ANCAP Safety
Tested
2025

The Nissan Qashqai was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in October 2022.

Nissan has since introduced changes to the safety specification of the Qashqai, and this ANCAP safety rating applies to all Nissan Qashqai vehicles built from November 2025 and on sale from March 2026 (VIN SJNJ12***A2261759 onwards). A separate rating applies to Nissan Qashqai vehicles built prior to November 2025.

This ANCAP safety rating for the Nissan Qashqai is based on testing of the Nissan Qashqai conducted in 2021 and 2025.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting airbags are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction & Crossing, and Backover), as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and a speed assist system (SAS) with a speed sign recognition system, are standard on all variants.

A full list of safety features and technologies can be viewed within the Technical Report (see download link).
