The crossover was named after the Qashqai tribe - nomads living in Iran. Along with the Asian origin of the name in japanese car there is also a significant proportion of the European genome. After all, it was completely developed in England. The London division was responsible for the design and technical stuffing designed in Bedfordshire.
Since its introduction on the market, the crossover has enjoyed good demand around the world. In 2008, its seven-seat modification Qashqai + 2 appeared: wheelbase increased by 135 mm, and the total length of the vehicle - by 211 mm. The body has become 38 mm higher.
The car was also successful in Russia, so it began to be produced at a plant in St. Petersburg. And second-hand Qashqai of the first generation continue to play an active secondary market.
BODY
- The left lamp board, on which the lamps are located, is installed very close to body panel... As a result, over time, it overheats and burns out. Most often because of this, the brake light fails. Fortunately, the board is available as a separate one.
- Paintwork quite thin and poorly resistant to chips and superficial scratches. But the body does not suffer from congenital foci of corrosion. Moreover, in Kashkai, unlike many models, the trunk lid under the trim does not rust.
- Original windshields short-lived. The risk of cracking even from a small stone is much higher than that of many competitors.
- The front wiper trapeze is short lived. Critical wear of its rods occurs after two years of operation. To significantly delay this moment, do not turn on the wipers if there is a pile of snow on the glass. Repair parts are not officially offered, but some services have learned to restore traction. Therefore, do not rush to change the trapezoid assembly.
- There are cases of fogging headlights. This applies to both restyled and "pre-reform" cars. Even without external mechanical impact over time, the tightness of the headlight housings is broken.
CHASSIS
- The front suspension of Kashkaya is frankly rather weak. The silent blocks of the front levers serve only 30,000 km, ball joints - a little longer. It's good that they can be changed separately.
- The rear bushings of the front subframe only hold 40,000 km. Fortunately, they are available as separate parts even in the original version.
- The front shock absorbers travel an average of 80,000 km. But their thrust bearings will have to be changed more often.
- Qashqai is equipped with. The control elements of the system are located in the steering column and do not cause any complaints, but rack and pinion starts knocking after about 60,000 km. The new rail is expensive. Fortunately, the old one can be restored without spending much. Steering rods and tips also do not have a great resource. But the market offers original spare parts separately and solid substitutes.
- Of all the elements of the system, the distribution box is subject to the greatest wear. It is constantly under load, since its gears always rotate when the machine is moving, regardless of the mode of operation of the transmission. Only 400 grams of oil is poured into it. It is advisable to change the fluid every 30,000 km and monitor the oil seals of the unit: they flow quite rarely, but if this happens, the distributor will die very quickly. The most unfavorable mode for her is when the car starts off sharply with the wheels turned out in automatic mode transmission operation: the clutch abruptly connects rear axle, and this creates an increased load on the distributor. The rest of the nodes are quite reliable - with reasonable operation, of course.
- When driving off-road, you can secure the transmission elements as much as possible with the following technique. We turn off the stabilization system and forcibly block the interaxle coupling. If the car is standing, then forcibly turn on the first virtual gear. In this case, it is more difficult to overload and overheat something.
- Crosspieces cardan shaft break only after 100,000 km. They die most quickly on cars that are idle for a long time on the street: the joints sour, this accelerates their wear.
- Rear brake calipers located poorly, and their design is not the most thoughtful. Even during normal operation, a lot of dirt gets into the calipers, as a result, they become very sour. Therefore, with each replacement of the pads, it is imperative to carry out full-fledged prophylaxis with disassembling the brake mechanisms.
- The weak link in rear suspension - silent blocks in the breakup levers. On cars over five years old, rubber-metal elements begin to deteriorate. And inside them the camber adjustment bolts sour.
- The rear shock absorbers live a little less than the front ones, regularly nursing at least 60,000 km.
SALON
- Over time, the steering column cable is frayed. Cars older than four to five years are at risk. Most often because of this, the steering wheel controls for the multimedia system and cruise control fail. This loop also has a driver's airbag and switches external lighting car.
