Three reasons to buy a 2023 Nissan Qashqai if you are a young family in Burnaby

When you suddenly find yourself with a young family, you have to think about acquiring a vehicle that will serve you well, without ruining you to the point of preventing you from living experiences, precisely, with your family.

That's why a model like the Nissan Qashqai is the obvious choice. This SUV is in fact ideal for any young family that wants the best of both worlds. Here's why it's such a good deal if you live in the Burnaby area.

Space

There are plenty of sub-compact SUVs on the market. So many, in fact, that they fall into two categories: the smaller ones and the slightly larger ones. The Qashqai fits into the latter tent, so when it comes to space, it really does offer everything you need.

In addition to the five comfortable seats, there's a 564- or 648-litre trunk behind the second row of seats, depending on whether you opt for a four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive model. Better yet, the seats can be laid back to maximize space for carrying larger stuff; 1509 liters with the two-wheel drive model, 1730 with the all-wheel drive model.

Of course, if you have a child, you don't get all that space, because you have to leave a seat in the second row. But since the bench seat can be folded 60-40 for total flexibility, you can still enjoy a more than generous volume.

Economical

The other advantage of the Qashqai is that the powertrain under the hood is very frugal. Nissan's 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine offers 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque, which is enough for dynamic driving. Better yet, at the pump, it's very reasonable with minimal consumption. We're talking about 8.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.3 L/100 km on the highway with a front-wheel drive model equipped with the CVT. The averages rise to 9.0 and 7.6 liters, respectively, with four-wheel drive.

So you can breathe easy financially with a Qashqai.

Reliability

The Qashqai is a proven performer when it comes to reliability. So, you won't have any bad surprises with this vehicle if you decide to make it your companion for several years. It's easy to forget, but the reliable performance and low maintenance costs of a model have an incredible impact on any family's budget. Often it's the difference between a memorable vacation on the road in British Columbia or a week or two of activities at home, because of the money spent on repairs.

Really, the 2023 Nissan Qashqai is the perfect vehicle for any family living in Burnaby. Come see us to discover it and test drive it.
