"Nissan Qashqai": dimensions, dimensions and technical characteristics. Nissan Qashqai: description, specifications, modifications Nissan qashqai description

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

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

The first generation of the car from 2006 to 2010

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

length 4310 mm
width 1780 mm
height 1610 mm
clearance 180 mm
wheelbase 2630 mm
luggage compartment volume from 352 to 1513 liters
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 Kashkai sizes as the reference ones. But in order to cover those buyers who want a car slightly bigger size an elongated modification was made, called Qashqai + 2, it had dimensions:

length 4525 mm
width 1783 mm
height 1645 mm
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:

diesel engine with a volume of 1.5 liters and 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 were quite mediocre - 12.2 seconds to 100 km / h. Transmission - 6-speed mechanics. It was not installed on Qashqai + 2.
gasoline unit with a volume of 1.6 liters, 115 hp, with a torque of 156 Nm. Such an engine worked only with a 5-speed mechanics. Like the base diesel, this initial gasoline engine runs without a spark, and reluctantly accelerates - in 12 seconds to 100 km / h, while consuming 8.4 liters.
2.0 diesel with a capacity of 150 HP, with a torque of 320 Nm. In front of the base 1.5-liter diesel engine, it did not stand out with special dynamics - 12 s to 100 km / h, but was more "voracious", on average by 15%. But it was this unit that was equipped with all-wheel drive and classic machine on 6 steps, so there was always a demand for it.
2.0 top-end 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 of the car since 2010

In 2010, the model was facelifted. 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.

Specifications Nissan Qashqai after the update:

length 4330 mm
width 1780 mm
height 1615 mm
clearance 200 mm
wheelbase 2630 mm
luggage compartment volume from 400 to 1513 liters
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 mainly affected the front end, where new, more aggressive headlights are now installed, the shape of the hood, fenders and radiator grille has been redesigned. Since there were no complaints about Kashkai's handling, the developers improved noise isolation 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
clearance 200 mm
wheelbase 2765 mm
luggage compartment volume from 130 to 1513 liters
tank volume 65 l
unladen weight 1404 kg
gross weight 2078 kg.

Let's compare the technical characteristics of the elongated Nissan Qashqai: the ground clearance increased by 2 cm, which, according to the owners, significantly facilitated the road trips, as well as movement on snowy road... Thanks to the changed shape of the bumper, the Qashqai no longer shovels snow, but sends it under the bottom of the car. Another innovation of the Qashqai + 2 version is the ability to install a third row of seats.

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

1.6 liters with 114 and 117 hp. torque of 156 and 158 Nm. Both engines differed in the gearbox, the younger version was aggregated only by mechanics, and the older version was 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. Mechanics (6 steps) and a variator were installed on it, as before.

Four-wheel drive

The all-wheel drive system for Nissan crossovers is the same regardless of the model. It has the classic formula - a front-wheel drive car with plug-in electronics rear wheel drive... But unlike most competitors, the driver of Kashkai can control the drive by means of the Lock key, which closes the all-wheel drive clutch and the car becomes forced to all-wheel drive.

If you leave everything at the mercy of electronics, then just 0.1 seconds from the moment the slip begins to connect the rear wheels. The weight of the all-wheel drive Kashkaya is 70 kg. On driving 4 wheels, Qashqai can only move up to 40 km / h, after four-wheel drive turns off.

Conclusion

Nissan Qashqai made a name for itself when the main competitors were in the prototype stage. For the Russian market, it is a bestseller and is sold in the amount of 35 thousand units per year, all this thanks to its balanced technical characteristics, efficient all-wheel drive and a reasonable price. It is also worth noting that the Qashqai + 2 version with its 7-seater saloon is cheaper than any other analogue, by about 100 thousand rubles.

Another update is just around the corner, with the new model expected to have a different platform and turbine engines.

