Specifications nissan qashqai. Nissan Qashqai: description, technical characteristics, modifications. The history of the creation of Nissan Qashqai

Since its appearance - in October 2006 at the Paris Motor Show - crossover Nissan Qashqai managed not only to create a “new subclass of cars”, but also to become the absolute leader in the segment he 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 a “cosmetic restyling” - which was carried out at the end of 2009, which, predictably, warmed up the naturally fading interest of motorists in Qashqai.

The appearance of this car demonstrates "confidence and pressure" - endowing it with all the "attributes" of a crossover (i.e. "fashionable", but looking like a "full off-road vehicle": a high five-door "a la hatchback" body; small front and rear overhangs and plastic protection from unpainted plastic around the perimeter.

Nissan Qashqai, of course, has already become familiar on Russian roads, but never ceases to please with its "simple unisex design". The front lighting equipment with “rectangular” block headlights is located at the extreme points of the body, a powerful bumper with an additional lower 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 made of unpainted plastic and beautiful “eyes” of foglights) . The false radiator grille is covered with an openwork mesh and bears a chrome insert with the Nissan logo. A hood with two characteristic ribs, heavily "littered" A-pillars, an almost flat roof line, roasting the feed ... Profile - with harmonious sidewalls, "circular" wheel arches (accommodating R16-R18 wheels) and a high window sill line. The roof line and the glazing line soaring upwards “form” a powerful rear pillar, giving the stern of this crossover a special solidity.

Well, the back of the "Qashqai" - with a large door luggage compartment, neat plafonds of side lights with fashionable LED lamps, a bumper (protected plastic - like a “serious SUV”.

The dimensions of the Qashqai 1st generation 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 on-board computer, front dashboard and 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 comfortably accommodate. 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 carry 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 liters. (114 hp) with 5 manual gearboxes; 1.6 l. (117 HP) with CVT and 2.0L. (141 hp) with 6 manual gearboxes or CVT variator.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 is a priori front-wheel drive, a version with a 2.0-liter engine may have front-wheel drive(2WD) or full (4WD) with Nissan's proprietary ALL MODE 4X4 system.

The front suspension is independent - MacPherson struts, and the rear is also multi-link independent. Disc brakes with ABC, Brake Assist and EBD, with ESP stabilization system, steering with electric booster.

In terms of driving performance, the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (114 hp / 117 hp) 2WD is a typical front-wheel drive hatchback with an energy-intensive suspension that is loyal to poor road surfaces. The “artificiality” of the steering somewhat spoils the impression (without sharpness and intelligible feedback), and sometimes the engine power is not enough ... But the Nissan Qashqai 2.0 (141 hp) with the system all-wheel drive ALL MODE 4X4 is already much more interesting and exciting - thanks to the settings, this car can be with “forced” all-wheel drive (it copes with slight off-road) or with an automatically connected rear axle when the front wheels slip (a good helper on a slippery winter road).

Prices and equipment. According to the number of proposed configurations for Russian market Nissan Qashqai in 2013 takes first place among compact crossovers (although the representatives of "Nissan" often refer to it as a "European C-class hatchback").
Already in the initial configuration for the Russian market Nissan Qashqai 2013 has: air conditioning, 2 DIN radio with CD MP3 AUX and bluetooth and 4 speakers, heated electric mirrors, 4 electric windows, heated front seats, on-board computer, ABS systems and ESP, 6 airbags. And the most “packaged” equipment boasts: dual-zone climate control, music from Bose, a surround view camera with a 5-inch color display and Nissan Connect system, cruise control, xenon, a panoramic glass roof, keyless entry, rain and light sensors ... and other "chips".
The price of Nissan Qashqai for Russian dealers starts at 806,000 rubles for the XE package (2WD 1.6-114 hp with 5 manual gearboxes). The cost of Qashqai 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” a manual transmission with a CVT will increase its cost by 55,000 rubles. In the next configuration - SE (which is 60,000 rubles more expensive than XE) added: a 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, tinted rear windows, roof rails and a panoramic roof. The prefix “+” adds to the Qashqai equipment: already 6 speakers, a rear-view camera with a color display and the Nissan Connect multifunctional system, and increases the price by 26,000 rubles. Also in 2013, a special package "Qashqai 360" is offered.

