Speaking of SUVs, we can think of many models, but if you think about it carefully, there is a model that seems to be less mentioned in the past two years, and this model is Nissan's Qashqai. In fact, Qashqai entered China very early, in 2008 began to land on the mainland, with a good power system, affordable prices, in the Chinese consumer market soon entered the hot selling stage.
With the continuous rise of domestic cars, the impact on the Nissan Qashqai model is very large, so the sales of Nissan Qashqai began to decline, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Qashqai sold more than 40,000 new cars in the first quarter of this year, the results are still good, although there is a big gap compared with the peak period, but it is undeniable that Qashqai still has a strong dominance, and the total sales have exceeded 1.5 million, also called an evergreen model. But to be honest, the current Qashqai has caused consumers to have serious aesthetic fatigue, because there have been no major changes for many years. Apparently, the manufacturers are also aware of this, so the new Qashqai has been exposed.
From the perspective of design, compared with the old models, the change is quite obvious. The headlight design of the new car has become very sharp, there is a sense of design for the future car, the intake net has become more slender, more refined, and it is also equipped with a very deep movement surround.
Looking at the side design of the model, the new Qashqa adopts the structure of the two-color body, the entire roof and the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar have completely become a blackened design, and the entire side is particularly sharp. Some friends also said that how does this model feel so similar to Nissan X-Trail? Yes, Qashqa and Qijun are both from the CMF-C platform and belong to the same platform, so there are many similar places.
Compared with the old models, the design of the new Qashei bus tail shows a strong visual impact, not only has a clear blackened tail, but also presents a double-line segment design at the tail, which is particularly stylish. In the body data part, the three circumferences and wheelbase of the Qashqai have been greatly lengthened, with a length, width and height of 4436/1869/1618mm, and a wheelbase of 2666mm. Of course, we are referring to the overseas version of the body data here, but considering that this model is a global model, it is likely to be introduced as it is.
At present, the interior design has been exposed, and the changes are also quite obvious, or it is a replica of Qijun. The design of the entire interior is similar to that of Qijun, the full LCD driving computer screen, the nine-inch suspension central control, plus the air conditioning touch screen, and the electronic gear, the sense of science and technology is very good, and the central control part is also integrated into a lot of metal materials, which looks more grade. As for the vehicle-machine interaction system, the new car adopts Nissan's latest connect system, although it cannot be compared with domestic new energy vehicles, but in the field of fuel vehicles, this vehicle-machine interaction system is still more practical.
As for the power system, the current Qashqa is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated power system, and in the future, this power system will be abandoned, replaced by a 1.3T hybrid system with a motor, the fuel economy will be greatly reduced, and according to overseas tests, the fuel consumption will be as low as 5L. It is worth mentioning that this 1.3T engine is four-cylinder, and it may be equipped with an electric version of the hybrid system on Xuanyi.
However, there is a saying that Chinese consumers have a natural sense of rejection for the 1.3T engine, and many consumers will think that this power system is three-cylinder, and feel that the power will be relatively weak. As for whether it can be sold hot, we will wait and see.
