New 2014 Nissan Qashqai revealed in pictures

The new 2014 Nissan Qashqai was unveiled in London on Thursday - giving us the first glance at what will surely become one of the most popular family cars of 2014.

The new Qashqai remains a chunky crossover, mixing the best bits of a tall SUV with the creature comforts of a family hatch. Expect to see the new Qashqai in UK dealerships from January 2014, priced from around £17,000 for an entry-level 1.2 petrol model.