The Japanese brand Nissan has always had a lot of fans, but the brand's models made their way to the conservative European market with difficulty. Seeing the success of Toyota Rav4, Nissan decided to make the model no less successful. And they succeeded, at least in the Russian market.

Nissan Qashqai is a bestseller of the domestic market. It went on sale in 2006 and was accepted with a bang. The Japanese managed to make a typical European car, by the way, they developed it in Europe (in England). When creating the model, a technology similar to the development of Ford was used - computer-aided design, which allows for fewer real tests of certain elements. The name of the car was in the wake of the Tuareg, in honor of the nomadic tribes of Asia. According to the engineers, Nissan Qashqai was created for the city, but a large margin of safety was laid in it, so that it would not give up on impassable roads. For a strong body and a sufficient set of active and passive safety equipment, Qashqai received 5 stars in European crash tests.

First generation car from 2006 to 2010

As befits a city car, the first generation of the crossover is not large, and here is the Nissan Qashqai specifications has the following:

• length 4310 mm
• width 1780 mm
• height 1610 mm
• ground clearance 180 mm
• wheelbase 2630 mm
• luggage compartment volume from 352 to 1513 l
• tank volume 65 l
• unladen weight 1410 kg
• gross weight 1930 kg.

According to the calculations of Japanese engineers, these proportions are ideal for an urban crossover. And most of the competitors initially took the dimensions of Qashqai as reference. But in order to cover those buyers who want a slightly larger car, an elongated modification was made, called the Qashqai + 2, it had the following dimensions:

• length 4525 mm
• width 1783 mm
• height 1645 mm
• ground clearance 200 mm
• wheelbase 2765 mm
• luggage compartment volume from 352 to 1520 l
• tank volume 65 l
• unladen weight 1317 kg
• gross weight 1830 kg.

Four power units were installed on the first generation:

• 1.5 liter diesel engine with 105 hp developed an impressive 240 Nm of thrust and was very economical: consumption in the city was 6.2 liters, and on the highway 5 liters. But the dynamics was very mediocre - 12.2 seconds to 100 km / h. Gearbox - 6-speed manual. It was not installed on Qashqai + 2.
• gasoline unit volume of 1.6 liters with a capacity of 115 hp, with a torque of 156 Nm. Such an engine worked only with a 5-speed manual. Like the base diesel, this initial gasoline engine runs without a spark, and accelerates reluctantly - in 12 seconds to 100 km / h, while consuming 8.4 liters.
• 2.0 diesel with 150 hp and 320 Nm of torque. Before the base one and a half liter diesel engine, it did not stand out with special dynamics - 12 s to 100 km / h, but was more “gluttonous”, on average by 15%. But it was this unit that was equipped with all-wheel drive and a classic 6-speed automatic, so there was always a demand for it.
• 2.0 top gasoline engine, which accounted for 70% of sales. Power 141 hp, torque 198 Nm, consumption up to 100 km / h in 10.1 s. Fuel consumption is only 10.7 liters in the city and 6.6 liters on the highway. A car with such an engine could be bought both with mechanics and with a variator.
• Only gasoline units with a capacity of 1.6 and 2.0 liters were supplied to Russia. The most popular was the 2-liter version, which was unpretentious in terms of fuel quality.

Second generation car since 2010

In 2010, the facelift of the model took place. Representatives of Nissan traditionally listen to the opinion of Russian buyers, so the delegation from Japan was the first to visit our country and get acquainted with the opinion of our compatriots.

