The Qashqai Isn't the Problem — These 5 SUVs Just Cost Less to Fix
The Qashqai is a good car with three expensive parts. That's a completely
different problem to the one people think it has.
I'm Nigel. 57, and 35-odd years under cars in Yorkshire. I'm not here to knock
the Qashqai — I'm here to show you five family SUVs that do the same job in
Britain and cost a fraction to put right when something lets go: the Lexus
NX 300h, the Dacia Duster, the Suzuki Vitara, the Honda CR-V Mk4 and the
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
What's in it:
— The CVT, the timing chain, and the bill nobody warns you about
— Why a naturally aspirated engine is cheaper to own than a small turbo
— Which of the five I'd put my own money on
— The diesel versions to walk away from, and the ones that still make sense
I don't sell cars and no manufacturer pays me a penny. Prices are UK forecourt
money at the time of filming. MOT histories come from the government's own
free checker.
⚠️ Prices, tax bands and emissions rules move. This is the UK market at the time
of filming and it's general information, not advice on any individual car. Get
current information and independent advice before you buy. Some footage is used
under fair dealing for review and criticism; trademarks belong to their owners.
