’s new logo. And that’s about it.
Inside, the manufacturer says that there are several new enhancements to its ‘Nissan Connect Services’ that can be accessed through the Qashqai’s infotainment, including a digital owners manual, and voice control with an Amazon Alexa personal assistant.
The first of these updated models are now arrivingin dealerships, and although the brand says that it has increased its deposit contribution to £1,000 for those who buy using Nissan Finance, there has been a price increase across the range.

Built in Nissan’s Sunderland factory in the UK, the Qashqai is proving to be one of Britain’s most popular SUV options as 2022 progresses. With a current Expert Rating of 73%, the Nissan Qashqai has been commended by UK reviewers for its extensive user-friendly tech and impressive safety kit, though some journalists conclude that the SUV has an irritating manual gearbox.