Technical characteristics of Nissan Qashqai after the update:

• length 4330 mm
• width 1780 mm
• height 1615 mm
• ground clearance 200 mm
• wheelbase 2630 mm
• luggage compartment volume from 400 to 1513 l
• tank volume 65 l
• unladen weight 1298 kg
• gross weight 1830 kg.

The platform of the model has remained the same, and the wheelbase has not changed. But Qashqai grew in length by 30 mm, became 20 mm higher from the ground and at the same time became lighter by a whole centner. External changes have affected mainly the front part, where a new, more aggressive head lighting technology is now installed, the shape of the hood, fenders and radiator grille has been redesigned. Since there were no complaints about Qashqai's handling, the developers improved the sound insulation and slightly changed the suspension settings.

Qashqai + 2 has also changed and has the following dimensions:

• length 4541 mm
• width 1780 mm
• height 1645 mm
• ground clearance 200 mm
• wheelbase 2765 mm
• luggage compartment volume from 130 to 1513 l
• tank volume 65 l
• unladen weight 1404 kg
• gross weight 2078 kg.

Compare the technical characteristics of the elongated Nissan Qashqai: the ground clearance increased by 2 cm, which, according to the owners, made it much easier to get off the ground, as well as to move along a snowy road. Thanks to the modified shape of the bumper, Qashqai no longer scoops up snow, but sends it under the bottom of the car. Another of the innovations of the Qashqai + 2 version is the ability to install a third row of seats.

The second generation completely lost diesel units, now only two gasoline units are available to customers to choose from:

• 1.6 l with a capacity of 114 and 117 hp torque of 156 and 158 Nm. Both engines differed in a gearbox, the younger version was aggregated only by mechanics, and the older one by a variator. Dynamics on the mechanics - 11.8 s to 100 km / h, on the variator - 13 s.
• 2.0 with 141 hp - migrated unchanged from the first generation. On it, as before, mechanics (6 steps) and a variator were installed.

Four-wheel drive

The all-wheel drive system for Nissan crossovers is the same regardless of model. It has a classic formula - a front-wheel drive car with an electronically connected rear-wheel drive. But unlike most competitors, the Qashqai driver can control the drive using the Lock key, which closes the all-wheel drive clutch and the car becomes forcibly all-wheel drive.

If you give everything at the mercy of electronics, then 0.1 seconds from the moment the slip starts is enough to connect rear wheels. The mass of the Qashqai all-wheel drive is 70 kg. On the leading 4 wheels, Qashqai can only move up to 40 km / h, after which the all-wheel drive is turned off.

It is also worth noting that the Qashqai + 2 version with its 7-seater salon is cheaper than any other analogue, by about 100 thousand rubles.

The next update is just around the corner. It is expected that the new model will have a different platform and get engines with a turbine.

This car can be called with full confidence one of the most successful crossovers on the market, so it occupies the first lines in sales in Russia and abroad. Today we’ll talk about the technical characteristics of a stylish and modern car Nissan Qashqai (J11). A compact crossover with a sleek design stands out in city traffic, while impressive elevation and all-wheel drive give confidence both in the city and in the forest.

A bit of history

The Nissan Qashqai was created to fill the increasingly popular niche of compact crossovers. The best Japanese and American designers worked on the novelty. The project was made in the British design office using digital modeling, and the car received the final look in the London design department. The new Qashqai has undergone many changes since then, but the overall concept and style of the car have remained unchanged. The differences in appearance are shown in the two photos below:

Sales of Qashqai began in 2007. Today, with great success, the updated version of the crossover in 2016 is being implemented, which has already received the Car of the Year 2016 award. Appreciated the novelty in Russia at its true worth. When the crossover appeared on the market in 2007, the cost of the front-wheel drive version was at the level of C-class cars. The latest Qashqai updates were announced in 2017. They touched appearance and electronics. The size of the Nissan Qashqai disks has also changed upwards.

