How many Nissan Qashqais are left in New Zealand?
Common 1 in 218 on the road Built 2007-2026 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
Designed and built in Britain and launched in 2007, the Qashqai replaced Nissan's ordinary family hatchback in Europe with something taller that looked like an SUV but drove like a car. Buyers took to it at once and nearly every rival followed. It is named after a nomadic people of Iran, and the first generation was sold in Japan and Australia as the Dualis.
