2016 Nissan Qashqai

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai Ti is the luxury flagship of one of New Zealand''s most popular compact SUVs, offering a high-end European feel with Japanese reliability. Powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 106kW and 200Nm of torque, it utilizes a smooth Xtronic transmission that provides a refined and efficient driving experience. Unlike the base ST or mid-spec ST-L, the Ti is easily identified by its larger 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and full LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, giving it a much more premium presence on the road than the equivalent Toyota RAV4 or Mitsubishi ASX from the same year..
The interior of the Ti is where it truly shines, featuring full leather-accented upholstery and a massive panoramic glass roof that makes the cabin feel incredibly open and airy. As the top-spec model, it comes standard with heated front seats, a 6-way power-adjustable driver''s seat, and dual-zone climate control. While many competitors of this era were still using basic audio units, the Qashqai Ti features a 7-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and Nissan''s innovative Around View Monitor, which uses four cameras to provide a 360-degree bird''s-eye view for effortless parking in tight Kiwi spots. It also retains the clever "Divide-N-Hide" cargo system in the boot, offering class-leading storage flexibility..
Safety is a standout feature for the Ti grade with the Nissan Safety Shield suite. This includes Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Moving Object Detection-features that are still highly relevant today. It also features Intelligent Park Assist, which can help steer the vehicle into parallel or bay parking spaces. As an NZ-New vehicle, this 2016 Qashqai Ti offers a complete luxury package with proven durability, making it an excellent choice for those who want a high-seating position and premium features without the size or fuel costs of a larger SUV.
