We’re delighted to announce that the Nissan Qashqai has been named the Best Family Car at the RAC New Car Awards 2026.
Nissan's famous crossover was assessed by RAC's expert car review team, who evaluated the car using a 10-point scoring system across seven key criteria: value, running costs, safety, practicality, ride and handling, interior and technology, and performance.
The RAC team praised Qashqai as being one of their favourite hybrid SUVs overall and the best option for UK families.
Dan Powell, RAC Drive Editor said:
''The British-built Nissan Qashqai is the most accomplished car in its class. All versions are easy to drive and spacious, while its e‑POWER hybrid technology blends performance and efficiency exceptionally well.
"The Qashqai surges ahead of its rivals in hybrid form, raising the bar for family car refinement, comfort and quality.''
