Nissan in recent years can be said to be "wind and rain", from the leader to the entire series of products have a variety of negative entanglements, and in the past 2021, Nissan has been controversial because of the "three cylinders" problem of Qijun. Although Nissan later revived the sale of the old version of the four-cylinder X-Trail in China, trying to save the sales that were separated by the "three-cylinder", it now seems that the effect is not good.
According to the product planning, since its core product, Qijun, is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, then nissan will definitely use a three-cylinder engine in a large area in the future, which is also worried by many consumers who like Nissan. However, after receiving market feedback last year, Nissan seems to have woken up and does not intend to continue to expand the number of three-cylinder engines in its products, and the new Qashqa has adopted a 1.3T four-cylinder engine.
On February 18, 2021, Nissan Motor officially released a new generation of Qashqai bus models overseas, and the new Qashqa is based on the CMF-C/D platform like the new Qantcoon, so the overall shape is similar to that of the new Qante. In terms of appearance, the new Nissan Qashqai adopts the latest "V-Motion" family design language, and the iconic trapezoidal front grille is still separated from the C-shaped split headlights on both sides. On the side of the car, the new Nissan Qashqai still maintains the standard SUV shape, and the sunken roof and sloping rear window make the new car look more stylish.
In terms of interior, the new car is also similar to X-Trail, and it adopts the same design style. With a 12.3-inch LCD dashboard and a 9-inch floating central control screen, it is also equipped with a compact electronic barrier underneath, which is full of technology. It is much more fashionable than the cash in the sale of Qashqai, but the overall is still homely and practical, after all, the price is here. In addition, the new overseas version of the car is equipped with rain sensors, 360 panoramic images, driving mode switching system, cruise control system, and front and rear parking radar. Of course, this is the overseas version of the configuration, how much retention there is after domestic production, we do not know.
In terms of power that everyone is most concerned about, the new Qashqa is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + 12V micromix system, and the transmission system matches the CVT gearbox, while the current domestic version of the Qashqa is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. The engine is a 1.3T four-cylinder engine jointly developed by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and Daimler Group, with a maximum horsepower of 153Ps (113 kW) and a peak torque of 270 N·m. That is, the 1.3T engine that is now equipped with the Mercedes-Benz A200 and Mercedes-Benz GLB.
To be honest, I can expect the slogan played by the new Qashqai after the listing of the new Qashqai in the future - "using the same engine of Mercedes-Benz" and the new Qashqai after the domestic production is basically determined to be equipped with this engine, because some media revealed that Dongfeng Nissan's bidding announcement shows that Dongfeng Nissan will introduce a 1.3T engine. Judging from the content of the announcement, Hubei Dongfeng Nissan Automobile Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company have completed the bidding for the casting cylinder block of "HR13DDT".
Write at the end
In the past few years, Nissan has always given you a feeling of hero twilight, a variety of tricks are frequent, and the sales strategy of three generations of the same house is to completely tear down the "fig leaf" of making money, coupled with the imminent transformation of new energy, so that Nissan is estimated to have no years to squander the old money. The emergence of the new Qashqai and its 1.3T four-cylinder model can be regarded as a highlight of Nissan's new products, and we are also looking forward to the performance of domestic production in the future.
