What are the pros and cons of the Nissan Qashqai's all-wheel drive system?

I'm considering buying a Nissan Qashqai and was wondering about the benefits and drawbacks of the all-wheel drive system. Is it worth the extra cost? I live in an area with harsh winters, but also have a long commute. Any personal experiences or advice would be appreciated.

As a long-time Nissan Qashqai owner, I can tell you that the all-wheel drive system is definitely worth the extra cost for harsh winter conditions. It provides added stability and traction on snowy or icy roads.

I live in a milder climate and opted for the front-wheel drive version of the Qashqai, which has saved me money and performed just fine. It really depends on your specific needs and driving habits.

I've heard great things about the all-wheel drive system in the Qashqai and decided to splurge for it. I haven't regretted it at all, even in unexpected rain or mud situations.
