New Nissan Qashqai vs Europe: Autocar's 5000-mile road trip

We travel from Sunderland to Istanbul and back again in a brand new Nissan Qashqai. Autocar covers 5000 miles and 21 countries in 13 days to see just how good the follow up to Nissan's best-seller really is.

The longest test to date of the all-new Nissan Qashqai takes Autocar from the car's birthplace in Sunderland, England to Istanbul and back again. Why Istanbul? Because it bridges Europe and Asia and to the east lies the heart of the Nissan brand, while Europe is a key market for the Qashqai. Richard Bremner, Mark Tisshaw and Matt Burt make the journey.
