Nissan UK will unveil two new versions of its popular Nissan Qashqai crossover at the London motor show this month – the Qashqai+2 and the Sound and Style.
The Qashqai+2, with its 2765mm extended wheelbase, features a third row of foldaway seats. Admittedly the extra seating has been “designed for children or occasional use by small adults”, but luggage space has also increased by 90 litres to 450 litres. That means the bigger Qashqai should easily cope with five adults and their luggage.
Nissan will also have a top-spec edition of the Qashqai on its stand at Excel. Called the Sound and Style, it features extra kit such as a Bose sound system and 18-inch wheels. It will go on sale in November; Nissan is expected to announce prices for both cars at the London show.

Re: Nissan launches bigger Qashqai
I have that same problem on my soon to be replaced Espace. I paid loads extra for the glassroof thing and it is a nightmare. When the sun is shining you feel like an ant under a magnifying glass and when the sun isn't shining you don't want to look at grey skies anyway.
Should have got parking sensors instead.
Re: Nissan launches bigger Qashqai
Anybody know if you can get the Q+2 without the annoying glass roof? That's the last thing I want in a car given the campaigning to close the sun roof blind on my current car from my son.
Re: Nissan launches bigger Qashqai
Well, our very own James Ruppert just got a 2000 V70 with the 2 extra rear seats. I reckon Volvo stopped offering them when they came up with the XC90, based on the concept that families with 3 or more children need a car the size of a small caribbean island. So short sighted and prescriptive. Besides, we all know that seats located in the back of cars don't need to face rearward. We all know that they don't need to be suitable for adults too. Am I the only one who gets this????
