Test drive Nissan Qashqai 2007 - 2010 SUV

Test drive Nissan Qashqai+2: In one fell swoop

The new Kashkai won primarily in a freight basis than in the passenger. And at the same time, a seven -seater configuration is always possible and sometimes really can help out. Children will like it for sure.
We met Nissan Qashqai in 2007, when the urban nomad translated this way that has already become familiar to the name from one of the African dialects has just appeared. Kashkai turned out to be actually a revolutionary who blew up standard niches and suddenly became incredibly popular: the car was actively bought up both in Europe and ours. He really successfully combined the advantages of golf class and crossovers. It would seem, what else to wish?
But, judging in their own way, the Nissanists outplayed the very advantages of mocking, somehow compactness and spaciousness, and said that now everyone needed Qashqai+2! The new index hides an additional, third row of seats, large dimensions and a rose price. How does the new Qashqai intend to attract fresh blood?
Kashkai+2 still caresses the eyes of the lines of the body already, but something has changed in it. He became heavier, more arrogant and larger. To make sure that this is not a fraud of vision, it is enough to compare the dimensions of two models: the length is 4315 mm versus 4525 mm, the wheelbase is 2630 mm versus 2765 mm, the rear overhang increased, the window line has changed. The width remained the same, the car grew in height, but not so significantly: 30 mm. The rear doors expanded by 135 mm. The novelty moved away from compact crossovers and waved to the Murano class. And it benefited her.
Despite the familiar appearance, the new model looks fresh and relevant. Especially there is a porridge+2 white color, which is shaken by the factory tinting of the rear glasses and scarlet stains of the lamps.
 
The salon also was left without significant changes, and they are here: everything is still comfortable and convenient. There is nothing to stop at the look, but nothing annoys. On black seats, a stylish white spit.
We impatiently climb into the second row of seats.
The changes begin immediately behind the backs of the front seats: due to the enlarged wheelbase on the second row, it became tangibly more spacious in all directions. Moreover, now the passengers have the opportunity to adjust the tilt of the back and move the seats in the horizontal direction by 240 mm. Of course, this is done for that cherished +2
At the first glance at the third row, you understand why the new Kashkay became not really seven -seater, but only +2. This euphemism is usually used in relation to the compartment, they like there are places, but they can be not counted. Two Qashqai+2 chairs on adults are definitely not designed for two chairs. Well, if you wish, you can get there, bent over a hundred deaths and instructing bruises. And what to do next? Sit on almost the floor, resting your knees on the ceiling? And the problem is not even in the distance to the backs of the second row, no matter how they move them, but in the fact that the seats are exactly on the floor.
However, children will probably like it here: their own, separate from adult places and windows and a sense of chamber, personal children's room. And if you lower the back of the middle seats of the middle row, which will turn into a armrest with the cup holders with two outlets for 12 V, if you wish, you can communicate with an adult zone. Only with all this, the fun cannot but confuse one thing: and if suddenly a blow from the back, how reliable does a thin door that separates small passengers from reality be? .. The first Qashqai scored a record number of EURONCAP stars at one time, it will not let us down +2.
 
In motion, the car also elusively changed. Still, it’s not just that a couple of seats were put, the car is practically built on the new platform and has a larger mass, therefore it was necessary to change the suspension and steering settings and increase the diameter of the brake discs. The line of the engines remained the same.
Kashkai is still intuitively understood in management, but he began to go more smoothly and calmly, more friendly in relation to the driver and gently swallows unevenness. Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting amorphous flat seats, in which it is difficult to stay with the rolls in the bend. Things on chairs are better not to leave at all. Nevertheless, a feeling of greater stability is created on the road than in a five-seater crossover, and in the dynamics of Kashkai+2 it is not inferior to the younger older brother: the car still does not provoke an active ride, but allows you to stay in the stream without tension.
 
Despite the grown dimensions, the novelty boasts the same quality, which so attracted fans of the usual five -seater version with a surprisingly accurate sense of dimensions. The ladies who liked the first Kashkai in this regard will like the new one. Gorgeous large side mirrors play the hand of visibility, completely covering the picture around the crossover. It is more difficult to feel the back of the car, but here the rear view camera comes to the rescue, who reaches its duties with a bang.
 
Qashqai+2 is conceived as a roomy crossover for a large family, they say, and there are so seven places, no less. But in such a configuration, the luggage compartment behind the back of the third row resembles Supermini Fiat 500, even not to shove the bag. A large family will not be able to take baggage with them. But how many opportunities for transformation of the interior is offered by Nissan!
The third row is formed in the proportion of 50/50, you just need to understand the difficult system of straps, and this is not so simple. With both folded seats, 550 liters of useful space are freed, which is 90 liters more than the usual maxillary. And if you remove the middle row, it will be difficult to figure out that it is transported in this almost a freight car with a volume of 1520 liters with a flat floor! So it turns out that the new Kashkai won primarily in a cargo one than in the passenger and at the same time seven -seater configuration is always possible and sometimes can really help out. Children will like it for sure.
Apparently, in Russia, the advantages of Qashqai+2 in front of Qashqai will be just in the increased carrying capacity, and not in the ability to plant seven on the shops. The second significant plus in a larger free space in the second row. And finally, the urban driving characteristics of the car towards comfort and stability have changed favorably. In addition, in my subjective opinion, the seven -seater Kashkai has become prettier.
As for the encroachments on the off-road laurels, we recall that Kashkai is offered both in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive modifications, and most of the sales still falls on a monotive. Despite the all-wheel drive with the Haldex electronically controlled coupling and plastic protection at the bottom of the body, Qashqai remained mainly by the city nomad, although he is ready to move out of asphalt if desired of his passengers.
The cost of Qashqai+2 starts from 777,000 rubles by 51,000 more than the basic version of Qashqai. For this money, a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a manual transmission, 4 airbags and safety curtains for two rows, the Nissan Brake Assist, an audio system with 4 speakers, an on-board computer, air conditioning, a tape recorder from the steering wheel, the headlight washer, adjusting the steering column. By departure and height, the Hands-Free and Bluetooth system with control on the steering wheel, all doors, leather armids, electric drive and mirror heating. The cost of expensive sets can reach 1,126,900 rubles. Full-wheel drive and variator are available with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine.
