For the first time, the Nissan Qashqai crossover was presented to the public in October 2006 as part of the Paris Auto Show. And despite the fact that by this time, global manufacturers had already managed to occupy the niche of compact crossovers with their new products, Qashqai made a confident debut and was recognized as one of the best cars in its class. The first generation of the "Japanese" was so successful that in 2009 he only needed cosmetic restyling. Well, let's look at how the small Nissan-Qashqai crossover gained such popularity in the world market.
Owner reviews and appearance review
Designers endowed the novelty with a rather assertive appearance. At the front, the crossover shows us a powerful impact bumper with an unusual air intake design (it is visually divided into 2 parts). The main optics of a rectangular shape are placed on the sides, andbetween it flaunts an openwork radiator grille with a chrome-plated Nissan emblem. The embossed hood and flat roof successfully complete the look of the Nissan Qashqai crossover. Owner reviews say that the developers managed to create the design of a real SUV. However, its main element is the city. Therefore, comfort should not be in last place here.
"Nissan-Qashqai": reviews of the owners about the interior
The interior of the car surprises with its spaciousness and functionality. The car comfortably accommodates up to 6 people, including the driver. By the way, for large families, the company has provided a separate modification of Qashqai + 2. It can accommodate 2 more people. For the driver, a comfortable 3-spoke steering wheel, an adjustable column and a mass of electronics are provided. Among the main auxiliary systems, it is worth noting the presence of an on-board computer with a TFT monitor, which is equipped with all configurations of the Nissan Qashqai crossovers (you can see the front panel photo below).
As for the seats, the manufacturer did not decide to emphasize rigidity and sportiness, as the Japanese did with the latest generation of the Lancer. The seats here are quite soft, comfortable, and the presence of various adjustments allows you to adjust them to the anatomical features of a person. As you can see, comfort is not the last thing that the developers of the Nissan-Qashqai crossover paid attention to.
Engine Specifications
For the Russian market, three petrol engines are provided, among which the base is a 1.6-liter unit with a capacity of 114 horsepower. It is equipped with the only 5-speed "mechanics". The average motor with its volume of 1.6 liters already develops 117 “horses” of power. It works in tandem with a stepless variator. "Top" is considered a two-liter 141-horsepower unit, which is supplied with a 6-speed "mechanics" or a CVT variator.
The cost of the new Nissan Qashqai crossover
Owner reviews note the availability of cars on the Russian market. Its price starts at 806 thousand rubles. For this cost, only the front-wheel drive version of the Nissan Qashqai crossover will be available to customers. For all-wheel drive will have to pay 986 thousand rubles. The most expensive equipment costs about 1 million 176 thousand.
