Nissan's Qashqai compact crossover has proven to be very popular in Europe
selling 100,000 units only nine months after its launch - and Middle East
demand is following the same trend. The model has exceeded sales forecasts in
all markets since March, in markets such as Holland, Portugal and Austria,
Greece, Slovakia and Norway. The UK and Russia are the Qashqai's two largest
markets. Proportionately, it is doing equally well in the Middle East. The Qashqai
was designed and developed in Europe following extensive research of local
market buying patterns and a deep consumer analysis of unmet needs among
car-buyers.
