Consumers choose Japanese cars for a very clear reason, nothing more than to see the Japanese car leather durable, low fuel consumption, high retention rate and other factors. Different brands have different concepts, such as Honda and Mazda are "technical control", committed to the in-depth study of the engine. Most of today's Toyota cars are based on the TNGA architecture, which maintains stable mechanical quality and constantly optimizes safety. For Nissan, most consumers will think of the comfort of the seat, which is beyond the reach of horizontal competitors. Although Qashqai's positioning is lower than that of Qijun, the cumulative sales volume in 2021 will exceed 160,000 vehicles, which will also make more potential consumers curious about Qashqa's car.
The price range of the 2022 Nissan Qashqai is 154,900-18.89 million, which is just the gap with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 Rongfang. However, compared with the Honda CR-V entry-level version equipped with a manual transmission, Qashqa is equipped with a 2.0L + analog 7-speed CVT powertrain, and there is a large preferential margin in the terminal market, which is enough to see the brand's sincerity. Let's take the 2022 2.0L XV Prem. Deluxe Edition as an example to see if the Qashqai is suitable for home use.
In terms of appearance, looking at the Qashqai from the perspective of young people, the appearance of the whole car is relatively outstanding, and it has the youthful and sporty atmosphere that urban SUVs should have. The front face adopts the design concept of V-Motion, which makes the front of the car have a high brand recognition. Although the configuration of the light group is not very high, except for the entry-level model that uses a halogen light source, the rest of the versions are equipped with LED light sources; and the whole series is equipped with daytime running lights, automatic headlights, front fog lights and other functions. Although Qashqa is positioned as a compact SUV, the body size is at the same level as the entry level; the length, width and height are 4401/1837/1611mm, and the wheelbase is 2646mm, whether it is compared to X-Trail or CR-V, Rongfang has a slight gap.
In terms of interior, the interior of the Qashqai looks a bit old-fashioned and mediocre at first glance, and a closer look will find that the material material of the whole vehicle is more outstanding than the competitors. For example, the door armrests, steering wheel, and center console are supplemented with soft or leather materials, and the seats are made of perforated leather; and the joint venture brands at the same price are almost all hard plastic, so the interior beauty of Qashqai cannot be judged only from the surface. The 9-inch central control multimedia screen is equipped with the Nissan Connect super intelligent connection system, with the internet of vehicles and OTA upgrade functions, and download the corresponding app on the mobile phone, which can realize remote monitoring of the vehicle.
In terms of configuration, front and rear parking radar, 360-degree panoramic image, cruise control, uphill assist, active closed air intake grille, front keyless entry, keyless start, remote start and other functions are standard; this Qashqai is also equipped with a driver assistance system, which includes lane departure warning, forward collision warning, reversing side warning, active braking and parallel assist functions, which can effectively improve the convenience of driving.
Although the size of the Qashqa has no advantage in the same level, the actual rear space is not a problem for the home. Taking the height of the experiencer of 175cm as an example, the head space in the front and rear rows can reach the level of more than one punch, adjust the front seat to the normal sitting posture, and the knee space in the back row is close to the level of two fists. Although the panoramic sunroof on the roof cannot be opened and closed, it can play a role in expanding the field of vision. The softness of the seat is still very advantageous in the same level, which can more fully filter the bumps and improve the comfort of the ride. The 486-litre trunk volume is naturally sufficient for everyday household use, and the rear seats support the proportions to be receded, and the malleability of the entire space is good.
In terms of power, the beginning of the article has introduced the powertrain of Qashqai, this 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 111kW, a maximum torque of 194N·m, a maximum horsepower of 151Ps, and the transmission part matches a simulated 7-speed CVT transmission. In fact, from the driving experience, this set of powertrains will not bring much radical feelings, car owners who pursue power, the same price is stronger than its power models abound. However, looking at this powertrain from the perspective of a family car, urban driving takes into account good smoothness, and THE NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.2L/100km, which is more worry-free to use. The suspension system is equipped with front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension; the rear suspension of the joint venture model at the same price point will be more in the form of a torque beam, so it can be seen from this that the material used by the Qashqai is more realistic.
In fact, after some experience, although the power level of the Qashqai is not the best in the same level, its smooth driving experience is very easy to get started. In fact, Qashqai is more like a compact SUV with misplaced competition, and the price after the discount is basically the same as that of Honda XR-V, Binzhi and other small SUVs; the same price consumers can buy higher positioning, richer configuration, and higher comfort, Qashqai as a family car is a good choice.
