With the main selling points of affordability, easy opening and solidity, after several years of listing, Dongfeng Nissan-Qashqai has accumulated a huge amount of ownership and a fairly good reputation. With a car purchase budget of about 150,000, it may be a good choice. 2022 2.0L CVT XV Smart Edition as the lowest model in the whole series, the official guidance price is 154,900 yuan, there is a certain preferential margin in the market terminal, is it worth recommending?
Dongfeng Nissan- Qashqai
The Qashqai's styling is no stranger, and from today's point of view, the overall design is slightly outdated, but durable enough. In terms of appearance, there is a certain difference between the entry-level model and the high-end model, and the chrome trim embellishment is missing in the details such as the front surround, and the sense of grade presented has dropped a lot.
On the entry model, the near and far lights are used in halogen light sources, although the lamp cavity has a lens structure inside, but the sense of refinement is still not high. In terms of functions, it supports automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, etc.
Length, width and height: 4401/1837/1593mm
Wheelbase: 2646mm
Compared with high-end models, the difference in the side shape of the lowest model is mainly two points, one is that the rim size is smaller, and the other is that it is not equipped with a roof rack.
The rim size is 17 inches and the tire size is 215/60 R17. Compared with the two-color sports rim on the high-end model, the wheel rim on the low-end model is much inferior in size and shape, and the visual effect is relatively general.
The rear shape of the car is basically the same as that of the high-end model, and there is no obvious difference. In terms of configuration, the entry-level model is not equipped with a rear parking radar, only equipped with a reversing image system, which can only be regarded as barely enough.
The overall performance of the interior cockpit is similar to that of high-end models, the interior style is relatively simple and homely, and the material level can reach the level of passing. The steering wheel is made of plastic, no leather wrapping is used, and it is recommended to upgrade later.
The shape of the dashboard is exactly the same as that of the high-end model, and the 5-inch color display in the middle can provide rich driving information. The 9-inch central control screen is standard for the whole series, supporting navigation, voice recognition, Car Networking and other functions, which is enough for daily use.
The seat is wrapped in leather with red stitching, and the sense of grade is still good. The adjustment of the front seats is manual, and the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and the seat heating function are only available on the high-end model.
In terms of power, Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 151 hp and a maximum torque of 194 Nm, which is matched by a CVT gearbox (simulated 7 gears). In terms of suspension, a combination of front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension is used.
Write at the end:
The 2022 2.0L CVT XV Smart Edition, as the lowest-equipped model, does not perform well in configuration, and there is also a certain shrinkage in appearance. If you're not on a particularly tight budget, I recommend you buy the 2022 2.0L CVT XV Prem. Deluxe Edition (the official guide price is 168,800 yuan).
2022 2.0L CVT XV Prem. Deluxe Edition
The difference of 13,900 yuan can buy 18-inch wheels, roof racks, LED headlights, front/rear parking radar, parallel assist, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic image, cruise control, leather steering wheel, main driver's seat electric adjustment and many other configurations, I think it is quite cost-effective.
