THE new Nissan Qashqai has added to its impressive haul of industry accolades after being named Best Family Car 2014 by online tech review site Recombu.com.
The judging panel highlighted the Qashqai’s exterior design, family-focused cabin and high levels of technology – qualities that helped the British-built crossover become one of the most in-demand cars of 2014.
Rory Reid, editor-in-chief of Recombu.com, said: “The original Nissan Qashqai almost single-handedly defined the crossover market, and although wannabes have tried to cash in on its success, it continues to rule head and shoulders above its rivals.”
The award is the latest in a long line won by the Qashqai since its launch in January. Among the silverware already collected is the 2014 What Car? Car of the Year award, 2014 Auto Express Crossover of the Year and eBay Motors Car of the Year 2014. The Qashqai’s advanced Safety Shield technology also scooped the prestigious Auto Express Safety Award earlier this year.
Commenting on the Qashqai’s latest award, Rachael Gregory, from Nissan Motor GB, said: “We’re delighted to accept this Recombu.com award for the Qashqai. The Qashqai’s exceptionally high equipment levels and advanced technologies have been a key factor in its popularity with buyers, and awards like this reward the hard work that our design and engineering teams put into the car.”
