ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The tested model of Nissan DUALIS was introduced in Australia in October 2007. This rating applies to variants fitted with side thorax airbags and head-protecting side curtain airbags.

Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 will require Electronic Stability Control in order achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.

The left-hand-drive European model (marketed as the Qashqai) was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page. A 2 litre engine is standard in Australia.

Safety equipment, as tested, not standard on all variants. Dual front airbags and antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) are standard equipment. Side airbags, head-protecting side curtain airbags and electronic stability control (ESC) are optional on the ST variant and standard on the TI variant. Intelligent seat belt reminders earned three bonus points from Euro NCAP but they are not fitted to the Australasian DUALIS. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