Crossover (body J11) is offered on the Russian market with three power plants: turbocharged petrol engine 1.2 DIG-T (115 hp, 190 Nm), petrol "aspirated" 2.0 (144 hp, 200 Nm) and 1.6 dCi turbodiesel (130 hp, 320 Nm). Two of the three specified units are also installed under the hood of the partner lineup-. The petrol "turbo four" 1.2 DIG-T was previously installed mainly on cars Renault, and Qashqai became almost the first of the crossovers who received this small, but very nimble engine at their disposal. It is aggregated with a 6-speed mechanical box or an Xtronic variator. The same two types of transmissions are available for the 2.0-liter engine. The diesel version of the Nissan Qashqai is equipped with a CVT only.

The use of a modular CMF platform with a high content of high-strength steels as a base allowed a lightweight body resting on a front independent suspension with MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link structure. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are available. A plug-in all-wheel drive system with an electromagnetic interaxle clutch installed in front of the gearbox rear axle, is equipped only with the Nissan Qashqai 2.0 modification.

The average fuel consumption of a SUV with a 1.2 DIG-T turbo engine, according to the passport data, does not exceed 6.2 l / 100 km. A crossover with a 2.0-liter engine consumes a little more - about 6.9-7.7 liters, depending on the modification. Diesel Nissan Qashqai is highly fuel efficient, consuming about 4.9 liters of diesel fuel in the combined cycle.

Overall dimensions Nissan Qashqai

The J11 crossover has slightly increased in size relative to its predecessor. The vehicle is 4377 mm long and 1806 mm wide (excluding mirrors). Only the height of the crossover has decreased, now it is equal to 1595 mm.

Nissan Qashqai J11 engines

HRA2DDT 1.2 DIG-T 115 HP

The four-cylinder petrol turbo 1.2 DIG-T, developed by Renault, replaced the 1.6-liter "aspirated". The power unit with the H5FT index is equipped with an aluminum cylinder block, direct fuel injection, a timing chain drive, and a variable valve timing system at the intake. Turbocharging allows 115 hp to be squeezed out of the small engine, which is available from 4500 rpm. At the same time, the maximum torque of 190 Nm is achieved already at 2,000 rpm, which helps to confidently start from a standstill.

MR20DD 2.0 144 HP

The MR20DD engine, which is an improved MR20DE unit, received a variable-length intake manifold, a direct injection system, phase shifters on the intake and exhaust valves.

R9M 1.6 dCi 130 hp

The turbocharged 1.6 dCi diesel is based on its predecessor - 1.9 dCi (F9Q index). Up to 75% of the parts used in the new engine were developed from scratch. The design of the unit provides for the presence of direct injection with portioned fuel supply, a turbocharger with a variable geometry, a recirculation system exhaust gases, variable displacement oil pump, start / stop system. Peak torque of the 1.6 dCi 130 motor is 320 Nm (from 1750 rpm). The emission level of 129 g / km allows it to comply with the Euro 5 environmental standard.

Nissan Qashqai is a front- or all-wheel drive SUV of 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 and the best qualities of a family hatchback ... It is addressed primarily to city dwellers (regardless of age and gender) who are not used to limiting themselves to any strict framework ...

At one time, the "first Qashqai" became a pioneer who opened the segment of compact urban crossovers to the world. Many years have passed since then, and numerous competitors have appeared on the market, with which you can no longer compete with "old yeast". As a result, the world has witnessed the appearance of the second generation of "Qashqai", which was first presented in November 2013 in London, and celebrated its full-scale debut in January 2014 at a car show in Brussels.

There were no global changes in the appearance of "Kashkaya" during the transition to a new generation. The crossover has retained its recognizable body shape, but has become noticeably more modern, dynamic and sporty.

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

In October 2018, the Japanese again modernized the five-door, but this time they limited themselves to an audit. power gamut- 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 impetuous, fresh and harmonious, from whatever side you look. But the front view of the car is also quite monumental - the credit for this belongs to the complex outlines in the corporate style "V-motion" with "boomerangs" of running lights in the headlights and a "curly" bumper.

The wedge-shaped silhouette of the crossover attracts attention with a dashingly “flying” sill line, embossed “folds” on the sides and a sloping roof, which gives it lightness and sportiness, and the lean rear “flaunts” spectacular lanterns 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 frame of 1806 mm, and the height reaches 1590 mm. The crossover's ground clearance is 200 mm, and its curb weight ranges from 1373 to 1528 kg and depends on the type of engine and the level of equipment.

