How much is a Nissan Qashqai? Full costs revealed.
Thinking about buying a Nissan Qashqai? It's been one of the most popular cars in the UK for years, ranking as the #3 most popular car in the UK for 2025 with over 40,000 new registrations.

Nissan Qashqai Price
In 2024, starting OTR Nissan Qashqai prices for new vehicles ranged from £30,135 for an Acenta DIGT140 2WD MT all the way up to £42,980 for the Tekna+ e-POWER 190 2WD AT (although the lowest Tekna+ trim starts at £38,875). But there are many variants in between and rarely are vehicles sold at starting OTR prices, because cars might include some extras like a different paint colour that can raise the price. So in real life, how much does a Nissan Qashqai really cost?
The NimbleFins car data experts have dug into publicly available new and used car data to learn how much motorists are really paying for their Nissan Qashqai cars. Across different trim variants, the study found that the average price for a brand new Nissan Qashqai was £34,781 in the summer of 2024.
Cost of a new Nissan Qashqai
In 2026, new Nissan Qashqai SUVs OTR prices are generally in the mid-£30,000s, depending on the trim level. For example, an e-POWER Hybrid starts from £34,860 OTR, and gets up to 64.2 mpg fuel consumption on the combined cycle, providing up to 777 miles of range. An N-Connecta can be found starting from £33,935. But at the higher end, an e-POWER Tekna+ set you back from £43,210.
Cost of a used Nissan Qashqai
In the 2026 used market, a 2025 reg (less than 1 year old) typically costs around £29,737, while 2024 models (1–2 years old) average £25,767. These values remain high as the median price for a used car in the UK has climbed over £16,000. Additionally, the average age of cars on UK roads has hit a record 9.6 years, as more owners hold onto their vehicles longer to avoid new debt.
Nissan Qashqai Insurance Costs
NimbleFins analysed hundreds of cheap car insurance quotes and determined that a low-risk driver could pay in the range of £300 - £400 a year to insure a new Nissan Qashqai with comprehensive cover, making the Qashqai one of the cheaper cars to insure in the UK. But typical prices would be closer to £630 per year.
Prices can vary significantly across driver profiles (e.g. age, driving record, location, etc.) but also by type of vehicle so your prices will certainly vary. But generally speaking, more expensive cars cost more to insure so higher trim levels might be more costly to insure—but in the case of the Qashqai, not by much.
In fact, NimbleFins tests showed that for Nissan Qashqai, an N-Connect, N-Design or Tekna can all cost less to insure compared to an Acenta. There could be many reason for this. Perhaps the Acenta is more likely to be stolen, for instance. Also, there seem to be fewer Acentas licensed in the UK; perhaps to popularity of the other trim levels serves to make the insurance market more competitive for those vehicles, as insurers will have more data and knowledge available for their pricing models.

Nissan Qashqai Road Tax Cost
The road tax for a new Nissan Qashqai depends on the type of fuel / energy and the list price.
As of April 1, 2025, the standard Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) has risen to £195 per year. Owners of high-spec models, such as the Tekna+ trim, must be especially cautious; if the total list price exceeds £40,000, you will be liable for a £410 'luxury car tax' supplement for five years, bringing your total annual tax bill to over £600.
