The ST opens the MY2018 Qashqai range and is distinguished by two main factors. First, it's the only Qashqai model you can have with the six-speed manual and second is that both CVT and manual STs are under $30,000. The manual is $26,490 and the auto $28,990

Standard on the ST is the new improved basic safety package. On top of the six airbags and usual braking and traction control systems are forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and forward autonomous emergency braking. Baby car seats are anchored with three top-tether points or two ISOFIX points.

Also included are a reversing camera, cruise control, air-conditioning, 5.0-inch media touchscreen, six speaker stereo, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, 17-inch alloy wheels, space-saver spare, front and rear parking sensors and cloth trim.

As with all Qashqais, the engine is a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder with 106kW/200Nm. Power hits the road via the front wheels only and you can choose a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT) auto.

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.
