The Facelifted 2010 Nissan Qashqai
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.

R Halkyard says
could you advise me if the quashqai acenta should have the panoramic sun roof as advertised in the brochure
burt bloggs says
i order the new qashqai in may and was told delivery would be in spetemeber. then the sale’s guy called and told me october the 8th then he called and told the 4th. so i waited until the 7th and called him and asked where the car is “ive got no idea whether it has even been delivered to us i will check call you back in 1/2 hour” 2 1/2 hours later he replies and it has not been delivered to the garage it will be in on the 9th. today is the 14th and i still have not heard anything. i know the are busy at the factory but customer service is terrible.
burt bloggs says

Bahman Qashqai says
Hi!
It sounds very strange to me .I would like to know where did
you find the word QASHQAI .It’s my surname.Qashqai is a
name for a tribe in Iran .The spoken language in this tribe
is Turkish. Thanks From Iran Bahman QASHQAI
CarsUK says
And that’s exactly where Nissan got the name from. Your tribe is now also a Nissan Crossover!
Moholo RJ says
From the 1st time i saw nissan qashqai, i never thought of any better car. I like its features, most of all the external appearance
ahmad says
i need qashqayi factory web can you help to me?
CarsUK says
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?
ahmad says
please i need good information from qashqayi nissan for iranian peaple.can you help to me>
i like translate to iranian language.
thank
ahmad
phil hughes says
I saw one in Bath last week .I liked the mild facelift & interior improvments Good to know it is made here A good effort ! Phil
Chris says
Wouldn’t have one given. the most depressing vehicle I have ever had to suffer.
Eck says
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.
bayo says
i so mush love nissan qashqai,but how can i get it in nigeria.
i am ready to buy.
bayo kazeem.
ibadan oyo state nigerie.
beth says
qashqai very good car it a dream car
hori says
hey so i have a qashqai but the first model is vrey cool :-bd but the new model is not so diferent they modified the lights and the grill from the engine its not a big modification but it looks good i realy LOVE IT it a dream car
CarsUK says
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.
Sophie H says
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?
