The crossover that still drives like a normal car. Pick the exact Nissan you want.
Nissan invented this category with the Qashqai, and after fifteen years of everyone copying it, the original is still the one that feels least like a compromise. You get the high seating position and the easy access of a crossover without the wallowing and the wind noise that taller cars usually bring. For a Greek week that mixes city parking with village roads, that middle ground is exactly the right place to be. On Sync you see the specific car and its year before you book.
A Qashqai diesel is one of the more restful ways to cross the country, with enough sound insulation that a four-hour drive does not wear you down. The petrol versions are fine but work harder on long climbs. The Micra is a city car and will feel like one after two hours on the motorway. As always, check the daily kilometre allowance on the listing as well as the fuel range before committing to a long route.
Daily prices sit in the middle of the platform. A Qashqai diesel returns around 5.5 litres per 100km on a mixed route, which is good for a car of that height, and the petrol versions land nearer 7 in town. These were among the best-selling cars in Greece for a decade, so parts and independent servicing are cheap and available everywhere, which keeps host prices sensible and long bookings low risk.
The Qashqai's strength is visibility: large windows, a high driving position and thin enough pillars that a narrow village street is less stressful than in most modern cars. Interiors are plain and durable rather than luxurious. Newer models have the around-view camera system, which shows a bird's-eye view when parking and is the single most useful piece of equipment you can have in an Athens side street.
A rental "SUV" category can mean a Qashqai or something far bigger and harder to park, and for a week in a Greek city that difference is felt daily. On Sync the listing is one specific car: the model, the year, the gearbox and the host's own photos, so you know whether you are getting the manageable crossover or something you will be reversing out of every alley. Many hosts can deliver it to an address you choose for a set fee, you pay by card, and no deposit is held on a standard-value car.
The Qashqai is the core of the range and the one most listings are: family-sized, easy to see out of and easy to park for its height. The Juke is the smaller, quirkier crossover with a tighter back seat. The Micra is the city car, cheap to run and simple. The X-Trail is the larger option, sometimes with seven seats, which is worth searching for specifically. The live list on this page shows which are free on your dates.
Many Qashqai models use a CVT automatic, which holds the engine at a constant note when you accelerate hard. It is normal rather than a fault, but it feels different from a conventional automatic and is worth knowing before your first motorway slip road. Most Qashqai cars sold in Greece are front-wheel drive despite the crossover shape, so if you need all-wheel drive, confirm it on the listing rather than assuming.

The vehicle was very comfortable and extremely well-maintained, both aesthetically and mechanically. Even though it's a few years old, it feels and drives like it’s brand new. I highly recommend it! As for the owner,...
Easier than its size suggests. The visibility is the reason: large windows and a high seating position mean you can place the corners accurately, and newer models add an around-view camera that shows the car from above. It is still bigger than a Corsa, so a tight Kolonaki street is work, but among crossovers it is one of the least stressful.
Qashqai for almost everyone. It has a usable back seat, a proper boot and better visibility. The Juke is smaller outside, which helps in a city, but the rear seat and boot are noticeably tighter and the styling costs you practicality. Pick the Juke only if it is just one or two of you and parking is the dominant concern.
Smooth in traffic and slightly odd under hard acceleration, where the engine holds one note instead of stepping through gears. Nothing is wrong when that happens. In stop-start Athens driving most people prefer it to a manual within a day, and it removes any question about whether you can drive a clutch.
Usually not. Most Qashqai cars in Greece are front-wheel drive, which is fine for asphalt, village roads and light gravel but not for a steep dirt track. If your week needs genuine traction on unpaved ground, look at a Suzuki with AllGrip or a 4x4 Jeep instead, and confirm the drivetrain on the listing before booking.
Rent exactly the model you want from local Hosts and have it delivered where it suits you.
