What is the Nissan Qashqai?
The Nissan Qashqai is a compact crossover car manufactured since 2006. The first generation Nissan Qashqai is sold under the name Nissan Dualis in Japan and Australia. The Qashqai was created to replace the off-road capable body-on-frame Mistral/Terrano II with the use of a new P32L automobile platform.

For instance, the Nissan GT-R was first called as the Obakemono (a shape-shifting monster), which was then replaced to Godzilla by car enthusiasts.

This nomadic people display fine qualities such as being versatile and resilient, which is featured by the Nissan Qashqai.
