Overseas new Qashqai customers enter the store, squinting, big screen! 1.3T instead of three-cylinder machine
Last year completed the update of the new generation of Nissan X-Trail controversy, originally Nissan X-Trail is a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, but the new generation of models are very aggressive, directly into the whole series of 1.5T small displacement three-cylinder engine, from the paper data point of view, replaced by three engines but there is performance improvement, power is stronger than the original 2.5L engine, unfortunately many Chinese consumers are not willing to buy it, as long as they see that it is a three-cylinder machine to turn their heads and go, do not forget to spit a few words. In the face of such a situation, Nissan X-Trail sales have a great impact, and now Nissan SUV lineup has another sales pillar is Qashqai.
In fact, a new generation of Nissan Qashqai has also been listed in overseas markets, and recently there have been new Qashqai into overseas 4S stores, from the perspective of the state of the real car, the design language has been aligned with the new Nissan X-Trail. The front face of the car has become a more exaggerated squinting daytime light, and the area of the net in the intake has also become larger. However, in addition to the front of the car, the changes in the sides and tails are indeed not large, especially the tail does not follow the trend through the lights, and it is still the lighting style familiar to the old Nissan Qashqai.
The interior progress is relatively large, after all, now consumers buy cars very much care about the sense of science and technology, the new generation of Qashqai provides a semi-LCD dashboard, the center control table is a large size floating navigation entertainment screen, and the car machine system has obvious improvements, whether it is the operation logic or the level of intelligence, at least keep up with the mainstream level.
What needs to be paid attention to is the power configuration of the new Qashqai, the overseas version of the model has been replaced with a 1.3T small displacement engine, see here is not to feel that it is a three-cylinder engine again? Although the displacement is small, this machine is indeed not a three-cylinder engine, but a 4-cylinder engine from Mercedes-Benz, and models such as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class belong to the same source engine configuration.
Why does Nissan's main model use Mercedes-Benz engines? In fact, this powertrain has a big head, as early as 2010, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and Daimler Group established a partnership, and then there have been many times of cooperative research and development, the highlight of which is this 1.3T four-cylinder engine, so the powertrain can be shared with Nissan, but the adjustment of power parameters is slightly different, Mercedes-Benz called the model M282, and Nissan uses hr13, its own structure and materials are consistent.
Referring to the power of the Mercedes-Benz 1.3T, low power 130 horsepower, high power 160 horsepower, Nissan's new Qashqai may be slightly different, but the difference will not be too big. According to Dongfeng Nissan's habits over the years, such an entry-level SUV model will not provide an at-hand self-integrated gearbox, many fans look forward to replacing the 7at is unrealistic, the new generation of Qashqai after the introduction of domestic production, is destined to be equipped with CVT gearbox.
To sum up, Nissan Qashqai does not have too many slots, if Dongfeng Nissan is also using Mercedes-Benz 1.3T power after the introduction, then this three-cylinder engine will not have any scolding, and it may be that Nissan Qashqai will gradually absorb some of the potential consumer users of Nissan X-Trail.