- Pre-styling cars are notable for the unstable workmanship of interior elements. For example, on relatively low runs, the steering wheel peels off, as well as paint on plastic, the seat trim is wiped. With the update, the manufacturer significantly improved the quality, and most of the shortcomings went away.
- From age, the wiring connectors located at the driver's feet under the front pillar cover are often oxidized and rotted away. In this place, condensate from vapors actively accumulates, especially in winter period... The trouble is that almost all the electrics of the rear left side of the body are tied to these connectors, including the power supply of the gas pump and rear lighting equipment. Anything can refuse, there are no characteristic patterns. The wiring is being successfully repaired.
- The stove fan often fails. Over time, it gets clogged with dirt, the motor starts to work at its limit and eventually burns out. This usually happens after four to five years of operation. Sometimes the clutch of the air conditioner compressor also breaks. This happens in cars of the same age. The clutch is available as a standalone part, but it can be repaired inexpensively.
The report will be short, because a little over six months have passed since the purchase in October. During the winter I ran over a little, but went regularly - almost every week to the dacha (35 km), to shops and theaters, less often to visit my son (70 km) and to the ski slopes in the Moscow region. I went to work only once ... and decided to go there ahead by public transport (it turns out 30-40 minutes faster).
There were no breakdowns, accidents or malfunctions. In cold weather it started up instantly. LCP - like new, not a single scratch or scuff. That is, on the technical side, there are no problems. Although there is one technical featurecomplicating maintenance: access to cabin filter - from the side of the pedals (inherited from the right-hand drive car), although I myself will definitely not climb there.
I have been refueling all the time at the same gas station right at the exit from the parking lot, where I have been refueling for the last 12 years (only AI-95, no problem). Fuel consumption is highly dependent on speed. If you drive 90 km / h on a flat empty road, then the consumption is about 6 liters. At 100 km / h - 6.5 liters, and so on. In Moscow traffic jams, the average consumption is 10.5-11 liters. In blind plugs - up to 15 liters.
Strengths:
- Worth the money 100%
Weak sides:
- Standard wiper blades stick with snow in heavy snow
Review of Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (114 HP / 1.6 L / automatic transmission) (Nissan Qashqai) 2012
Hello reader!
Today I will tell you about new modification Qashqai, which I was one of the first to buy in the hero city of Moscow, namely Qashqai with a 1.6-liter engine and a CVT.
Since I would like to read mine it was interesting and not painful for everyone, I divided it into 4 parts: "torments of choice", "about the car", "cons", "about 1.6 with a variator". The smartest, who already know everything about Qashqai and are only interested in the question: "Is he going or not?" please go straight to the fourth part. To everyone else who has never driven it, I think it will be interesting to read the review in full, since it was written from "clean eyes."
Strengths:
- Good noise isolation
- Comfortable suspension
- Pretty
- The cheapest decent front-wheel-drive crossover
- Nashenskaya assembly
- Economical
- No "childhood" diseases
- Very good brakes
- Good visibility
- Very nice salon
- Long service interval
- Convenient trunk
- Rich basic configuration XE
- The rest is in the review
Weak sides:
- Ergonomic punctures
- The dynamics are not impressive
- Relatively low ceiling and doorways for a crossover
- Heavy steering wheel
- High prices for dopas at the dealer
- When entering a turn on high speed can demolish the butt a little (ESP does not interfere until the last)
- Scary key
- Weak horn
- The rest is in the review
Part 2
Good day. Today I will tell you about the details of my choice. Since, apparently, my previous review was unsuccessful. The work on the mistakes is done, now I will try to state my thoughts as clearly as possible so that you can join my reasoning and understand why my choice fell on new nissan Qashqai.
I want to say right away that I chose a car for three years, with the expectation that I will drive it. Somewhere up to 60,000 km run. Therefore, I was considering options that would go well during the first years of my service. And the fact that a car can start to crumble after 60,000-70000-80000 km was of little interest to me. Therefore, write about the fact that after 100,000 km. Qashqai will be bad - please don't. It's all right for me, whether it will be or not.
