Qashqai is 11th

Nissan’s compact Crossover, the Qashqai, has been rated 11th overall in the J.D. Power/WhatCar? 2009 UK Vehicle Ownership Satisfaction Survey of 101 models. This is the first time it has appeared in the survey results.

The Sunderland built Qashai scored 81.4% and was rated third in the SUV category scoring highly for low ownership costs, visibility and design. The Nissan Note also did well scoring 80.1% and was in 29th position overall. Qashqai scored higher than all its traditional C-segment competitors including the VW Golf, Audi A3, Ford Focus, Mazda3, Vauxhall Astra, Honda Civic and Renault Megane.

Jim Oliver, Nissan Manufacturing UK’s Director of Quality Assurance, said “For Qashqai to be ranked 11th overall in its first appearance in the J.D Power WhatCar? 2009 UK Vehicle Ownership Satisfaction Survey is the result of Nissan’s long-term global commitment to delivering outstanding levels of quality, not just in terms of engineering but in customer service too. Quality remains a key priority for Nissan worldwide and this kind of independent recognition from our customers is a testament to the dedication of Nissan’s world-class workforce in constantly striving to raise the bar in terms of quality”.