Since 2015, the crossover has been produced in Russia. The plant is located in St. Petersburg. The main thing that changed in Qashqai at the beginning of production at the new plant is borrowed from Nissan X-Trail front and rear subframes. Such changes made it possible to expand the track and increase ground clearance up to 200 mm. In addition, all versions of the car for Russia are equipped with a full-size spare wheel. Sales to date in Russia have exceeded 260,000 copies, and worldwide have gone beyond 3.3 million.

Model name

A creative approach in choosing a name led to the ancient nomadic tribes of the Qashqai, who still live on the territory of modern Iran. This idea has already been used by the Volkswagen company, calling its car Tuareg (this is the name of the tribe of Indians North America). In Russia, Qashqais are often called "cats", and the Japanese version of the crossover (right-hand drive) is sold with the Dualis nameplate.

Description of Qashqai": dimensions and updates

This generation of the crossover that has gained popularity can be safely called the standard in the field of ergonomics, comfort, safety and style. Body dimensions "Qashqai" received new ones. The swift curves of the body and the high line of the hood speak of the power hidden inside. The use of LED elements and the lines extending from the front bumper to the rear indicate that this is a car that keeps up with the times.

The appearance of updated optics helped to rejuvenate the front and rear fenders. side mirrors also changed their appearance a little, and the expansion of the color gamut towards bright shades is designed to attract a younger audience.

Start of sales in Russia

The start date of sales in Russia is hidden in every possible way. But it is already clear that this event will take place towards the end of 2018 or at the very beginning of 2019. official dealers it is not yet possible, but booklets of the updated Qashqai have already appeared on the information boards of car dealerships. This indicates the imminent appearance of the long-awaited crossover on sale.

Qashqai- compact crossover combining best qualities traditional family hatchback and the capabilities of a compact SUV. This strong, hardy and agile car was created specifically for the city. High ground clearance and all-wheel drive are an indisputable advantage in modern urban conditions. Qashqai already offers the consumer a little more than the usual compact class.

The model was created from scratch to fill the next market niche, where the ball is already ruled Dodge Caliber and Suzuki SX-4. Neat, impeccably calibrated, but extremely restrained Qashqai is the first truly European Nissan. It was designed at the English technical center Nissan NTCE in Cranfield, found its final shape in a London design studio and is produced on the assembly line of the plant in Sunderland.

The Qashqai is the first Nissan to be completely digitally designed. Of course, digital calculations were confirmed by real experiments, but the number of "live" tests was reduced significantly.

Creative marketers approached the name of the car. It sounds strange only to the Russian ear, but also to the European. The name "Qashqai" is taken from the name of an ancient Iranian nomadic tribe living in Iran to this day. By the way, naming a car in honor of nomadic tribes is not a new idea, the first in this was Volkswagen with the off-road Tuareg. In Japan, the model is sold under the name Dualis.

Qashqai received from the designers a long hood, a strongly sloping roof line, a massive bottom of the body, a protective body kit, a relief window sill line and an impressive ground clearance of 20 cm. The front air intake and false radiator grill visually make the Qashqai wider. A large air intake lends a sporty touch, while a massive rear bumper evokes a feeling of safety and security.

The salon is quite large, with a margin of space above the head and in the elbows, but without shocking. The designers tried to combine the atmosphere of a spacious family car and the mood of the pilot's cockpit, where the defining word is "control". So there was a division into a working area for the driver and a recreation area for passengers. The instrument panel is designed so that many function buttons are concentrated around the center of the steering wheel. Finishing materials are selected with taste and invention. Black and chocolate front panel, combined seat fabrics, texture of leather and plastics - everything worked out not only visually, but also to the touch.

In Europe, the car is available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, as well as with four engine options - two petrol (1.6 liters / 115 hp and 2.0 lire / 140 hp) and two diesel (1.5 liters /106 hp and 2.0 TD/150 hp). If the 1.6 engine is equipped only with mechanics and front-wheel drive, then for 2.0 any combination of mono- and all-wheel drive is possible, mechanical box and variator.

