Test Drive Nissan Qashqai Since 2010 Crossover
In terms of +2. Do Nissan Qashqai need seven places?
Kashqai crossover deafening success of Nisanovans. Buyers rated a combination of interesting appearance, relative to the compact size, passenger chants and an increased road lumen. As a result, Qashqai in two years was separated by a 200-thousand edition. True, as in any attempt to combine everything in one, did not cost without flaws, which was called up to correct the seven-party version of Qashqai + 2, who made his debut by the fall last year. We found out, it turned out or not. Trips around the rough terrain greatly facilitate quite sufficient clearance and off-road body kit out of unprised plastic. It is a pity that the increased base has several spoiled geometric patency, but if not carried away, then even a long Qashqai + 2 will not save
The main change is increased by a 135 mm wheel base, between axes at Qashqai + 2,2765 mm. And the length rose and at all up to 4526 mm (+211 mm), which allowed not only to provide rear passengers more space, but also to set the third row of seats in the crossover!
The main charm of Nissan Qashqai + 2 in comparison with the front-wheel-water seventeral compacts the ability to freely call on the light off-road and, most importantly, to go back without any problems What for? It turns out that lovers travel in a large company are tired of the usual minivans they see if, give a spectacular appearance and considerable clearance to ride not only on autobahn. Oh yeah, and at the same time the car should cost no more than some kind of golf class. However, Nissan was focused not only on such cunning clients after all, after all, in their model row, the big shaft gaps, and there is no buses.
Nissan designers can be safely put perfectly in a trick. Nissan Qashqai + 2 looks so organically that the difference is noted by the owners of ordinary cascanese. The most obvious difference is the new radiator grille. And, of course, a signboard on the door of the trunk
With one task, Nissan coped cool outwardly, Qashqai + 2 absolutely does not like the clumsy stretch-limousines and from afar are almost indistinguishable from ordinary Cashkis, flooding our streets. And only huge rear side doors, like the elongated versions of German representative sedans, and the changed feed hint at something not clean.
The designers killed two hares at the expense of a high roof (+ 38 mm) they managed to maintain normal proportions, and at the same time make places in the trunk more or less cylinder. It even took care of the climate on the gallery in Qashqai + 2 there is a button that includes a ceiling deflector for economy class passengers.
Similar exercises on the sand can sometimes be done even in 2WD mode. The main thing is not to drop the speed, otherwise Qashqai + 2 will braid and not the fact that even a blocked coupling will help him. And, of course, you need to pre-disable ESP. On the steep sandy climbs of Qashqai, it is sometimes refused to work electronics, which takes place the variator and connecting the rear axle coupling. Electronics stifles the engine when the moment of resistance exceeds the critical. So the complex areas even with the connected rear axle it is better to overcome. The moves of the suspension in the cheek small, hang the wheel once spit. But a small diagonal hanging (the main thing is to ride the rowing wheels to be small) for the machine is not a hindrance, the role of differential locks is performed here by ABS, which slows down the bouts
However, the seventexity here is quite conditional. The third row is intended for people with growth of up to 160 centimeters. An adult will withstand torture for a long time, and ISOFIX fasteners for children's chairs are not here. So it is unlikely that someone will score with QASHQAI + 2 in Russia and go to the sea. After all, when seminal accommodation, the capacity of the trunk falls sharply.
So it is better not to figure out on seven, but folded once and forever rear armchairs. In this case, the average range can be easily shifted back (the range of longitudinal adjustment is 100 mm) and enjoy the comfort of a business class if in the usual village the increasing passengers are forced to sign the front seats with their knees, then in the plus two reserves are huge.
Inside simple and simple. The driver of sin complain to landing and visibility, but the skin on the ram is rude, and only one window lifter is equipped with automatic mode. There are complaints and buttons on the knob knitting. But the adequacy of the navigation system to check was not possible there was no disk with a card
But there is no difference ahead. Is that the front doors became a little different, which led to changes in windows, but it is really almost impossible to notice it. Front panel, seats and all controls are similar to the five-seater version. And if the landing behind the wheel does not cause any complaints, then the materials are places in places.
In addition to navigation readings, the color display shows the picture from the rear view camera. The receiver modes on the monitor are removed. The climatic settings are very comfortable, and there are no special claims to her work. The walker near the lever is changing the transmission modes All-Mode 4x4 front-wheel drive (2WD), automatic four-wheel drive (AUTO) and a blocked mid-space coupling (LOCK)
No changes and technical terms. Under the hood, the two-liter gasoline engine MR20DE, outstanding 141 hp and 196 nm of torque and a pair with a variator. True, he does it without enthusiasm when starting to the floor, the driver and passengers have to listen to a journal of a motor hanging on high speed, but overclocking is not impressive, because Qashqai + 2 at 130 kilograms is heavier than younger brother.
The front chairs are quite comfortable, and the ranges of adjustments are sufficient even for inclusive drivers. On the second row truly royal space. The base of the sofa is cut into two unequal (40/60) parts, they move independently from each other within 100 mm. The backrest-adjustable backrest folds in the proportion of 40/20/40 (in conventional couch 40/60). But the inhabitants of the rear stools do not envy. They, of course, have even a lighting plane, but only children can really sit there, or very small adults
However, the situation slightly facilitates manual mode with six fixed dynamics transmissions, this does not particularly add, but at least eliminates monotonous noise. Yes, and after the mark of 60 km / h qashqai + 2 is a bit animated, pleased with enough adequate responses for gas. A magnificent visibility, good brakes and accurate steering allow and play. It is especially convenient for this in the city, after all, you sit in Casca higher than in the usual car.
