Grille test: Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi 4 × 4
We know two ways in which manufacturers created their own hybrid park, without which the brand would hardly survive today. Some have imparted the off-road character to regular existing station wagons, while others have toned down their chunky SUVs to what they call a crossover. One of them is Nissan, which did not become famous for its pale models like the Primera and Almera, but gained much more prominence for off-road models like the Patrol, Pathfinder and Terrano. The decision at one time to experiment and offer the city an SUV has borne fruit. The pioneer of the new segment became a hit overnight.
Much has changed in ten years. The Qashqai is no longer an individual player in the market, but remains the best-selling model in its class. Snacks are essential to being on the throne, and Qashqai tasted them again. Of course, they did not go for radical changes, but the difference compared to its predecessor is obvious. The redesigned radiator grille, along with a new bumper and signature LED headlights, create an updated look for the Qashqai. The rear has also received some minor changes: new headlights, bumper and silver trim.
The interior is a little more refined with better materials, and the infotainment interface has been improved. It may not be on par with current systems that offer more smartphone support, but it still serves its primary purpose well enough. One of them is the 360-degree view of the surroundings using cameras, which is a welcome help, but on a small screen with poor resolution, it does not fully manifest itself. Ergonomics have been greatly improved with a new steering wheel that hides an updated button layout to control the radio and trip computer.
The 130-horsepower turbodiesel on which the test Qashqai was powered is the top of the range of engines. If you add all-wheel drive and the highest level of equipment to this, then this Qashqai is really all you can get. They also offer an automatic transmission that is incompatible with all-wheel drive. However, we can conclude that such a manageable Qashqai will suit even the most demanding buyers. The engine will satisfy all the needs of movement, it is well sealed, and the flow rate during normal driving should not exceed six liters.
