With a bigger engine and six-speed automatic transmission, the Qashqai Tekna All-Mode 4x4 scored more highly than the front-wheel-drive model in the previous class. I found no problems with performance and stability was never in quesion even at 70-mph-plus.
Brakes, and notably the handbrake, were excellent and the car made short shrift of our demanding hill route. Unfortunately for Nissan, this Qashqai was up against some very stiff opposition. Good access to towing gear means easy hitching/unhitching.