So, first, I would like to tell you about some of the things that I think are the most important. This will be done so that you can understand what I pay attention to when choosing a car. Let's start with what comes first - visual familiarity. The design of the car is responsible for this, for me it is in the first place. I believe that design is the most important thing, but of course it should be supported by many others. I decided to list some cars here so that you can understand at least approximately my taste. Here are the cars that I like design - for example,Lancer X, Infinity Fx, Bmw 3, Honda Accord, Lexus IS, Volvo S 60 old ... After reading this list, I think a lot of people have realized that I like aggressive looking cars. Therefore, the first thing I was looking for was a car that would look exactly aggressive and beautiful. Of course, I started from the amount of money available, so Cayenne andX 6 will wait. Gathering everyone in one pile (those who suit me in terms of finances), I decided to choose who I like more externally. It was the new reystaling Qashqai that became it (note that the reystaling one, and not the old one, where the suspension flies and the stove does not heat up). His appearance is what you need. It seems that this is a reduced Infiniti. SonFx "and). There are two BUTs here: the first is that in Qashqai there is a separation by color on the body. Bottom the car goes always black and if you take a car, for example in gray, it does not look very pleasant. Therefore, it was decided that I will take my favorite color - black. The second is the name. Qashqai is clearly an unfortunate name for this car. But even that didn't scare me.
Strengths:
- Appearance
- Interior and quality
- Affordable price for good bundles
- Control
- Reliability has not yet failed
Weak sides:
- Bad name
- They say a breakable variator
Review of Nissan Qashqai 2.0 (Nissan Qashqai) 2011
Good day, the moment has come when I decided to talk about my impressions after a year of car operationNissan Qashqai (Reystaling). At the moment, his mileage is 10,000 km, soon we will have to go through the first MOT.
I'll tell you briefly about myself, I'm 24 years old, driving experience 6 years. I have experience driving the following carsAudi A 4, Opel Astra, Volvo S 60, Peugeot 206, Peugeot 207 and various others, where I got behind the wheel a couple of times and drove nothing at all. At the moment, I drive very calmly, I enjoy moving around the city streets in a car.
My previous car was a Swede, originally from Belgium -Volvo S 40, 98th year of release. It was a good car, it didn’t break down much, but when it broke down, it hit the budget. I went on it for 3 years, the car is excellent in management and comfort. The appearance is very pleasant, few could immediately determine its year of release, they thought younger.
Strengths:
- Appearance
- Interior
- No crickets
- Smoothness and control
- Driving on poor surfaces
- Reliability has not failed yet
Weak sides:
- They say the variator does not run for a long time
Good day to everyone reading.
After numerous snow drifts in the month of December 2010, when it was impossible to move around the wonderful city of Kazan for two weeks, an acute desire ripened to buy something with a clearance higher than that of the Peugeot 308, tk. on the latter it is more and more difficult to move around in winter, although this is not the fault of the car, but the fault of our road workers, who, as always, were not ready for the next winter.
So the decision was made. Surprisingly, Peugeot was sold very quickly, it remained to choose what to buy. In the beginning, Toyota RAV4 was chosen as a more or less reliable and highly liquid vehicle on the secondary market. They even made a deposit, but then the dealer let down, at first they promised that the car would appear within a week, then it turned out that there were no free cars and it was possible to either get the car in three months or somehow negotiate with the managers about “speeding up the process” ... in general , a common divorce for money.
Strengths:
- Optimal set of characteristics
- Good value for money
Weak sides:
Review of Nissan Qashqai 2.0 (Nissan Qashqai) 2011
Review of the very first impressions of this car, which I own for only 5 days and drove only 250 km. Nevertheless, I will take the liberty of drawing some conclusions, as my experience allows it.
The question of buying a car arose for me quite unexpectedly, and a separate topic on this forum was devoted to his choice: http://avtomarket.ru/forum/choose/47835/
The car was bought new in a car dealership, I chose from those that were available (so I didn't really rush about color and equipment).
Strengths:
- Clearance 20 cm - practical in Russia, convenient for parking on curbs
- Gas tank - 65 liters (cruising range on the highway - 1000 km.)
