In the Tekna 4WD version, the Nissan Qashqai misses nothing by guaranteeing traction even on the most slippery surfaces. There are many standard accessories, as well as finishes. The real highlight, however, is the 1.6bhp 131 dCi, a bright, lively and not-so-voracious engine that finally feels oversized for a car. The price is not the lowest, but this is the top version.
La Nissan Qashqai has great merit: he invented the segment, namely the compact SUV segment. This second generation improves in every way without breaking the original recipe. The version of our test is in the XNUMXWD range and is equipped with an engine. 1.6 dCi with 130 hp in the development Tekna.
The Qashqai is still a benchmark in its segment (some call it the "golf off-road"): it is a very balanced vehicle, not too bulky, rides well, spacious enough and has a nice modern design. This second generation looks sportier, especially in the V-shaped bow and muscular thighs.
city
La Nissan Qashqai it shows great maneuverability and is pleasant even in city traffic. Thanks to the resilient and ready-to-go engine and lightweight gearbox and clutch in action. The dimensions are also "correct", and with a length of 4,37 m, parking is not a big problem. Nissan says the city has a 100 km mileage at 5,6 liters (4,9 on the combined cycle), and with careful driving it does not go that far from the declared figure, thanks in part to a dry weight of just 1535 kg.
Outside the city
What do we prefer from Nissan Qashqai this is undoubtedly driving performance. IN commands they are lightweight, well-weighted: smooth yet responsive steering, smooth and precise gearbox, and very lightweight clutch. A winning combination that makes the Qashqai enjoyable to drive, even in corners where it is not uncomfortable at all. The engine also has a good shot: it has a slight firing lag and dies pretty quickly (at 4.000 RPM the game ends), but everything in between ensures Nissan has very respectable performance. The manufacturer claims that it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 10,3 seconds and has a top speed of 190 km / h.
шосе
Too much rustle interferes with flawless driving on long journeys. In fact, the Nissan Qashqai is an excellent mileage shredder: the seat does not tire, but in the version Teknathere is no shortage of basic amenities such as heated and electrically adjustable seats, cruise control and a navigator.
Life on board
La Qashqai there are no outstanding rooms, but the space on offer is more than adequate. The trunk volume of 430 liters can reach 1533 places thanks to the seats that can be divided in a ratio of 60:40; There are plenty of storage compartments, and the rear passengers will definitely have nothing to complain about.
Compared to the interior of the first generation Qashqai, it's a different story: materials are of excellent quality (the top of the dashboard is a unique soft plastic molding) and the controls are nicely textured and also look good. intuitive and accurate. However, the design is a bit conservative, especially compared to later competitors, but the quality is undeniable.
Price and costs
La Nissan Qashqai Our test costs 33.750 € 19, but, with the exception of the Black Edition, this is the most powerful and equipped version. The Tekna package is also very diverse and offers standard 7-inch wheels, an all-round monitor, cruise with speed limiter, LED lights, a 4-inch navigator and much more. The advantage of AWD is also undeniable for those who love mountain tours, but if you are happy with AWD and an intermediate installation with the same engine, you will save about 5.000 euros. Finally, we need to ditch the peak in favor of consumption, which is really great.
safety
Alert electronics, good roadholding, and active and passive assistance systems make Nissan Qashqai safe in all conditions, especially with the plus of 4WD.
