Since 2020, with the listing of Beijing Hyundai's new ix35 and the sales of Nissan Qashqai, a debate about who is the "first brother" of the joint venture brand compact SUV has been raging, and now, halfway through February 2022, the "you fight for me" war between the two models has not been extinguished, but has intensified. With the continuous increase of the young consumer group, the pragmatic concept of using cars will become a new focus of the car buyers, under such a proposition, Beijing Hyundai ix35 and Nissan Qashqai who is better?
For most consumers, the appearance design of Beijing Hyundai ix35 and Nissan Qashqai is a beautiful and attractive type, the two styles are different, but each has its own advantages, consumers can choose their favorite models according to the understanding of beauty, but one point that cannot be ignored is that the design should also be based on practicality, just like looking for a daughter-in-law, not only looking at the appearance, but also looking at the inside. For the pragmatic model, the interior is that the space in the car can meet the needs of the user, so let's first look at the space comparison between the two cars.
The first is the Nissan Qashqai, which has a body size of 4401/1837/1593mm and a wheelbase of 2646mm, which is commendable compared to the previous generation of models. But its ride comfort is slightly cramped, the Qashqai adopts a 5-seat layout, after the front passenger adjusts to a comfortable position, the space owned by the rear passenger can barely reach the passing line, but if the rear row is fully loaded, the space of the Qashqai will bring a great sense of crowding to the passengers, especially if the whole family travels, it will make the elderly in the back row feel extremely uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Beijing Hyundai ix35, its body size is 4500/1850/1715mm, the wheelbase is 2640mm, from the perspective of length, width and height, the data of ix35 is a full circle larger than the Qashqai, especially its body height is more than 122mm, this data is enough to make the head of the rear passenger have a very spacious and comfortable space. Not only is there plenty of head space, the rear space of the ix35 is also quite loose, because the interior design of the ix35 is more scientific and reasonable, it can leave plenty of legroom for the rear passengers, and if it is a thin passenger, it can even the legs of the erlang, which is completely enough for a compact family SUV.
Speaking of space, look at the power, power is very important for any model, even family cars need abundant power to complete the various tasks assigned by the owner. The Nissan Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 111 kW and a peak torque of 194 Nm, matching the CVT transmission. The data of this 2.0L engine has reached the upper middle level in the same class, but due to the characteristics of the self-priming engine, its acceleration in the first half is not very powerful, and it will still give people a feeling of dragging mud and water. In terms of fuel consumption, its NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.2L, but in the low-speed stop-and-go scenario, its fuel consumption will even reach 8L-9L, which requires consumers to pay special attention, after all, the cost of the car also needs to be considered.
Beijing Hyundai ix35 is equipped with a 1.4T in-cylinder direct injection turbo engine with a maximum power of 103 kW and a peak torque of 242 Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 6.1 liters. It can be seen from the data that the power performance of this engine not only surpasses many competitors, but also reaches the level of fuel consumption performance comparable to that of A0 class models. In addition, due to the characteristics of the turbocharged engine, it can achieve its own peak torque output at low speed, feedback to the driver is more energetic, and in the middle and high-speed range can also be pulled with higher efficiency of the vehicle, so in this scenario, fuel consumption data will be more attractive, can do both power and fuel consumption, very suitable for home users.
In terms of practical configuration comparison, we choose the two models of the respective top version for comparison, Nissan Qashqai is equipped with L2 level intelligent driver assistance system, while having voice recognition, tire pressure monitoring, adaptive cruise, car networking, remote control and other functions, for the average family user, such a configuration is basically enough, but its performance is only up to the same level of the model, want to have a better travel experience, but also need more humanized configuration.
The Beijing Hyundai ix35 already has these basic configurations of the Qashqai, and the panoramic sunroof can be opened, and the adaptive cruise can be extended to the full speed domain. In addition, ix35 also has a wealth of driving modes, including fatigue driving reminders, steep slopes, Bluetooth keys, wireless charging in the car, automatic headlights and other practical configurations that are more suitable for daily car scenarios, comprehensively solving the actual needs of users, in this field, Beijing Hyundai ix35 advantages are extremely obvious.
Balanced and comprehensive, it is the most objective summary and induction after comparing the Beijing Hyundai ix35 and Nissan Qashqai. But compared with these two models, Beijing Hyundai ix35 is obviously more in line with the needs of today's family cars, its space is abundant, full of power, fuel consumption is gratifying, rich configuration are the most concerned practical focus of consumers, therefore, the Beijing Hyundai ix35 will be more sensible to take home, there is also a key point is that the price of ix35 is more affordable than Qashqai, it is right to choose it.
