When you are looking for a small family car, there are many things to consider – reliability, comfort and space are all very important – but one of the first things you will think about is safety. One carmaker with a reputation of building safe, reliable cars bursting with character is Nissan, and one of their most popular models, the Qashqai, has been voted the safest small family car by NCAP. In 2007, the Nissan Qashqai became the first car ever to score a maximum 37 from 37 points for adult occupant protection. The Qashqai also scored four out of five stars for child protection, and two out of four for pedestrian protection – both of which stack up well against its competitors. It was noted that safety features such as double seatbelt pretensioners ensured that the driver’s forward movement was very limited, keeping the knees and thighs well away from the dashboard.
So, the Nissan Qashqai is tough, agile & sophisticated – just what you need when you want a small family car. Efficient, powerful engines deliver smooth performance and plenty of power in every gear. And the great thing is that it’s at home both dodging the city traffic or exploring the open road – perfect for the daily school run & family days out.
