Nissan Qashqai 2010 – First photos UPDATE: Models and Prices
Nissan has now released photos of the 2010 Qashqai facelift with a new nose, LED lights and improved interior.
Updated at the bottom with full Price and model detail for 2010.
Last month we revealed that the 2010 facelift for the Nissan Qashqai was actually running ahead of the original plan, and instead of a Summer launch as we first thought, Nissan now plans to have the 2010 Qashqai on the roads in March.
We reckoned that Nissan would release first details on the facelifted Qashqai early this month, so we’re pleased to see that we were bang on the money with the first pictures of the 2010 Qashqai dropping in to our inbox this morning.
Most noticeable of the changes – as you would expect from the camouflaged shots we saw earlier – is to the Qashqai’s nose. The whole front end gets a cosmetic workover for a much more aggressive visage. The back end gets LED lights and there are some new 17″ Alloys plus a couple of new colour options. The suspension has also had a tweak to improve handling.
Nissan are obviously going to drag the changes to the Qashqai out over a few days/weeks, as we don’t have pictures of the interior yet (apart from the instrument panel). However, we know that the Qashqai will have upgraded trim and a new instrument panel with an LCD screen. Nissan have also been working on making the Qashqai’s cabin a quieter place to be.
Engine options are to remain unchanged, although there will be an ECO Qashqai – powered by the 1.5 litre Turbo diesel – which will get the usual Eco-tweaks such as low rolling resistance tyres, lower suspension, longer gearing, irritating gear-change light etc.
As we said before, the 2010 Qashqai will hit the roads in March. And we’ll no doubt have another update soon when Nissan decides to let us have pictures of the interior.
Full details in the 2010 Nissan Qashqai Press Release.

Do you know what this will do to the used market price on the current shape? Was just about to purchase an 09 visia, but now not so sure?

Any new model will affect values on the old model. But the old model is, and we believe will remain, in demand. Just use the ‘New Model’ issue to get a better price for your new Qashqai. Or perhaps ask for comparisons on a PCP / Contract Hire deal on a new one? You may be surprised how little difference there is. We’ve seen Contract Hire deals on a new Visio from around £200pm.

just ordered a new n-tec, what a difference to the old model. fuel and temp gauge are part of the speedo and rev counter dial. New seat trims, alloy pedals, it actually feels higher up. Have a 2007 Acenta, so looking forward to my new arrival in April.

The UK website for Nissan is easy – Nissan UK Website – but we don’t think there’s an online translator for English to Farsi. However, you can try pasting the web site address in to Google Translate and get it in to another language you’re more familiar with – perhaps Arabic?