It features front and rear passengers armrests with capacious boxes and two cupholders. Door pockets deep enough, but behind more and molded under the bottle
On the winding road urban nomad is also folded. 17-inch Bridgestone tires well cling to the asphalt and allow to maintain a high pace. But if you overdo it with the speed, the Qashqai + 2 will go snout out of rotation. And this is true both for the movement in the front-wheel drive, as well as for the 4WD mode.
If you add up the two rear rows of seats, luggage compartment volume will be 1520 liters. When folded child seat cargo hold pleases 500 liters (90 liters more than the short Kashkai). If you put all the chairs in the trunk boxes fit a pair of shoes and a pair of bags with laptops
Nothing to worry about driver insures stabilization system that allows little poskolzit, while more or less critical situation immediately grab the Qashqai + 2's tail. However, it can be disabled, but then the machine remains fully predictable, except for a few artificial effort on the steering wheel due to the electric power settings. And due to the increased base Qashqai + 2 more and more stable than the Qashqai. Including on the line.
The rear seatbacks in the folded-out state can be fixed in two positions. Paul dual boot. Under the first space to the organizer (I wonder why it is not for a fee?). Under the floor of the second dokatka simple and regular tool
But the victim was the passenger handling comfort. The suspension is in no way softer than usual Qashqai! And if out of the blue coating everything is fine, you should be on the washboard as fit to pose the motorbike Crossman to extinguish the numerous blows that suspension passes to the body.
Full drive Qashqai + 2 can be implemented in one of two algorithms. In the Auto mode, the rear axle is connected with slippage of the front wheels. If clutch lock, the torque is split evenly between the axles. The only pity is that the moment a little sand and Qashqai have a harder time. This would be a diesel, but it is not supplied to us
In addition to low energy consumption, shock absorbers and allow the nasty buildup. They, unfortunately, are not able to fully repay the vibrations of unsprung mass (17-inch wheels with fat tires profile, apparently too heavy for them). So if you want to keep the internal organs Reduce your course on broken-down roads.
The second aspect that remained unchanged is noise insulation. For this, the five-seater Nissan Qashqai, swear and version +2. All and the engine, and the tires, and the pendant work are heard. And the wind is added at high speed, however, to a much lesser extent.
In general, Nissan has yet corrected only one problem. Cheating lack of place behind. At the same time adding another bonus in the form of seven chairs. It remains only to modify the suspension and put more insulating mats. But this task, apparently, will solve either restyling, or the next generation of the machine.
But if you look at the price tag, Qashqai + 2 turns out to be only 50-80 thousand rubles (depending on the configuration) more expensive Qashqai. And here to solve the buyer if the dimensions are not critical, it is better to prefer the short Qashqai. And if you need a four-wheel-drive seven crossover, then here you have to choose to pay extra for Qashqai + 2 or look towards alternative options that are not so little on the Russian market.

ALTERNATIVE
The price of all-wheel drive Nissan Qashqai + 2 starts from 975,400 rubles. This is one of the most affordable offers in the class of seven-bed crossovers. If the presence of an automatic gearbox is critical, then it is worth it for at least 1,010,100 rubles. So much is QASHQAI + 2 with a variator. But if the budget is to limit the mark of 1.3 million, then quite unexpected options fall into the number of competitors.
Chevrolet Captiva.
The owner of the seven-bed Chevrolet Captiva can be in the wallet only 903,700 rubles. True, it will be a version with a 136-strong gasoline engine of 2.4 liters and in the basic configuration of LT, devoid of even such familiar things as climate control and heated seats. But a little better, equipped modification with the machine will cost exactly the same amount as Nissan Qashqai + 2 with a variator 1 010 300 rubles. In favor of Kapitia, there are large dimensions, but in the minuses a lot for such a motor mass and, as a result, no dynamics. But this problem removes a version with a 3.2-liter 230-strong V6 such Captiva starts from 1,169,900 rubles.
Chevrolet TrailBlazer
And this is perhaps the most unusual sentence. Large frame American SUV with V-shaped 4.2 liter volume and 4-speed automata can be bought in just 1,000,000 rubles! True, the equipment will be more than modest, but the lack of climate control (there is an ordinary air conditioner) perfectly cast 295 horses and 373 nm of torque. For a well-equipped Chevrolet TrailBlazer will be asked for 1,309,800 rubles. But low prices are explained by the fact that the production of the model turned in December last year and dealers sell balances.
Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007
Two twin brothers and are technically identical, and stand equally. Well equipped modification with a motor 2.4 with a capacity of 170 hp And the handle costs from 1,135,000 rubles, and for the variator you need to pay 37 thousand. There is another interesting option with a 156-strong diesel engine of 2.2 liters Citroen C-Crosser or Peugeot 4007 with such an engine will cost at least 1,200,000 rubles. By the way, C-Crosser can now be bought for 200 thousand rubles. Cheaper, but this discount applies only to the 2008 production machines.
Hyundai Santa Fe.
Guest from South Korea, Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in a seven-storey performance only with a 2.7 liter gasoline volume. The 189-strong crossover with a 4-speed automaton in a good configuration dealers are sold for 1,174,276 rubles.
