This is the new Nissan Qashqai Vs Toyota Corolla Cross comparison for 2023. The most appropriate comparison at the moment is this one, the new Corolla Cross vs the new Qashqai. That is because both where release late last year with similar size and pricing. So how do the latest smallish SUV models compare and which one is the better one to buy?
Nissan Qashqai Vs Toyota Corolla Cross exterior comparison: The Qashqai is currently a good looking SUV with contemporary design touches. Ultimately it will be a conservative design over the next few years. In comparison the Corolla Cross design is already the older one and looks it. That said it is not an unattractive car, just dated.
Nissan Qashqai Vs Toyota Corolla Cross interior comparison: The interior design of both reflect their external design language. The Qashqai has a contemporary design and materials that looks and feels good for the price. However it is certainly not unique to Nissan and feels generic. In comparison the Corolla Cross has a nice but older design, materials are good for the price as well. Top range models grades for the Qashqai has a more upmarket feel than the Corolla Cross which is best described as conservative and sturdy but unimpressive.
Nissan Qashqai Vs Toyota Corolla Cross engine and technology comparison: Since equipment level is dependent on model grades, options and subject to promotions we have to generalise the comparison. Simply put the Qashqai does not have any novel safety or tech systems that we haven’t seen before. Likewise the Corolla Cross doesn’t have any tech that is new. However the Corolla Cross does have the well known hybrid engine system and an AWD system that uses additional electric motors.
The conclusion and winner of the Nissan Qashqai Vs Toyota Corolla Cross comparison is the Corolla Cross. Despite it’s aged appearance the Corolla Cross wins is because of the hybrid engine, standard safety systems and that there is the better sounding JBL sound system in some models. The Qashqai at the moment has a modern interior and exterior but not enough in the engine department despite costing more.
