Which diesel engine is best for the Nissan Qashqai - 1.5 or 1.6 dCi?

I would like to buy a Nissan Qashqai. I'm looking ats 2018 cars with an automatic gearbox and diesel engine. Which engine should I choose, the 1.6 or the 1.5 dCi?

Answered by Russell Campbell

I'd recommend the 1.5 dCi – it's smoother and quieter, while there's little to choose between the two in terms of real-world performance.