- Reliable ( chain drive Timing, no supercharging), unpretentious (no problems with our "gasoline" and "oils") and economical gasoline engines 1.6 and 2.0
- VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE!!! Automatic transmission and DSG - cannot be compared (the first because of fuel consumption, the second because of reliability)
- Perfectly steers - almost like Peugeot and Citroens, comfortable but assembled suspension
- Rich equipment already in the basic version (but it is with the 1.6 engine)
- Excellent build quality, materials and design outside and inside
- Comfortable seats, excellent visibility and a good sense of size when parking
- Adequate algorithms for the operation of the light sensor (put the lighting on "auto" and forgot about it forever), the rain sensor (put on the "auto" and forgot about the wipers) and headlight washers (turn on every 5 times or forcibly with a button)
Weak sides:
- High (from 780 thousand rubles) price - in my configuration it is almost a million for a golf-class hatchback (in fact, only with high ground clearance)
- In specialized forums, there are complaints about sweating headlights on new cars - I suppose that during pre-sale in our dealerships they wash the engine compartment too diligently. When I was picking up the car, everything was washed and wet under my hood, but my headlights don't sweat
- Bonnet edge with two sharp protrusions (around the radiator grill) - when it is raised on a standard support, you can hit your head against it. I would make the support higher. The same with the trunk lid
- The front passenger's airbag on the panel is integrated - if it works, you will have to change the entire panel (and not a separate unit)
- If you need to change the lamps in the left headlight, you will have to remove the air intake pipe (this is not long, but still - a minus)
- If you need to change the plugs, you will have to remove the fuel rail. This is not long (there are a couple of bolts to unscrew and remove it to the side), but still - a minus
- It is necessary to tinker the collective farm mesh in front of the radiator - otherwise it is easy to catch a stone in it
- Dokatka instead of a full-size spare wheel
Part 3
Good to you, dear forum users!
There are a couple of minutes, I will continue my review about Qashqai 2010, Restayl. Options and stuff about the choice in previous reviews, first impressions too. Further, a small conclusion after a year of ownership and 32,000 km of run - let's start.
The car is still very pleasing to the eye and other perceptions when you approach the car and get into it. Some people still consider cars at intersections and parking lots, especially when the pre-styling Qashqai is located nearby))). Here my enthusiasm is preserved, pleases.
Strengths:
- I think that the car is quite balanced in terms of price and quality, you especially feel it when you look at the price tags of new cars in different salons and analyze the configuration
Weak sides:
As without them - but if it is eliminated by the dealer, then you can not notice it. At least from your experiences, the situation will not change - go and change
Review of Nissan Qashqai 2.0 (Nissan Qashqai) 2010
Hello everyone!
Prior to that, he drove the cars of the Russian car industry (VAZ 06, 07).
I will not bore you with the agony of my choice, I liked the car for a long time, but the managers of the AST ****** C salon played an important role, strangling me with love and actually insisting on a test drive, after which I could no longer resist. It was in February 2010, leaving the salon I asked at random when it would be released updated model Kashkaya, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that in a couple of months she would already enter the salon. So, in April 2010 I became the owner of a Nissan Qashqai (model 2010), 2 l, front-wheel drive, equipmentSE +, cherry color, having paid 1000015 rubles. With insurance, installation of an alarm, rugs came out 1000080. By the way, about the rugs. Cost about 5,000 rubles, including the trunk trough. The first emotions - lit! I had to take it at the market! - as many write. However, for all their nondescriptness (made not by troughs, but by alternating wide ribs), after the melted snow (rain), your shoes are not in a puddle of water, but on a dry surface. Everything is in size and as it should be, pleases the eye. A friend was given rugs as a gift in one of the salons. Such a g ... Pressed soot, 50 rubles. all 4 rugs. And they look the same as g ... So, by the example of a friend, I was convinced what "rugs as a gift" are.
Strengths:
- Reliability
- A sense of security
- Beautiful design
- Quality
Weak sides:
- Gasoline consumption
Good day to all!
