The Nissan Qashqai has exterior dimensions which suggest it should be a spacious car inside, but there is debate over whether it actually manages to deliver. It’s certainly roomy enough for some owners; others find it surprisingly cramped, especially in the rear seat and cargo areas. Most of the discussion is centered around how the Qashqai compares to traditional hatchbacks and wagons in terms of practical space usage. But questions remain as to whether the higher ride height and SUV styling actually bring more usable interior or are just for show. The subject also intersects with the larger discussion of whether crossovers are more realistic than conventional body styles.
