The Washington-built Nissan Qashqai has been voted the most reliable car in an annual poll of vehicle owners, based on feedback on 50,000 Uk drivers.
Consumer group Which?'s annual survey of vehicle dependability awarded the SUV a five-star rating, with testers and owners praising the car’s practicality, family appeal and dependability. The latest accolade comes just days after the Qashqai was confirmed as the best-selling new car in the UK in 2022 - the first time a British-made motor has topped the sales chart in almost a quarter of a century.
Which? said there wasn't another car dating back to 2021 that could match the Qashqai's five-star reliability. "Our data shows that 2023 is set to be the year of the Qashqai," said a Which? spokesperson. "Nissan’s efforts with the all-new version have seen it crowned our most reliable car for 2023 – a fantastic achievement for what is one of the more affordable cars in the sector. It’s easy to be dismissive given this is such a new car – after all, newer models tend to be more reliable. But looking at similar aged cars in our survey, not one was reliable enough to get five stars out of five in this category, let alone come anywhere near those at the top."
