And in case you felt their current range wasn't catering to your individual SUV requirements, here's the brand-new Qashqai. That's Qashqai, pronounced... erm... actually, we've no idea.Nissan reckons it has miraculously discovered another new niche (yes, another one - where do all these niches come from?), between passenger car and 4x4.
The Nissan Qashqai is definitely at the soft-road end of the market - front-wheel drive is standard with four-wheel power an optional extra. Nissan reckons its competition will come from the Golf and Focus, which should give you an idea of where they're pitching.
Launching in the UK in early 2007, the Qashqai will come with a choice of four Renault-sourced engines - two petrol and two turbodiesels. There's no definite word on prices, but expect something upwards of £15,000.
