È la Tiida, che nel retro ne eredita anche qualcosa

Back in 2002, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) were rising in popularity. Despite this, there were still considerable barriers to SUV ownership for many hatchback and saloon buyers, who were traditionally quite conservative in their car choice. Nissan customer clinics had highlighted that SUVs were considered too large for around-town manoeuvrability and general everyday usability, plus people didn’t like the poor fuel efficiency and lacklustre interior quality.

 

What followed was a period of research, focused primarily on assessing the viability of creating a vehicle that would be a baby brother to the popular X-Trail – something with the desirability, practicality and versatility of an SUV but with the size, driving dynamics and running costs of a family hatchback.

 

For the production model, the selected exterior came from Nissan’s Global Design Centre in Japan, while the interior was penned by Nissan Design America. Given the Qashqai was initially to be a car for European customers only, both elements were then transferred to NDE for further refinement, to make the designs to perfectly fit the needs of European customers.

 

At the 2006 Paris Motor Show, the world’s first urban crossover production car, Nissan Qashqai made its debut. Today the Qashqai is the perfect expression of an innovation born out of necessity that Nissan was producing mainstream saloons and hatchbacks which were not winning the hearts and minds of consumers.

 

Designers: Darryl Scriven, Masaki Aikawa, Patrick Reimer (2003)
