Nissan Qashqai test drive since 2010 crossover
Teenager
The best, according to the canons of folk wisdom, is in centuries -old Wendetta with good However, it is also a rule that, under the first non -standard circumstances of the circumstances, hide behind the screen of exceptions in the case of Nissan Qashqai and Nissan Qashqai+2 This is exactly what happened: an exception, it is necessary to understand!
The main differences between these cars are clearly spelled out in the title of the model found in the hands of the editorial office: +2, it is in so many seats that the usual Qashqai differs from more. The third row of seats appeared in the trunk. We immediately note that this pair of seats, like almost all cars equipped with such an option, is intended exclusively for the transportation of infants. Or circus dwarfs. Most often, the presence of additional seats is nothing more than the reason for the car manufacturer to boast of the capacity of his cars once again. Only once I met a man who said that he really drove his children in the third row. True, they were located in the womb of a hefty American SUV, and not a Europeanized SUV. But since in the world of a car there is a rule of the third row, then any self -respecting manufacturer of all -wheel drive cars, as they say, must comply. Otherwise the boys will not understand
Just take and shove a couple of seats into the luggage compartment of the usual Qashqai, as you know, it was impossible. Therefore, to place the third row, it was required to lengthen the Qashqai body by 211 mm. Stupidly stretch the body, increasing overhangs, is also not a way out: we are not a wedding Hammer in the garage ... Therefore, the Nissan Qashqai+2 was created on the elongated platform of the new Renault Nissan Class. Thanks to this, its wheelbase increased by 135 mm, and the car added more than 100 kg in weight. To maintain the proportions of the car equally pleasant to the eye as before, the height of the machine was increased by 38 mm.
The exterior of the machine of revolutionary conflicts did not have to be transferred. Light facelift, no more. The design of the block fact of both the front and the rear has changed slightly. The false radiator grille and the front bumper skirt were also rejuvenated. The lower rear window got a more whimsical shape. Here, in fact, is all external changes. The Nissan Qashqai+2 salon, although it remained almost the same, has become somehow more serious, or the plastic of the front panel is now more pleasant to the touch. The dashboard is made almost like that of Nissan Murano's older brother. The climate control unit at the foot of the central console also received a new design. Yes, and this panoramic glass roof! Previously, such an option was not provided for Qashqai.
The volume of the luggage compartment (with a folded third row) increased to 550 liters. And the middle series of seats can now shift back and forth 240 mm. And take shape in the proportion of 40:20:40, and not 60:40, as before. The only pickup to the contents of the cabin concerns seats. It is a pity that the designers did not produce at least a small restyling with them. As before, seats are slightly lacking side support. Of course, Qashqai+2 is not a sportkup, but you must admit, it's nice when you don’t slip off the chair in a steep turn.
Under the hood of Qashqai+2, well -known gasoline engines with a volume of 1.6 (115 hp) or 2 liters (140 hp) are hidden. Note that a machine with a 1.6-liter engine can only be front-wheel drive and only with 5-speed mechanics. The two-liter engine is aggregated both with a 6-speed manual transmission and with CVT variator. The drive here can be either front or complete. It is clear that a slightly hungry car is simply obliged to lose in dynamics. But in practice, it is very difficult to notice a radical difference in this indicator. The vast majority of car owners certainly will not fix it. Another thing is that
the extension of the base slightly added Qashqai+2 smoothness in motion. He did not become a limousine from this, but still a truly noticeable plus car earned in terms of acoustic comfort. In the old Qashqai, it was noticeably louder, and the bewicking of the rear suspension was distinctly salted. For the modernization of the settings of the car, Nissan can put a solid five. It is also pleasant that an increase in the size of the machine did not lead to the loss of a confident sense of dimensions so kind to the heart of each Kashkaevod. It is known that even hereditary blondes, being driving Qashqai, dull less in the parking lot than at the wheel of any other crossover. This is facilitated by informative large lateral mirrors, and the rear view camera that can be equipped with the car.
Prices for Nissan Qashqai+2 start from 800,000 rubles, and the machine in the maximum configuration will cost 1,200,000 rubles.
In the operation of the topics of city crossovers, Nissan seeks to be ahead of the planet of the whole. At the car dealership in Geneva, the company introduced the younger brother of Qashqai a baby named Juke. Nissan offers him as a competitor to the city hatchbacks of the B-class. Juke is built on the Nissan Versa/Tiida platform. In his design, the features of last year's concept Qazana are traced. The machine is equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a turbocharger. The power of the motor is 190 hp Juke dimensions: length 4.135 mm, width 1.765 mm, height 1.570 mm, and a wheelbase 2.530 mm. The start of European sales Nissan Juke is scheduled for autumn this year.