The manufacturer offers a wide range of accessories. European versions are optionally equipped with a glass roof and built-in high-quality navigation. Qashqai has four trim levels: Visia, Acenta, Tekna and Tekna Pack.

Separate words deserve the fact that Qashqai won the maximum number of stars - five - in the Euro NCAP tests for such an indicator as the protection of adult passengers. This is the highest score ever achieved by a tested vehicle in the program's history. At the same time, Qashqai received the highest scores in both tests: in frontal and side collisions, as well as the maximum number of points for the reminder system about not wearing seat belts. The car also achieved a high score of four stars in child protection tests. In short, Qashqai is one of the safest cars on the road.

The world saw the new generation of the Qashqai model in early November 2013. In December, the car has already begun to be manufactured on the conveyors of the British plant. For Russian motorists, the crossover is assembled in St. Petersburg. Interestingly, the Japanese abandoned the 7-seater version of the +2 crossover. This decision was motivated simply: studies have confirmed that such cars were bought not for the sake of additional seats, but because of the increased volume of the trunk. So the second generation Qashqai is available exclusively with a 5-seat interior.

The Japanese made the main bet in the new generation on appearance. The rustic exterior of the previous generation has given way to an austere modern look. The front optics merged in an aggressive smile with the radiator grille, the bumper received a lot of curved lines and holes, the rear part has completely changed. The body is 47mm longer, 20mm wider and 15mm lower than its predecessor.

Qashqai 2014 has exclusive curtains in the grille. They are curtained with increasing speed and regulate the air flow. In case of overheating, the automation works and the curtains open, cooling the overheated parts.

The salon has changed noticeably: modern design, restrained classic colors, high-quality finishing materials. A lot of work has been done by engineers to improve ergonomics. Buttons and switches are conveniently located, the instrument panel readings are perfectly readable. Worked even imperceptible at first glance little things. For example, the designers took care of such a parameter as the depth of the cup holders - now you can put a half-liter bottle in them so that it does not interfere with the driver's elbow. The seats were designed using the aerospace industry for a comfortable fit and improved blood flow to the lower back. The layout of the rear part has been significantly changed, as a result of which space on the rear sofa has increased in all directions, and the capacity of the cargo compartment has increased by 20 liters.

The screen of the multimedia system has moved from above to the front of the center console and has received many more functions. The multimedia system now not only plays music from different media and shows a navigation map, but also works with online applications. While in Nissan system Connect only has a Facebook client, Google search and Trip Advisor. But company representatives promise that the number of available programs will grow.

The electric power steering received two modes - traditional and sporty, when enhanced driver work is required. The numerous electronic systems: automatic valet, lane crossing control systems, blind spot monitoring, all-round cameras, etc.

As the base unit for Qashqai 2014, a 1.2-liter DIG-T petrol turbo four with a capacity of 115 Horse power. The undoubted advantage of this engine is low fuel consumption: according to the manufacturer, in the combined cycle, the appetite of this engine is only 5.6 liters per "hundred". For lovers of dynamic driving in the engine lineup there is a 2-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 141 horsepower. But only one diesel is offered - a 1.6-liter 130-horsepower.

New in Qashqai 2014 is the body vibration control system, thanks to which the car monitors the condition of the road surface, its waves. Feeling them, the electronics regulates the operation of the engine and brakes automatically.

In top trim levels and for an extra charge, the car is equipped with a video review system. Electronics also monitors blind spots in order to prevent an unexpected collision. And modern LED headlights automatically switch to the desired light.

Second Nissan generation Qashqai turned out to be more complete, stylish and of high quality.

