Top safety marks for new Qashqai – by Eddie Cunningham

Irish Independent - 25.05.07

A car recently introduced here by Nissan has set a record for safety in the EuroNCAP crash results.

The Qashqai small-family-car-cum-SUV got a five-star rating for adult protection. That is the highest score for any vehicle.

The Qashqai (pictured) got maximum points in side impact tests while it got four out of five stars for child protection.

But even the top markers have their weaker areas and it got just two out of four stars for pedestrian protection.

Euro NCAP said it was a particularly impressive result for Nissan as the Qashqai was a new vehicle in the category.
