Nissan Qashqai

The Nissan Qashqai (first generation) (known as the Nissan Dualis in Australia and Japan and as the Nissan Xiaoke in China) is a compact SUV that was produced by Japanese carmaker Nissan from December 2006 to October 2015. Designed by a team led by Stefan Schwarz, the Qashqai is widely regarded as one of the first urban crossovers and the first Nissan developed almost entirely in Europe. Development began in 2002 to replace the poorly marketed second-generation Almera. Two years later, a concept was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. The production version was presented in September 2006 at the Paris Motor Show, and sales began in Europe and the Middle East in 2007. By 2009, the Qashqai was also sold in South Africa, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The Qashqai was initially only a five-seat model, until a longer seven-seat version named Qashqai+2 launched in Europe in September 2008. Both were facelifted in 2010, featuring a sportier exterior design. By this time, the vehicle was a global success, reaching its one millionth car sold in May 2011. Production in Sunderland, United Kingdom, ended in March 2014, when a second-generation model was introduced. Subsequently, production ended in Japan in 2014 and in China in 2015. Total cumulative sales reached 2 million by 2014, making the Qashqai a great success for Nissan, which helped it earn the nickname "cash cow".
