If you looking for auto model, then take note that Tucson DCT models have reported transmission problems.
You can also consider Kia Sportage (does not share DCT transmission with Tucson IIRC).
The Sportage does use exactly the same DCT transmission as the Tucson, hardly surprising when they are both built in Europe, (Kia Slovakia, Hyundai Czech Republic - basically next door) from many Korean parts.
The Tucson/Sportage is quite a bit bigger than the Qashqai. If you need that size car the Nissan X-Trail would probably be worth a look.
I can confirm that the Sportage 1.6 GDi is a slug so would expect the Tucson to be the same. Cannot see the 1.2 DIG-T Qashqai being much better but the 1.6 DIG-T looked very interesting to us a few months ago. The 1.6 petrol turbo Sportage is only available in top spec 4 x 4 versions but they then fit 19" wheels with rubber band tyres to make the car all but useless.