The Nissan Qashqai is a front- or all-wheel drive SUV in the compact segment that combines stylish design, practical interior and modern technical components, which (according to the automaker itself) combines the capabilities of a compact SUV with the best qualities of a family hatchback ... It is addressed, first of all, to city ​​dwellers (regardless of age and gender), who are not used to limiting themselves to any strict limits ...

At one time, the “first Qashqai” became a pioneer, opening up the segment of compact urban crossovers to the world. Since then, many years have passed and numerous competitors have appeared on the market, with whom you can no longer compete with “old yeast”. As a result, the world has witnessed the emergence of the second generation Qashqai, which was first introduced in November 2013 in London, and made its full-scale debut in January 2014 at the motor show in Brussels.

There were no global changes in the appearance of Qashqai during the transition to a new generation. The crossover has retained the recognizable outlines of the body, but has become noticeably more modern, more dynamic and sportier.

Well, one of the main premieres of the Geneva Motor Show, which took place in March 2017, was the second generation Nissan Qashqai, which survived restyling. When updating the "European pet", the Japanese focused on the design of the exterior, improving the quality of the interior, improving handling and introducing an autopilot.

In October 2018, the Japanese again modernized the five-door, but this time they limited themselves to a revision of the power range - the car received a new “turbo four” 1.3 DIG-T, which replaced both previous gasoline engines and is available in three boost options, as well as robotic box gears instead of a continuously variable variator. True, all these changes are not for Russia.

Outwardly, Qashqai is a real handsome man, he is equally swift, fresh and harmonious, from whichever side you look. But the full face of the car is also quite monumental - the credit for this belongs to the complex outlines in the corporate style "V-motion" with "boomerangs" running lights in the headlights and "curly" bumper.

The wedge-shaped silhouette of the crossover attracts the attention of the famously “soaring” window sill line, embossed “folds” on the sides and a sloping roof, which makes it light and sporty, and the lean rear “flaunts” spectacular lights with the same “boomerangs” and a bumper with overlays “under metal".

The length of the "second" Nissan Qashqai is 4377 mm, the length of the wheelbase is 2646 mm, the width fits into the framework of 1806 mm, and the height reaches 1590 mm. The crossover ground clearance is 200 mm, and its curb weight ranges from 1373 to 1528 kg, depending on the type of engine and equipment level.

In Qashqai, there is a good balance between ergonomics and quality, besides, the interior looks quite European, and the abundance of large forms in it creates the illusion of a more expensive product. A cool multifunctional steering wheel with a rim truncated at the bottom, clear instruments with an advanced on-board computer, an elegant center console with a color screen of a multimedia complex and an extremely understandable “microclimate” unit - inside the SUV is beautiful, modern and neat.

The five-seater interior of this car, although it does not differ in unlimited spaciousness, is able to provide a sufficient supply of space not only for the front, but also for rear passengers. Particularly noteworthy are the front seats with well-defined, almost sporty lateral support, which do not allow your back to get tired even during long trips. On the second row, a not very comfortable sofa is installed - with a flat profile, a thick pillow and an overly hard filler.

In the arsenal of the second generation Nissan Qashqai there is a trunk with a volume of 430 liters, which has an additional niche for a spare tire. If you fold the second row of seats, then the useful volume of the cargo compartment will increase to 1585 liters, and at the same time you will get a completely flat floor.

On the Russian market, the second generation of Qashqai is presented with three power plant options:

