Hot car deal: facelifted Nissan Qashqai for £228 a month

It’s fair to say that Nissan knows what it’s doing when it comes to family cars; take one look at any school or supermarket car park and you’re bound to spot a Qashqai. UK buyers love the Japanese manufacturer’s mid-size SUV, with its impressive practicality and value-for-money resulting in some mighty sales figures. If you’re in the market for a new family car, then the Qashqai should be near the top of your shortlist, and we think this deal could be the best way to put the very latest model on your driveway.

What’s so good about this Nissan Qashqai deal? 

This Nissan Qashqai deal is offered by Rivervale Leasing, and runs for two years with monthly instalments of £227.53. There’s an initial payment of £2,730.36, too, but this can be reduced if you’d rather pay slightly more each month. Don’t forget to factor in the £238.30 processing fee as well as the 5,000-mile annual limit, although the latter can be increased by upping the initial and monthly payments.

Importantly, this deal is for the newly-facelifted Qashqai, which only became available in the UK a matter of days ago. In addition to tweaked exterior styling, you get a 12.3-inch infotainment screen running new Google-based software, more standard kit and thicker side windows to reduce cabin noise. Even better, this deal nets you the N-Connecta model, which packs a 3D surround-view parking camera, a digital driver’s display, wireless smartphone charging and a glass roof on top of the base model’s kit list.

This Qashqai’s 1.5-litre e-Power engine is the icing on the cake for this deal. It’s the top-spec powertrain that Nissan fits to the Qashqai, using a 187bhp electric motor to drive the front wheels, while the petrol engine acts as a generator. It’s an efficient system, if not a sporty one, delivering smooth acceleration typical of an electric car and fuel economy of up to 54mpg.

What’s so good about the Nissan Qashqai?

Take a look at our list of the UK’s best-selling cars, and you’re guaranteed to find the Qashqai on there somewhere. A hit with families since its debut in 2006, the original model struck a well-executed balance of practicality, efficiency and affordability, while the latest generation is the best yet, with more cabin and safety technology and a respectable boot. Throw in the facelifted model’s eye-catching styling, and you’re onto a family car winner.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
