A compact city-family SUV sold both as NZ-new Qashqai and JDM Dualis imports.
Last reviewed: 24 April 2026
The Nissan Qashqai is a compact crossover that sits below the X-Trail in Nissan's NZ lineup and slots into the same bracket as the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-30, and Toyota C-HR. A meaningful share of used NZ stock arrives as Japanese-import Dualis, which is the same car under its JDM name, per Carjam NZ fleet data. The J11 generation ran locally from 2014 to 2021, and the current J12 launched in NZ in 2022 with a 1.3 turbo petrol and later e-Power hybrid. Loan amounts commonly span $15,000 to $50,000, placing the Qashqai in the city-family SUV finance segment where lenders have dependable residual data on both the NZ-new and import streams.

Financing notes
At a $24,000 used J11 facelift Qashqai on a five-year term at 8.5% indicative, the weekly repayment sits at roughly $113, or about $491 a month. A new J12 Ti-L e-Power near $50,000 on the same settings lifts the weekly to around $236. JDM Dualis imports from earlier J11 stock commonly land between $10,000 and $16,000, where a three or four-year term keeps total interest modest. Qashqai depreciation has historically been moderate across J11 and J12 on indicative NZ used-market trends.
Model-specific questions
On a $24,000 used J11 Qashqai at 8.5% indicative over five years with no deposit, the repayment works out to roughly $113 a week. A new 2024 Ti-L e-Power at $50,000 on the same settings lands near $236. A 20% deposit on that $50,000 Qashqai drops the weekly to around $189. These figures are illustrative only; actual rates depend on the lender's assessment.
Yes. The Dualis is the JDM name for the Qashqai and is financed on the same basis as NZ-new examples once entry compliance is certified and the first NZ WoF is issued. Indicative rates on imports typically sit slightly above an equivalent NZ-new Qashqai because residual data is thinner, and maximum term is sometimes capped at four or five years rather than seven.
All three sit in the same compact-SUV bracket and run similar indicative rate bands on five-year terms. Buyers who prioritise lower-mileage JDM import supply often favour the Qashqai or Dualis stream; buyers who prioritise longer new-car warranty commonly favour the Kia Seltos. Cross-shopping tends to turn on buy-in, warranty, and infotainment more than finance terms alone.
The e-Power hybrid carries a meaningful buy-in premium, with claimed fuel economy around 5.5 L/100km against roughly 7.2 L/100km on the 1.3 turbo petrol. Over a typical five-year loan the fuel saving often offsets part of the premium above 12,000 km a year, with the break-even depending on fuel price and annual distance. Below 8,000 km a year the petrol math typically lands cheaper overall.
Qashqai depreciation across J11 and J12 has been moderate on indicative NZ used-market trends, which typically keeps a five-year loan above water from around year two onward. A 10 to 20% deposit and a term of five years or less are widely observed defences against year-one negative equity on new J12 stock. Dualis imports tend to hold value more steadily because they arrive already depreciated.
Five years is the widely observed default across both J11 and J12 stock. Three and four-year terms are common on older J11 or Dualis imports under $18,000 where total interest stays modest. Seven-year terms on a new Ti-L e-Power reduce the weekly but grow total interest; on our calculator a $44,000 loan at 8.5% indicative costs roughly $5,000 more over seven years than five.
Yes, on essentially the same terms as a dealer purchase. A broker can source an indicative rate before negotiating. A Carjam report typically verifies the VIN, odometer, and any existing secured interest on the PPSR; the seller must clear any listed security at settlement. A pre-purchase inspection at $150 to $250 is widely regarded as worth the cost on J11 stock.

Disclaimer
A car loan is a commitment that runs for years, and repayments come out of the same pay cheque as everything else. Before committing, it is worth modelling the weekly and monthly cost against the household budget, which is what this site is built to help with. Borrowing at a level that stays comfortable on a bad week, not a good one, is widely regarded as the safer frame.
Carfinance.org.nz earns a commission from a partner brand when a visitor applies through this site and their application is approved. That commission is paid by the partner, not the applicant, and it does not influence the rate the lender offers. We refer every visitor to the same partner because they compare multiple New Zealand lenders on the applicant's behalf, so the recommendation is not driven by a sponsored deal. Every figure shown on this site is a modelled estimate based on the inputs entered; the actual rate, fees, and repayments are set by the lender after assessing the applicant's circumstances and own credit decision. Carfinance.org.nz is a calculator and information tool. We are not a lender, not a broker, and not a registered financial adviser. Any decision about whether a specific loan suits a specific situation is best made after talking with the lender, and for amounts that materially affect the household, with a registered financial adviser.