• The role of the junior (base) engine is assigned to a turbocharged gasoline 4-cylinder unit DIG-T 115 with a modest displacement of 1.2 liters (1197 cm³). Equipped with a system direct injection fuel, this engine develops no more than 115 horsepower at 4500 rpm, and is also capable of delivering up to 190 Nm of torque already at 2000 rpm.
  As a gearbox for the “junior” unit, a 6-speed “mechanics” or a continuously variable variator are offered, as a result of which the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 10.9-12.9 seconds, reaching a speed threshold of 173-185 km / h (in favor of "pens").
  As for fuel consumption, in urban traffic jams, the crossover eats up about 6.6-7.8 liters, on the highway it is limited to 5.1-5.3 liters, and in mixed driving mode it requires no more than 5.6-6.2 liters per 100 km.
• The second gasoline engine for the “second Qashqai” is an in-line aspirated four-cylinder with a total displacement of 2.0 liters (1997 cm³) and direct injection. Maximum power is limited to 144 "horses" at 6000 rpm, and the peak torque rests on the mark of 200 Nm, developed at 4400 rpm.
  For this engine, Nissan’s offer the same gearboxes as for the previous version, but an all-wheel drive transmission is also docked with the CVT. In the case of the “mechanics”, the SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 9.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 194 km / h and consuming an average of about 7.7 liters of gasoline in a mixed driving mode.
  The starting acceleration to “hundreds” of the “automatic” car is 10.1-10.5 seconds, peak capabilities do not exceed 184 km / h, and the fuel “appetite” varies from 6.9 to 7.3 liters.
• The only diesel here is the "dCi 130", which has at its disposal 4 in-line cylinders with a total displacement of 1.6 liters (1598 cm³) and a direct fuel injection system. Its peak power falls at around 130 “horses”, achieved at 4000 rpm, and the upper limit of torque at 1750 rpm rests on 320 Nm.
  Such an engine works in conjunction with a CVT and front-wheel drive, which allows the five-door to gain the first 100 km / h in 11.1 seconds, exchanges 183 km / h as much as possible and “drinks” no more than 4.9 liters in the combined cycle.

Nissan Qashqai 2nd generation is the first car released on the basis of the new CMF (Common Module Family) modular platform. The crossover has a front independent suspension based on MacPherson struts, supplemented with a stabilizer roll stability, as well as a rear multi-link system. All wheels have disc brakes, while the front wheels are ventilated. The rack and pinion steering mechanism of the "Japanese" is supplemented by an electric power steering with a sports driving function.

The off-road vehicle is offered to buyers in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. In the second case, the SUV boasts an All Mode 4 × 4 transmission with an electromagnetic clutch in the rear wheel drive and several “driving” algorithms: “2WD”, “Auto” and “Lock”. In the "Lock" mode, the moment is distributed between the axles "brotherly" forcibly, and the clutch itself remains locked up to 80 km / h.

The restyled Nissan Qashqai of the second generation is offered on the Russian market exclusively with gasoline engines(the turbodiesel was removed from its power range) in ten equipment options to choose from - “XE”, “SE”, “SE Yandex”, “SE +”, “QE”, “QE Yandex”, “QE +”, “LE”, “ LE+" and "LE Top".

A crossover in the initial configuration with a 1.2-liter turbo engine and a 6-speed manual transmission will cost from 1,290,000 rubles, and with a 2.0-liter "aspirated" and a "manual" gearbox - from 1,423,000 rubles (the surcharge for the variator in both cases is 61,000 rubles). For an all-wheel drive modification, you will have to pay a minimum of 1,576,000 rubles.

By default, the five-door boasts: six airbags, an ERA-GLONASS system, ABS, EBD, ESP, hill start assist technology, heated windshield and front seats, power windows for all doors, an audio system with six speakers, 16-inch steel wheels ( on 2.0-liter versions - 17-inch alloy), air conditioning, cruise, leather-trimmed steering wheel and some other equipment.

The “top-end” modification with a 2.0-liter unit, CVT and front-wheel drive costs from 1,878,000 rubles, while the all-wheel drive version cannot be bought for less than 1,970,000 rubles.

Such a car has in its arsenal: dual-zone climate control, 19-inch wheels, leather trim, a media center with a 7-inch screen, all-round cameras, full LED optics, panoramic roof, electric front seats, heated steering wheel and rear sofa, sensors light and rain, blind spot monitoring, auto braking, driver fatigue control and a bunch of other "bells and whistles".
