So this is the
Nissan QuashQui. Just your average catalyst for change, for
shifting… the boundaries… between car and SUV.
The thing is, the boundaries have already been blurred. In
fact they were blurred ever since the first SUVs were called
by that name. Now they’re just becoming big, comfortable
cars.
The name comes from a nomadic desert tribe. Nissan says its
QuashQui is an urban nomad. Okay… !?
What we say is cut to the chase, fellahs. This is an
enlarged hatchback, with front-wheel-drive, slightly raised
ground-clearance, and a striking good-looking body.
It was done badly by Rover with its Streetwise, but this
looks like a good rendition of a logical progression.
From SUVs with four-wheel-drive, which nobody needed, to
SUVs with two-wheel-drive, which save fuel.
Ideal for a fairly sophisticated country with roads that
need some work.
Should go down well in South Africa.