There is a good balance between ergonomics and quality in "Qashqai", besides, the interior looks quite European-like, 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 the 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 an adequate supply of space not only for the front, but also for the rear passengers. Particularly worth noting are the front seats with well-defined, almost sporty lateral support, which does not give back tiredness even during long trips. On the second row, there is a not very comfortable sofa - with a flat profile, a thick pillow and an unnecessarily hard filler.

In the arsenal of the second generation Nissan Qashqai is a trunk with a volume of 430 liters, which has an additional niche for a spare wheel. If you fold the second row of seats, the useful volume of the cargo compartment will grow to 1,585 liters, and you will get a completely flat floor.

On the Russian market, the second generation "Kashkaya" is presented with three variants of the power plant:

The role of the junior (base) engine is assigned to the turbocharged petrol 4-cylinder DIG-T 115 unit with a modest displacement of 1.2 liters (1197 cm³). Equipped with a direct fuel injection system, this engine develops no more than 115 Horse power 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 is 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 a four-cylinder aspirated in-line with a total displacement of 2.0 liters (1997 cc) and direct injection. The maximum power is limited to 144 "horses" at 6000 rpm, and the peak torque is limited to 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 combined with the variator. In the case of "mechanics", the SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 9.9 seconds, reaching a speed maximum of 194 km / h and spending on average about 7.7 liters of gasoline in a mixed driving mode.
The starting acceleration up to “hundreds” of the “automatic” car is 10.1-10.5 seconds, the 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 4 in-line cylinders with a total displacement of 1.6 liters (1598 cc) and a direct fuel injection system. Its peak power falls at around 130 "horses", reached at 4000 rpm, and the upper limit of torque at 1750 rpm rests at 320 Nm.
Such an engine works in conjunction with a variator and front-wheel drive, which allows the five-door to gain the first 100 km / h in 11.1 seconds, maximizes 183 km / h and "drinks" no more than 4.9 liters in the combined cycle.

The 2nd generation Nissan Qashqai is the first vehicle to be based on the new CMF (Common Module Family) modular platform. The crossover has a front independent suspension based on MacPherson struts, supplemented with a stabilizer lateral stability, as well as a rear multi-link system. All wheels are equipped with disc brakes, while the front wheels are ventilated. Rack and pinion steering gear "Japanese" is complemented by electric power steering with sport driving function.

The all-terrain 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 "like brothers" in a compulsory manner, 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 6MKPP will cost from 1,290,000 rubles, and with a 2.0-liter "aspirated" and a "manual" gearbox - from 1,423,000 rubles (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, the 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 steering wheel and some other equipment.

The "top" modification with a 2.0-liter unit, a variator and front-wheel drive costs from 1,878,000 rubles, while an all-wheel drive version is not cheaper 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, all-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".

Nissan Qashqai is a Japanese car that was completely created in Europe. Along with the Note micro-van, the compact crossover was to replace the Almera as the company's best-selling car. This is exactly what happened - in 2012 and 2013 the car became one of the 10 in the ranking of the best-selling cars.

In 2006 he hit the conveyors and went into mass production. However, it did not become known as Qashqai in all markets. In the United States, he went as Rogue, but in Australia, the car went under the same name as in the domestic Japanese market- Dualis.

This was done because Nissan feared that in Australia the name would be read only as "cash cow" (in translation it means "cash cow").

In 2008, an enlarged version of the Qashqai was released, which became 211 mm longer and accommodated the 3rd row of seats. The rest of the car remained the same, but it could be safely considered a family car.

In 2010, both models underwent restyling, which externally mainly concerned optics. Riding has become much more comfortable due to the improved and softer suspension, as well as more thoughtful noise isolation.

In 2013, the second generation appeared, which switched to a new base. New car received a more aggressive, but still recognizable design, as well as more modern equipment.

In 2014, a crash test was carried out according to European standards, during which the car received 5 stars out of 5, which a rare manufacturer can boast of.

