Nissan Qashqai Extended Car Warranty
What Happens After the Nissan Qashqai’s Factory Warranty Ends
The third-generation Nissan Qashqai launched in South Africa in September 2022 with a single 1.3-litre turbo petrol. Nissan then pulled the Qashqai from showrooms, with TopAuto reporting the end of a run of more than 17 years in June 2024. Nissan said the discontinuation would not affect aftersales service for existing customers.
This page covers the 2022–2024 cars. Earlier Qashqais in South Africa had different engines and aren’t covered by the sources we reviewed.
Nissan Qashqai Factory Warranty and Service Plan — What You Started With
- The launch coverage for the 2022 car gave no warranty or service plan terms
- A review of an earlier Qashqai quoted a 6-year / 150,000 km warranty and a 3-year / 90,000 km service plan, which may not apply to the 2022 car
Check your own service booklet, or ask a Nissan dealer using your VIN, because the terms for the 2022 car are not confirmed in the sources we found.

Known Nissan Qashqai Problems to Date
We found no South African buyer’s guide with a documented fault list for the 2022 Qashqai, and no recall, so we don’t publish an invented one. We quote no repair costs.
1.3 turbo and CVT, short record
The 1.3-litre turbo and the CVT are the main drivetrain, and the cars are no more than about four years old, so there is little long-term South African failure data. A small turbo and a CVT are both complex and costly to repair out of warranty.
Discontinued model
Nissan has said aftersales support continues, but with the model discontinued, keep a full service history, which supports resale and any claim, and check any used car by VIN for recalls.
Compiled from launch and discontinuation coverage up to October 2026. Sources: TopAuto (Qashqai launch); TopAuto (Qashqai discontinued). No Qashqai fault list or recall was found. Details can change — confirm with a Nissan dealer.
Why Nissan Qashqai Owners Choose an Extended Warranty
With the Qashqai discontinued, owners tend to keep their cars for years, and its turbo and CVT repairs out of warranty are costly. An extended motor warranty keeps repair costs predictable once that cover ends. It is subject to its own terms and exclusions — ask Cheryl what applies to your Qashqai.
