"When it created the compact crossover segment in 2007, the Qashqai ignited a major market trend. Its bold, evolving design and efficient, urban packaging has long been a key driver of its success.  To further enhance its urban functionality, the new Qashqai 360 comes as standard with Around View Monitor, technology exclusive to Nissan in this segment and typically found on much more expensive luxury vehicles," said Ponz Pandikuthira, head of Qashqai sales in Europe. 

The Qashqai 360 with Shazam will launch in Europe through the spring. The launch starts on January 14 in Russia, Latvia, Sweden and Lithuania and ends on March 4 in Switzerland.
