We take a look at the current average pricing available on the Nissan Qashqai to see which models win and which lose.
The Nissan Quashqai has been a mainstay for the Japanese brand locally. First released in South Africa in 2014, the mid-size SUV is now in its second generation with the third set to arrive imminently.
Despite their global model and management issues, Nissan has still done surprisingly well on our shores with many of these Qashqai models still in circulation. We have taken a look at the model lineup since 2016, what they sold for and what types of prices they currently command to see which of the model derivatives have held onto their value the best.

Depreciation
There are a number of factors that will influence pricing such as mileage, age, and condition but as both model generations indicate the biggest depreciators appear to be the entry spec models with no bells and whistles with the higher-end models retaining their value better.
