The ST-L is the second Qashqai in the three-step range. Powered by the same 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated engine as the rest of the range, you have 106kW/200Nm at your command, driving the front wheels exclusively through a CVT auto.

Standard features include reversing camera, cruise control, air-conditioning, 7.0-inch media touchscreen, DAB+ digital radio, six speaker stereo, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, sat nav, roof rails, 18-inch alloy wheels, space-saver spare, front and rear parking sensors and cloth trim.

The five-star ANCAP safety rating comes courtesy of six airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, around-view cameras (in addition to the reversing camera) and forward auto emergency braking. Baby car seats are anchored with three top-tether points or two ISOFIX points.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
