2025 Nissan Qashqai Ti Review

While there’s more than a few striking design changes on offer, the 2025 Nissan Qashqai looks to be far more than a simple makeover.

Instead, the MY25 Qashqai hits the road with some key equipment upgrades across the range and some clever technology improvements to bolster its position as one of Nissan’s best-sellers.

While the 2025 Qashqai range debuts with a suite of new connected services, added tech inside and Nissan’s game-changing ten-year warranty program, mechanically-speaking, it’s unchanged from last year’s model.

With some seriously attractive introductory price offers available for keen buyers, let’s take a closer look at how the Nissan Qashqai stacks up as a capable little SUV package and holds up against its fierce rivals in the segment.

We got behind the wheel of Nissan’s more premium take on the Qashqai, the Ti grade, to find out if it’s worth stretching the budget a little or if you’re better suited to a lower grade.

Nissan Qashqai Ti Specifications

What Features & Specs Does the 2025 Nissan Qashqai Ti Have?

The Nissan Qashqai Ti sits at the pointy end of the lineup without going all the way to the range-topping Ti-L or N-Design.

The list of new features added to the MY25 Qashqai Ti include a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a blend of PVC and leather upholstery, a frameless auto-dimming rear-view mirror and adjustable ambient interior lighting.

These come in addition to a set of 19-inch alloys, adaptive LED headlights, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, roof rails, a surround-view monitor with front & rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charging pad and a suite of active safety tech.

Qashqai Ti buyers have the option of a black roof that adds a two-tone finish to the bodywork.

Nissan Qashqai Connectivity & Infotainment Features

One of Nissan’s key upgrades for the MY25 Qashqai range is the inclusion of a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system across the board, even for the entry-level ST.

This is a particularly nice upgrade over the previous 8.0-inch screen fitted to outgoing base models.

Aside from the added screen real estate, there’s nothing game-changing about Nissan’s 12.3-inch display, though it covers the important boxes of responsiveness, with reasonably crisp graphics and brightness levels.

Ti grades were already fitted with the 12.3-inch infotainment system, meaning the most meaningful tech upgrades are headed for its more affordable siblings.

Nissan’s menu layout is simple, if not a little underwhelming, though it’s an easy process to navigate with the added bonus of some shortcuts on the home page.

There’s AM/FM and DAB+ digital radio on offer alongside satellite navigation and a six-speaker sound system, the latter of which is a little lackluster for a premium trim level, with Nissan saving its ten-speaker BOSE sound system for the higher-ranking Ti-L.

Another key addition for the MY25 Qashqai range is the addition of Nissan’s Connected Car Services suite, with buyers picking up a three-year subscription from the date of purchase.

Nissan’s Connected Car Services offers remote vehicle tracking, vehicle controls for the locks and climate control settings, service information and voice controls.

Does the Nissan Qashqai Have Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto?

Buyers will be pleased to know that the MY25 Qashqai lineup now features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity across the full model range.

This comes as a welcome upgrade from the previous wired Apple CarPlay & Android Auto packaged into the outgoing ST grade, while the previous ST-L made do with wireless Apple CarPlay but required a wired connection for Android Auto users.

Nissan’s changes in this regard make the 2025 Qashqai range the most desireable for buyers that have wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay on their list of non-negotiables.

Is the Nissan Qashqai Ti Comfortable to Drive?

While there’s no mechanical changes underneath the latest Qashqai, it was already a pretty strong performer on the road for the small SUV segment.

This means that power still comes supplied by a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol unit that produces 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque and sends power to the front wheels via a CVT automatic.

The Qashqai’s little four-pot has a nice spring in its step thanks to the turbocharger, offering decent acceleration that is perfect for keeping up with things in the urban jungle.

There can be a bit of lag from the turbocharger when taking off from the line, though when it kicks into life, few will be needing more power for everyday driving.

The Qashqai’s CVT automatic is well-calibrated and doesn’t spoil the party in terms of driving enjoyment, behaving very much like a conventional transmission with added the ability to manually change ratios via the wheel-mounted paddles.

Around town, the Qashqai proves itself as a great little SUV thanks to its simplicity and a serious dose of refinement on top.

