Our answer:
Hi Sheena,
On the Qashqai, XE is the lowest specification and Acenta is higher up, so you (typically) get more equipment with the Acenta. The Smart Vision Pack you mention was a bundle that threw in Traffic Sign Recognition, High-Beam Assist and Front Collision Avoidance for a set fee, so models fitted with it will command a slightly higher used premium. For the Hyundai, higher specifications are Premium and Premium SE, but while we like the current Tucson from the company, the Qashqai Mk2 is a better vehicle than the Hyundai ix35. If you do less than 20,000km per annum, a petrol Qashqai Acenta Smart Vision Pack would be a superb choice; if you do more than 20,000km, switch the petrol engine for a diesel.
