Nissan’s Qashqai will soon become a seven-seater.

The Qashqai+2 will be officially unveiled at the London Motor Show in July and go on sale later in the year.

Nissan says its arrival follows rivals attempts to emulate the original Qashqai, which has been a bestseller for the Japanese manufacturer.

The new car is longer, wider and higher than the original Qashqaim and has a fold flat third row of seats.

Two petrol and two diesel models will be available, in two or four-wheel-drive.