Almost a year has passed, without a month, since the purchase of the Cat. We drove 20,000 km. In general, I want to say, GREAT car !!! Restyling has done its job, I can't say a single bad word to manufacturers in a year this car... The plastic is in place, does not creak, not a single "cricket" was found in the car. All appliances and add. functions work like a clock. Consumption 8 l / 100 km city-highway (mainly city). In winter, the car started up without problems, the first time, at -30 it warmed up, it became warm in the car in 20-25 minutes. In winter, the consumption was about 9.3 l / 100 km, taking into account the warming up for 20-30 minutes. The only thing that I didn't like in winter was just a front-wheel drive car. easily got stuck in loose snow, but getting out of it didn't really work out, but again, it was always current on its own in 15-20 minutes))
Suspension: Works EXCELLENT! Works out every hole, keeps confidently on the track.
Strengths:
- Great, modern design
- Cool cross-country ability (curbs, holes, forests)
- Excellent handling
Weak sides:
Review of Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (Nissan Qashqai) 2010 Part 2
Good day, dear members of the forum!
In the evening I decided to add new impressions of owning Qashqai. At the moment, the mileage is 24000 km, there were long trips... In general, I will try to convey it calmly.
1. Security - left 5 - not tested, all systems work, nothing is buggy. As they say, pah-pah-pah.
Strengths:
- In the city and on the highway - very a good option... And jump on the curb, and be calm on a track with poor road surface!
- Now the consumption in the city (as of May 23) on the computer is 7.2 liters 92 Benz
Weak sides:
- When listening to music at an above-average level, the door trim starts to "talk" - the official persistently sends for gluing the interior and doors, tk. I have replaced the standard head unit with DVD Pioneer. How to deal with an official in this matter - I don't know yet, maybe it's worth making a door noise ...
Review of Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (Nissan Qashqai) 2010
Good day, members of the forum!
From all sites with reviews about our iron horses, it is this site that impresses (informative, I like the interface), and I decided to leave a review here about my Kashak)).
I've been driving for about 12 years, before that I owned a domestic front-wheel drive (except for the 10th family - well, I don't like it and that's it), before Kashkai I drove for 4 years Kia Spectra (I took a new one and drove 120,000 km on it). In the spring and summer, the question arose about replacing the Spectra (I really can't say ANYTHING bad about this machine !!! Fail-safe and simple), I decided that I wanted to buy myself a high hatchback with increased ground clearance. The car was needed for rare forays into nature, confident driving along the highway (tired of slowing down on "dives" and catching the surprises of Russian roads with the front end to the belly), and so that he could jump on the curb in the city. The budget was determined at 700 tr. (without insurance), I did not consider used options.
Strengths:
- Design: new as anyone, but I like it, 5-ku
Weak sides:
- Now, when I was writing a review, I caught myself thinking that there are not so many reviews on Qashqai (restyling) - it turns out that there is nothing more to write besides positive. Now I remember, but, here - the door trim does not hold, when you make the music louder (found)))) - begins to rattle
Review of Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (Nissan Qashqai) 2010
Before Kashket, my wife operated a Tucson 2.0 l automatic transmission for 2 years. I wrote about my impressions of driving it here.
The biggest problems are the sounds from the suspension, from the road, cheap plastic and the worst - incredible fuel consumption.
Tucson in this configuration eats as much as the TLK120 with a 4-liter engine. In the city - from 16, on the highway - from 10.5. For a compact crossover, this is just waste! Since the beloved pays for gasoline herself (sometimes it happens :)), it was decided to look for something from the class of compacts of low cost, more decent than Tucson and most importantly - with moderate fuel consumption. After a two-week walk at car dealerships, they decided - Nissan Qashqai 1.6 5MKP. Naturally, I did not deny myself the pleasure of riding it for about a month in general, and am happy to provide first impressions.
Compact crossover Nissan QashqaiThe production of which began at the plant in the British Sunderland in 2007, became the first car of the brand fully developed in Europe. In Japan and Australia, the car was known by the name, and a soplatform model was sold in the American market.
The Japanese hoped to sell one hundred thousand cars a year in Europe, but the result exceeded all expectations: the demand for the car was such that the plant had to be switched from a two-shift to a three-shift operation. In total, more than two million copies of the first generation model were made. As a result, Nissan Qashqai became, in fact, the founder of a new class compact crossovers.
