2016 NISSAN QASHQAI TS

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai TS is a compact wagon with the elevated driving position and practical proportions that have made this model a familiar choice in urban and suburban driving. Finished in white, it combines a manageable footprint with a useful wagon body, making it easy to place on the road while still offering the versatility associated with a small SUV-style vehicle.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre four-cylinder diesel turbo engine paired with a continuously variable transmission. That combination is suited to relaxed everyday motoring, with the CVT designed to keep the engine operating smoothly rather than relying on conventional stepped gear changes. The automatic stop/start system is also fitted, helping reduce unnecessary idling in traffic.

The TS specification focuses on convenience as well as day-to-day usability. Keyless entry and drive, a start/stop button, remote central locking and power windows simplify regular trips, while the leather-accented steering wheel and gear knob add a more considered touch to the cabin. The driver has a manually adjustable seat and a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, allowing the driving position to be tailored to different occupants.

Inside, the cabin is designed around practical family use. Dual-zone automatic climate control allows the front occupants to select separate temperatures, while front and rear cup holders, bottle holders, a multipurpose centre console box and a cargo-area light support the small details of everyday travel. The rear seat is split-folding, giving the luggage area added flexibility when carrying larger items. Cloth trim, ambient interior lighting and an ambient temperature display complete the straightforward interior layout.

Its equipment list also includes several features that make longer drives and changing conditions easier to manage. Cruise control can reduce the effort of maintaining a steady speed, while rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror improve convenience in wet or low-light conditions. A reversing camera assists with parking and low-speed manoeuvres, complemented by rear privacy glass and a roof-mounted rear spoiler.

Safety equipment includes dual front, side and head airbags, anti-lock braking, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability programming, traction control and hill-holder assistance. Child-proof rear door locks, child-seat anchor points, adjustable headrests and seatbelt reminders for all seats add further practical protection. LED daytime running lights and front fog lights contribute to visibility, while the electric parking brake keeps the centre console area uncluttered.

Seventeen-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured exterior door handles, a chrome front grille, folding power mirrors with integrated indicators and front and rear mud flaps give the Qashqai a well-equipped exterior presentation. Audio and connectivity functions include a CD player with six speakers, MP3 compatibility, AUX and USB inputs, mobile-phone connectivity and steering-wheel-mounted controls.

This example has travelled 170,948 kilometres and is listed with a 12-month remaining warranty. The vehicle record indicates that an owner’s manual and service history are present. It is registered under plate DN32JC until 29 April 2027, and the stated braked towing capacity is 1,400 kilograms.
