Nissan Qashqai
Nissan’s Qashqai is the quiet achiever in a segment full of big personalities—think Mazda CX-5, VW Tiguan, Toyota C-HR. Urban types love its just-right size and that SUV-height driving position, but you won’t be fighting for parking space at Cresta. Petrol engines range from a 1.2T up to the 1.3T, and there’s that trusty 1.5 dCi diesel if you’re chasing lower fuel bills. You’ll find manual, CVT, and semi-auto boxes in the mix. Here’s the catch: no new Qashqais on showroom floors, so you’re buying used—prices stretching from R142,500 to R354,840, with a median of R209,500. That’s a gulf that tells you Qashqai buyers hang onto them, too, with models from 2011 to 2023 and average mileage just above 107,000 km. Most buyers land on the 1.2T Acenta CVT, which is thick on the ground between R170,000 and R270,000. Diesel fans will have to hunt—1.5 dCi Acenta Plus models are scarce but command R290,000 to R345,000, which makes sense for those clocking up big distances. There’s a single 1.3T Acenta Xtronic at R354,840, and that’s as fancy as it gets. On paper at least, the Qashqai’s big win is its cabin space—rear headroom that feels almost generous for the segment—and a road feel that’s more settled than the C-HR, especially on Joburg’s patchwork tar. No, it won’t turn heads. But it’s what the Qashqai should have been from the start, and that matters.
Nissan
Nissan’s place in the South African car scene is a curious one. It’s not chasing the cutthroat budget crowd, but you won’t catch anyone calling it premium either. What Nissan does well is offer options for the buyers everyone else seems to forget — the folks who need a bakkie that won’t complain about Monday jobs in Midrand, or a starter SUV that doesn’t break the bank in Benoni. With 250 used models on the market, from a wallet-friendly R64,500 to a punchy R769,900 and a median at R219,500, you’re looking at a brand that actually covers the real-world spectrum of SA motoring. Not a single new car in sight, though. It’s a symptom of Nissan’s current silence on the new-model front — so punters are trading what’s already out there, and who can blame them? The NP200 is the crowd-pleaser here, with 58 examples running between R84,900 and R264,900. It’s what the NP200 should have been from the start — a no-nonsense, recognizable workhorse you can spot outside any Joburg tile shop. The Navara, stretching to R769,900, wants to play in the same sandpit as Ranger and Hilux, but it needs to offer more than just a different badge if it hopes to convince anyone. Magnite starts at R188,500, so if you pack smart, you’re in a compact SUV for less than many rivals ask for a hatch. Qashqai and X-Trail mop up the upper end, but SUVs are the clear favourite here, with petrol still king. Nissan’s real win is the sheer mix across price points — and for South Africans hunting honest value, that matters.
