Nissan Qashqai Celebrates 10 years of Crossover Leadership

Nissan is the first brand to achieve this notifiable milestone within the automotive world simply because of one reason. The Nissan Qashqai is a model to be seen to have pioneered the crossover segment to develop itself into the car consumers, know and love today. Looking back over a decade ago, there was no car which combined the practicality with the desirability of an SUV whilst also incorporating the size, efficiency and dynamic performance of a hatchback.

The innovative design introduced a new aspect of car buying for customers, a car which buyers were looking for. The first generation of Qashqai's went on sale in 2007 and it is safe to say they were a great success. With close to 100,000 cars sold across Europe before the end of year. 10 years on and more than 2.3 million cars have been produced and sold in and around Europe making the Qashqai the region's best-selling crossover.

Want a award winning car? Look no further, the Nissan Qashqai has won over 80 awards, 19 of which recognising the car as "Car of the Year." In the UK 2016 was a big year for Nissan Qashqai as not only did it remain best-selling medium sized (C segment) SUV but once again took home the award for the UK's 5th best-selling car overall.

In the decade since the Qashqai was launched C segment crossover sales in Europe have gone from zero to 2.6 units in 2016 alone. Although Nissan now have 21 direct competitors the inventor of the segment still remains the number one model.

Within 2016, Nissan sold 261,429 Qashqai's in Europe- have you got yours yet?

Success with the Nissan Brand and the award winning model have spread beyond Europe, Nissan Qashqai now stan at 3.3 million units across 137 countries worldwide.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.
