The Nissan Qashqai, one of the UK’s most popular SUVs, has recently had a facelift.
A popular choice with the nation since they were first manufactured in 2007, the Qashqai is a reliable and modern compact SUV, that’s ideal if you’re looking for a practical option to run around in. With plenty of space and many colour options available, the Qashqai could be perfect for you. Currently, the Qashqai is available in eight different colours along with the option of choosing a pearl black roof with five of the colours (dependent on spec level), – a simple yet effective way to really elevate the design of the Qashqai. The black roof compliments the black detailing perfectly which gives it a more sporty and modern aesthetic. The latest model comes in five spec levels and is available as a mild hybrid or a full hybrid electric vehicle (FHEV). You can expect a Qashqai at an entry-level to start around £30,000.

Nissan Qashqai: Exterior colours
Blade Silver
This metallic shade of silver is a fantastic choice if you want a bright paint on your Qashqai. Blade Silver is a clean and fresh-looking colour, and the metallic really enhances the shade to give a bright and polished look.

Ceramic Grey
Ceramic grey is one of the two pearlescent paint options that Nissan offer on the Qashqai (Pearl Black being the other one). The pearl in the paint means the grey is a much richer colour that looks almost matte in the light. The combination of pearl and grey means the Ceramic Grey is a sophisticated yet trendy choice. You can also opt for a black roof with this paint option on certain specs.

Fuji Sunset Red
The word ‘sunset’ suits this energetic red with orange undertones perfectly. Its metallic finish highlights the warmth of the red-orange combination in different lights. A great choice if you’re looking for something a little different while not being too garish. You can also opt for a black roof with this paint option on certain specs.

Gun Metallic
Gun Metallic is a more classic ‘grey’ option than the Ceramic Grey, which is more matte. The Gun Metallic is a darker grey combined with a shimmer which appears almost sparkly in some lightings. This colour is perfect if you prefer a timeless and elegant option.

Ocean Deep
Despite this colour being the only free-of-charge paint option, it certainly doesn’t lack in quality. This mellow blue-green shade creates a slightly moody yet stylish look to the SUV, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your family run-around. You can also opt for a black roof with this paint option on certain specs.

Magnetic Blue
Magnetic Blue, priced at £745, is the cost-option shade of blue offered on the Qashqai. It’s vibrant compared to the Ocean Deep. It is a much brighter and bolder shade of blue, that combined with the black detailing of the SUV really pops and enhances the car’s features – perfect if you’re looking to make more of a fun statement. You can also opt for a black roof with this paint option on certain specs.

Pearl Black
Pearl Black is a rich metallic option. It’s a deep shade which looks almost pearlescent due to the metallic in the paint, giving off a refined and premium feel above your standard shade of black – a great choice if you’re looking for a sophisticated and classic colour.

Pearl White
Similar to Pearl Black, Pearl White is a richer metallic option of the standard white colour, making it a great yet subtle choice if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd. The Pearl White option is a bright and elegant shade that combined with the pearlescent paint effect, gives the Qashqai a clean and chic look. You can also opt for a black roof with this paint option on certain specs.
