5 + 2?

The Nissan Qashqai +2 has not had great reviews about its extra seat capacity. Do you know if they are going to bring out a slightly more comfortable one? Would you recommend an alternative?

For dwarfs, midgets and small children only. In fairness, Nissan does not pretend it is anything else. For proper rear seats you need a Chevrolet Captiva, Vauxhall Antara, Hyundai Santa Fe, KIA Sorento or Nissan’s own, bigger Pathfinder.