Specifications

In the characteristics, we give a description of the possible options that are included in different configurations.

Exterior and interior design

It is a compact crossover that has a sporty and aggressive appearance. The front and rear bumpers do not protrude much beyond the axles, but their shape does not increase the vehicle's vanishing angles. Thanks to the ground clearance, the car is quite high, which is further emphasized by the black edging of the body along the sills, bumpers and arches. The glazing area is large and contributes to good view driver. The trunk sill is quite low, which will be especially useful when folding purchases. There are no protruding elements on the rapids, which means that nothing will get your feet dirty during boarding and disembarking.

Everything about the cabin is standard for cars of this class. The car has on-board computer, multimedia system, specially designed seats for more comfort, circular cameras, parking assistant, heated seats, windows and mirrors.

Specifications

There are three engines of different power to choose from. These are two petrol for 115 and 144 hp, as well as a diesel one for 130 horsepower. On gasoline options, you can install both mechanical and automatic transmission smooth gear shifting, but only the second option is installed on a diesel engine. Both gearboxes have 6 steps and work well.

With a manual gearbox and a gasoline unit, the mixed consumption is within 8 liters, but with an automatic transmission it can be from 6, 2 to 7, 3 (depending on the engine and equipment). With a diesel engine, the numbers are much nicer - it's only 5 liters.

As already noted, in terms of safety, the car received 5 stars according to the European standard. This is a very good indicator, which was facilitated not only by the new reinforced platform, but also by the good stuffing with airbags. Also, the car has modern anti-lock braking systems, trajectory control, vibration damping, stability stabilization systems, and so on. Also on the road will help and modern parking sensors, and an all-wheel drive system.

Options and prices

We will indicate the configuration and prices based on possible engines and gearboxes:

Gasoline 115 + mechanics. Only front-wheel drive is available. The interior uses leather upholstery, and there is no multimedia system screen and various additional gadgets. However, all the necessary equipment for safety and comfort is available. A choice of a conventional air conditioner or dual-zone climate control. Price from 1,000,000 to 1,120,000.
Gasoline 115 + automatic All the same front-wheel drive and the same equipment. Price from 1,065,000 to 1,180,000.
Gasoline 144 + mechanics. Front-wheel drive and the same equipment. The only difference is in a more powerful engine. Price from 1,080,000 to 1,180,000.
Petrol 144 + automatic It is possible to install four-wheel drive, as well as many add-ons, for example, a rear view camera with a display, parking assistant, leather interior and others. Price from 1,200,000 to 1,500,000.
Diesel 130 + automatic In fact, this is the previous version, only with a different unit. Price from 1 280 000 to 1 480 000.

Vehicle operating experience

The Nissan Qashqai collects reviews of the owners quite good, since the car is considered one of the best-selling in Europe. Let us present brief conclusions.

Owner benefits

Really comfortable seats that do not cause discomfort even after many hours of driving.
Good sound insulation, which you do not have to modify yourself.
The engines have good dynamics, which allows you to feel confident when accelerating.
O Nissan consumption Qashqai collected only positive reviews, since the consumption corresponds to the one declared by the manufacturer and is very moderate for this class of car - about 10 liters in the city.
Soft suspension.
Great LED headlights.
Despite the fears of buyers, the variator works smoothly and flawlessly.
If the all-round cameras are clean, then the car parks perfectly both day and night. Cameras also help when driving in narrow courtyards, where sometimes every millimeter counts.

Problems during operation

Reviews about Nissan Qashqai say that the car is not at all designed for cold winters. At temperatures below -10 degrees, the simple start of the car becomes a problem, and when driving, the revs often drop, and fuel consumption also increases.
Poor wiper placement, which will require you to crawl around the forums to prevent them from scratching the paint on the hood.
The trunk has a rather small volume, and the reason for this is a full-size spare wheel.
Reading reviews about Qashqai, we can conclude that all-round cameras are useless, since it is quite easy to get them dirty.
Climate control works poorly. Many people complain about slow warming up and cooling down. This can be especially problematic in a really cold winter.
