Nissan Qashqai Acenta Review: More than just extra seats - Performance

Reviewed by Shawn Jooste

Performance

Packing a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine in the front, you’ll get 102kW to lug the Qashqai Acenta about, which is just about enough. Anything less and the size of the car would get the better of the Qashqai +2. There is a 1.6-litre variant available, the Qashqai Visia which gives 81kW, but the sensible option is the 2.0-litre.

Coupled to a manual gearbox the performance isn’t half bad. The gear changes a quick, and the ‘box feels solid. Gears neatly move in and out of the gate making it quite easy to drive. The clutch is soft and assists with the already good gear changes.
