The ST is the base version of the third-generation Qashqai launched in Australia right at the end of 2022, and facelifted in early 2025.
Despite being the entry-level model, Nissan has ensured that equipment levels are now in line with expectations for a slightly premium small SUVs out of Europe.
These include dual-zone climate control, walk-to/away central locking, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a wireless phone charger and 17-inch alloy wheels. Plus, the safety spec is high, with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, seven airbags and more.
Under the bonnet is a 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, making 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque. It drives the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Keeping all that in check is MacPherson-style strut front end and a multi-link independent rear suspension system.

Running on premium unleaded petrol, the Qashqai ST averages 6.1 litres per 100km, for a carbon dioxide emissions rating of 138 grams per kilometre.
At the other end of the vehicle, the cargo capacity is a generous 504 litres with all seats up and 1447L with the backrests down, while a 17-inch temporary spare wheel lives under the floor.
Finally, while a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty with intervals at every 12 months or 15,000km is standard, Nissan will extend that to 10 years/300,000km with matching road-side assistance if you choose to service your Qashqai at a Nissan dealer.

Byron started his motoring journalism career when he joined John Mellor in 1997 before becoming a freelance motoring writer two years later. He wrote for several motoring publications and was ABC Youth radio Triple J’s “all things automotive” correspondent from 2001 to 2003. He rejoined John Mellor in early 2003 and has been with GoAutoMedia as a senior product and industry journalist ever since. With an eye for detail and a vast knowledge base of both new and used cars Byron lives and breathes motoring. His encyclopedic knowledge of cars was acquired from childhood by reading just about every issue of every car magazine ever to hit a newsstand in Australia. The child Byron was the consummate car spotter, devoured and collected anything written about cars that he could lay his hands on and by nine had driven more imaginary miles at the wheel of the family Ford Falcon in the driveway at home than many people drive in a lifetime. The teenage Byron filled in the agonising years leading up to getting his driver’s license by reading the words of the leading motoring editors of the country and learning what they look for in a car and how to write it. In short, Byron loves cars and knows pretty much all there is to know about every vehicle released during his lifetime as well as most of the ones that were around before then.
