Compare the Nissan Qashqai vs Ford Kuga
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Ford Kuga has a bigger boot than the Nissan Qashqai. On the motorway, both cars keep things quiet, with little road and wind noise in the Qashqai and remarkably quiet wind and road noise in the Kuga. When driving on a country lane, do not expect any fun in the Qashqai, though you will have enough confidence to carry speed through tight corners. The Kuga, on the other hand, is properly good fun to drive on a country lane. Inside, the Qashqai features a full panel of climate controls underneath the touchscreen. In the Kuga, the heater controls are screen-based and fiddly to use on the go.