In Russia, "Qashqai" was offered with one of two gasoline engines - 1.6-liter (114-115 HP) or two-liter (140-141 HP) Cars were equipped with mechanical box gears or a variator, the drive could be front or full. Car prices started from 750 thousand rubles. Versions with turbodiesels 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 with a capacity of 103–150 liters. from. we did not sell them, for cars with a two-liter diesel engine a six-speed "automatic" was available.
In 2008, a seven-seater version of the Nissan Qashqai +2 appeared: in order to accommodate two additional seats, engineers had to lengthen the wheelbase (by 135 mm) and the rear overhang (by 75 mm). In 2010, the crossover was restyled - the design of the front of the car was changed, noise insulation was improved, shock absorbers were reconfigured. In this form, "Nissan Qashqai" was produced until 2013.
Nissan Qashqai car engine table
Since its inception - in October 2006 at Paris Motor Show – crossover Nissan Qashqai managed not only to create a "new subclass of cars", but also to become an absolute leader in the segment it created. Since then, the segment of "compact urban crossovers" has been developing rapidly, but its "pioneer" - Nissan Qashqai, still confidently "occupies its top lines "(by the number of copies sold).
This car at its "birth" turned out to be so successful that over time it only needed "cosmetic restyling" - which was carried out at the end of 2009, which, predictably, fueled the naturally fading interest of motorists to "Qashqai".
The appearance of this car demonstrates "confidence and pressure" - endowing it with all the "attributes" of a crossover (ie, "fashionable", but looking like a "full-fledged SUV": a high five-door body "a la hatchback"; small front and rear overhangs and plastic protection from unpainted plastic around the perimeter.
Nissan Qashqai, of course, has already become familiar with russian roadsbut never ceases to delight with its “simple unisex design”. Front lighting equipment with "rectangular" headlamps is located at the extreme points of the body, a powerful bumper with a lower additional air intake is composed of two parts (the upper one is painted in body color and harmoniously contrasts with the lower one - in a crossover way made of unpainted plastic and beautiful "eyes" for foglights) ... The false radiator grille is covered with an openwork mesh and bears a chrome insert with the Nissan logo. The hood with two characteristic ribs, heavily "overwhelmed" front body pillars, an almost flat roofline, lean stern ... Profile - with harmonious sidewalls, "circular" wheel arches (accommodating discs R16-R18) and a high sill line. The roof line and the glazing line soaring upwards - "form" a powerful C-pillar, giving the stern of this crossover a special solidity.
Well, the back of the "Qashqai" - with big door luggage compartment, neat shades side lights with fashionable lED lamps, bumper (protected by plastic - like a "serious SUV".
The dimensions of the 1st generation "Kashkaya" are: length - 4330 mm, width - 1780 mm, height - 1615 mm, wheelbase - 2630 mm, ground clearance - 200 mm.
Inside, the Nissan Qashqai showcases a simple and functional cabin for five passengers. By the way, for those for whom “five seats are not enough” there is a seven-seat version called “Qashqai + 2” (a separate review is devoted to it).
The three-spoke steering wheel fits perfectly in the hands, steering column adjustable in height and depth. Informative instruments with a large TFT monitor of the on-board computer, a front dashboard and a center console with simple lines and a classic arrangement of controls. The front seats are designed for a quiet ride (not a sporty profile) with a soft cushion, but thanks to a good range of adjustments, they allow the driver and passenger to sit comfortably. In the second row, there is enough space for passengers of average build (there is enough legroom, the ceiling is high, it is comfortable to sit).
The trunk allows you to transport from 410 to 1513 liters, depending on the "layout" of the rear seats.
Specifications. In Russia, Nissan Qashqai is offered with gasoline units: 1.6 l. (114 hp) with 5 manual gearboxes; 1.6 l. (117 hp) with CVT and 2.0 liters. (141 hp) with 6 manual gearbox or CVT variator.
Nissan Qashqai 1.6 is a priori front-wheel drive, the version with a 2.0-liter engine can have front-wheel drive (2WD) or full (4WD) with Nissan's proprietary ALL MODE 4X4 system.
