Nissan Qashqai

The car that invented the modern crossover — Sunderland-built, three generations and counting, and consistently the UK's best-selling crossover. J10 (2007-2013) was the original, J11 (2013-2021) refined the formula and sold by the bucketload, J12 (2021-Present) added e-Power hybrid (a petrol generator with a fully electric drive) alongside the 1.3 mild-hybrid petrol. +2 7-seat variant existed on J10 and J11 only — the J12 dropped it because Nissan moved 7-seaters to the X-Trail. Diesel options vanished after 2018 across the range, killed by Dieselgate fallout.
