Tell me about the 2012 Nissan Qashqai+2...
The question
I am looking to buy a 2012 Nissan Qashqai+2 SVE petrol version; can you please let me know what are the spec differences between SV and SVE for the year 2012?
Does this model have timing chain or belt and what would be the replacement interval?
What would be the mpg on this particular model?
Thanks.

Hi there,
Right, I'll be honest - we had to get on to Nissan Ireland for help with this, but it came through in spades.
Over and above the SV model, the SVE added Xenon headlights, Intelligent Key, illuminated passenger sunvisor, seven-speaker BOSE audio system, 17-inch alloys and rear parking sensors.
The engine has a timing chain, not a belt, so it doesn't need replacement, but it does need to be inspected at regular intervals. Any Qashqai with a full service history should be fine on that score.
In terms of economy, the 1.6 petrol Qashqai got 44mpg overall while the 1.6 diesel got 55mpg, or 60mpg if it was fitted with the stop-start system.
Hope that all helps