The front suspension is independent - MacPherson struts, the rear multi-link is also independent. Disc brakes with ABC, Brake Assist and EBD, with a system eSP stabilization, steering with electric booster.
In terms of driving performance - Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (114 hp / 117 hp) 2WD - a typical front-wheel drive hatchback with energy-intensive and loyal to the bad road surface suspension. The impression is somewhat spoiled by the "artificiality" of the steering (without sharpness and intelligible feedback), and the engine power is sometimes not enough ... But the Nissan Qashqai 2.0 (141 hp) with the ALL MODE 4X4 all-wheel drive system is already much more interesting and exciting - thanks to the settings, this car can be "forced" four-wheel drive (copes with small off-road) or with an automatically connected rear axle when the leading front wheels slip (on a slippery winter road, a good helper).
Prices and equipment. In terms of the number of trim levels on the Russian market, the Nissan Qashqai ranks first among compact crossovers in 2013 (although Nissan representatives themselves often refer to it as a “hatchback of the European C-class”).
Already in the initial configuration for russian market Nissan Qashqai 2013 has: air conditioning, 2 DIN radio with CD MP3 AUX and bluetooth and 4 speakers, heated electric mirrors, 4 power windows, heated front seats, on-board computer, aBS systems and ESP, 6 airbags. And the most "packed" equipment boasts: dual-zone climate control, music from Bose, an all-round camera with a 5-inch color display and Nissan Connect system, cruise control, xenon, panoramic glass roof, keyless entry, rain and light sensors ... and other "chips".
The price for Nissan Qashqai from Russian dealers starts at 806,000 rubles for a complete set of XE (2WD 1.6-114 hp with 5 manual gearboxes). The cost of Kashkaya XE with a CVT (2WD 1.6-117 hp) is 861,000 rubles. The most affordable all-wheel drive Nissan Qashqai is offered at a price of 986,000 rubles (4WD 2.0-141 hp with 6 manual gearboxes), and "replacing" the manual transmission with a variator will increase its cost by 55,000 rubles. In the next configuration - SE (which is 60,000 rubles more expensive than XE) added: rain sensor, climate control, 16 ″ alloy wheels and cruise control. In the SV configuration for an additional 50 thousand rubles, you can get a lot of "decorations": 18 "alloy wheels, aluminum pedals, tinting rear windows, roof rails and panoramic roof... The prefix "+" adds to the equipment of Kashkai: already 6 speakers, a rear-view camera with a color display and a multifunctional nissan system Connect, and the price increases by 26,000 rubles. Also in 2013, a special configuration "Qashqai 360" is offered.
For the first time, the Nissan-Qashqai crossover was presented to the public in October 2006 at the Paris Auto Show. And despite the fact that by this time global manufacturers had already managed to occupy a niche with their new products, "Qashqai" confidently debuted and was recognized as one of the most best cars in its class. The first generation of the "Japanese" was so successful that in 2009 he only needed a cosmetic restyling. Well, let's look at how it gained such popularity in the global market small crossover "Nissan Qashqai".
Owner reviews and review external appearance
The designers have endowed the novelty with a rather energetic appearance. In front, the crossover shows us a powerful shock bumper with an unusual air intake design (visually, it is divided into 2 parts). The main optics of a rectangular shape are placed on the sides, and between them there is an openwork with a chrome 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 a design for a real SUV. However, its main element is the city. Therefore, comfort should not be in the last place here.
"Nissan-Qashqai": reviews of the owners about the interior
The car interior surprises with its spaciousness and functionality. The car can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people, including the driver. By the way, for large families the company has provided a separate modification "Qashqai + 2". It can accommodate 2 more people. The driver is provided with a comfortable 3-spoke steering wheel, an adjustable column and a lot of electronics. Among the main auxiliary systems, it is worth noting the presence with a TFT monitor, which is equipped with all the configurations of the Nissan-Qashqai crossovers (you can see the photo of the front panel just below).
As for the seats, the manufacturer did not decide to emphasize rigidity and sportiness, as the Japanese did with last generation 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.