It’s got all the hallmarks of a user-friendly package around town, with responsive handling, solid visibility and reasonably compact proportions that make it incredibly easy to park and dart through traffic.

The Qashqai’s agile handling is the result of a slightly firmer suspension package that mitigates body roll in the corners and keeps things nice and stable, though this has come at some expense of the ride on country roads.

You can’t really fault Nissan’s choice to stick with a more urban-friendly package, though because, in reality, that’s where it’s been designed to thrive.

If you’re living in the country or planning some trips, we’d be downsizing the alloys to 18-inches in the ST-L for a slightly improved ride.

That said, refinement on smoother sections of road and while driving on the highway are top-notch.

Nissan has obviously paid attention to NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) levels because when you’re bumbling down the highway, you really could fool yourself into thinking you’re driving the hybrid… up until the point of mashing the throttle.

The cabin is well-insulated from the outside world, with no complaints for tyre roar, either, making for a lovely little package to tackle some long highway kilometres.

All up, Nissan has done a great job with the Qashqai’s on-road manners, creating a zippy, user-friendly and truly refined small SUV package that makes light work of the urban jungle.

Is the Nissan Qashqai Fuel Efficient?

Fuel economy figures in the latest Qashqai are pretty solid, though not ground-breaking for the segment.

While the fuel-efficiency in the range-topping e-Power Hybrid lineup is not up for debate, things aren’t quite as impressive with the petrol engine - though it’s far from a problem drinker.

On a combined cycle, the Qashqai Ti is rated at 5.8L per 100km, slightly less than the official 6.1L/100km figures you’ll get in the Qashqai ST or ST-L.

In our time behind the wheel, we averaged 7.2L per 100km on a mix of town, country and highway driving, struggling to match Nissan’s official figures.

Obviously the e-Power Hybrid is the fuel efficiency hero of the bunch, though it demands a pretty steep premium over non-hybrid versions in order to access its 4.8L/100km fuel economy figures.

With respectable fuel economy figures in the petrol-powered Qashqai lineup, we believe that fuel-efficiency alone isn’t a sole reason to upgrade from the Ti to the Ti-L e-Power.

The Qashqai’s 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder is also happy to drink 91 RON unleaded fuel, though Nissan advises 95 RON is preferred.

• Qashqai Ti City Fuel Economy: 7.3L/100km

• Qashqai Ti Highway Fuel Economy: 5.1L/100km

• Qashqai Ti Combined Cycle Fuel Economy: 5.8L/100km (claimed)

• Qashqai Ti Combined Cycle Fuel Economy: 7.2L/100km (tested)

Is the Nissan Qashqai Practical and Spacious?

The Nissan Qashqai holds its own when it comes to impressive levels of interior space and practicality in the small SUV segment.

While no shortage of its rivals compromise in one way or another, the Qashqai offers up solid real estate inside the cabin that make it a viable option for small families.

Climb aboard and you’re greeted with a nice, premium thunk while closing the door, while the attention to detail and solid fit and finish for the interior trim continues throughout.

There’s lovely soft-touch materials for your elbows and left leg, with a solid feel from the switchgear and a lovely steering wheel with both reach and rake adjustment.

That means it’s a pretty nice place for even the tallest of adults to sit inside, with no issues for headroom thanks to the electric seat adjustment that allows long torsos to sink deeper into the cabin.

Forward and side visibility are both healthy, though the limited rear three-quarter visibility leaves a lot to be desired.

Upgrading to the Nissan Qashqai Ti grade is a worthwhile option for those looking for some premium touches without poking rivals sleeping in a brand-new price bracket.

The mix of PVC and leather upholstery is a particularly nice touch while the ambient lighting has no shortage of colour options and looks great weaving its way through the cabin at night.

In terms of storage, the Qashqai has the fundamentals covered but doesn’t lead the segment.

There’s a fair bit of empty space surrounding the gear lever, though the rubber-lined wireless charging pad doubles as a nifty little storage area when you’re in need.

You’ll also find the usuals like a pair of cupholders, storage inside the folding armrest and decent-sized bottle holders in the door sills.

Move to the rear and second row accommodation in the Qashqai is strong.

Adults can sit in the rear without major issues with legroom, though headroom is a little tight for anyone tall seated in the rear on a long trip.

Sacrificing a little driver’s seat legroom means you can get a tall adult in the rear, though the Qashqai remains one of the most practical in the segment.

As for amenities, the Qashqai’s second row picks up a pair of USB-C ports, map pockets, a folding armrest with cupholders, bottle holders inside the doors and both ISOFIX anchors and top tether mounts on the seatbacks.

Parents will be particularly happy with just how wide the Qashqai’s doors open - pretty much bang-on 90 degrees for easy access into the rear while installing a child seat.

All up, Nissan has done a great job maximising interior practicality with the Qashqai which remains one of the leaders in the small SUV segment when it comes to outright accommodation.

How Big is the Nissan Qashqai’s Boot?

Boot space is often one of the more underwhelming aspects of a compact SUV package, but not in the case of the Nissan Qashqai.

With a boot measuring 479L, the Qashqai Ti offers healthy boot space figures for the segment that once again speak to Nissan’s no-compromises approach to its small SUV hero.

Fold down the rear seats and you’ll unlock a total of 1,422L when it’s time to lug around bulky cargo or sports gear, though there is a noticeable bulkhead behind the second row seats.

Underneath the Qashqai’s boot, there’s a space-saver spare tyre which is a big upgrade from repair kits that frequent the segment, with four tie-down hooks on the floor and another pair hanging from either side of the boot walls.

• Qashqai Ti Boot Space Minimum: 479L

• Qashqai Ti Boot Space Maximum: 1,422L

For reference, the entry-level Qashqai ST and ST-L has the largest boots in the range, measuring 504L in a five-seat format and expanding to 1,447L with the rear bench folded.

Buyers upgrading to the e-Power range can expect to see boot volumes drop to 452L in the Ti-L e-Power and down once again to 404L in the flagship Qashqai N-Design e-Power.

Is it Safe?

Nissan is happy to bundle in a long list of active safety equipment in all members of the Qashqai range, with Ti buyers picking up some added goodies.

As standard, the Nissan Qashqai comes packaged with forward and reverse autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, lane-keep assist, lane-departure alerts, a rear-view camera with rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring and traffic sign detection.

Atop this, the Qashqai ST-L picks up a surround-view monitor with front-mounted parking sensors, while the Qashqai Ti receives Nissan’s ProPILOT system that combines the adaptive cruise control with lane centring.

The only thing missing in the Qashqai Ti are the side-mounted parking sensors and Nissan’s semi-autonomous parking assistance system that are both reserved for Ti-L variants.

Does the Nissan Qashqai Have an ANCAP Safety Rating?

The updated Nissan Qashqai carries over the existing five-star ANCAP safety rating it scored in 2021 after posting the following results.

• Adult Occupant Protection: 91%

• Child Occupant Protection: 93%

• Vulnerable Road User Protection: 74%

• Safety Assist: 97%

What Warranty does the Nissan Qashqai Come With?

Arguably the most important aspect for potential Qashqai buyers is the company’s recent expansion of its warranty coverage that now extends to ten years or 300,000km.

This blows the previous five-year warranty program out of the water, especially when you consider there’s ten years’ worth of roadside assist bundled in atop the warranty, so long as you keep the Qashqai serviced within Nissan’s network.

If you service your Qashqai outside of the Nissan network, your coverage will drop back to the previous five-year/unlimited-kilometre program.

Buyers also pick up five years’ worth of capped-price servicing which totals $1,995 over the course of five years, with intervals standing at 12-months or 15,000-kilometres.

Our Verdict: Is the Nissan Qashqai Ti Worth it?

Nissan’s updated Qashqai range is a well-credentialed little SUV package that confidently ticks more boxes and comes packed with more kit than ever before.

After all, who can complain about a lengthier equipment list without a price hike to match?

Within the wider Qashqai range, the Qashqai Ti sits as an attractive, well-equipped and more premium take without going overboard with the Ti-L and remains one of the best in the bunch.

That said, there’s some key equipment upgrades for the entry-level Qashqai ST, making the base model more attractive than ever before.

All up, the MY25 Qashqai range stacks up as a strong contender in the wide world of compact SUVs and certainly deserves a spot on your shortlist.
