In today's prevalence of new energy vehicles, the development of intelligent driving and battery-related industries has promoted the pace of independent brands. Compared with traditional fuel power, whether it is plug-in hybrid or extended range power, it has better fuel economy and power. However, for those who still believe in the better quality of joint ventures, they should also thank the rapid rise of their own brands, due to the intensification of market competition, there are actually good cost-effective models to choose from among joint venture brands.
For example, the car we are going to talk about today - Nissan Qashqai. During this period, in order to consolidate the market share of the brand's models, Dongfeng Nissan launched an official price reduction promotion, of which the original official guide price of the Qashqai Classic Comfort Edition was 125,900 yuan, and the price after the discount was 98,800 yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of 27,100 yuan. The event will be held from May 1st to May 31st. [The price preferential policies of the above models are for reference only, and the details are subject to the quotation of local dealers]
Although the 2023 Nissan Qashqai Classic will be launched in August 2023, in terms of configuration and power performance, it is still in the mainstream echelon of the 100,000 level. From the configuration point of view, the classic version of the whole system is equipped with automatic air conditioning, rear exhaust air outlets, PM2.5 filtration in the car, rear cup holders, imitation leather seats, multi-function steering wheel, 4G car networking, OTA upgrades, voice recognition control system, speed-sensing wipers, window anti-pinch hands, LED daytime running lights, active closed air intake grille, front keyless entry, etc., the overall configuration to meet the driving comfort required by family users is not a problem, the only deficiency is that the comfort version is still using halogen headlights.
In terms of power performance, the Nissan Qashqai Classic Edition follows the classic MR20 self-priming engine, applies in-cylinder direct injection technology, has a compression ratio of 11.7, a maximum power of 151 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 194 Nm. The matching transmission system is a CVT gearbox, the main power characteristics are smooth and economical, the whole model adopts a two-drive layout, the average fuel consumption under WLTC working conditions is 6.79L/100km, according to the current 92 gasoline price (8.19 yuan / liter) to calculate, the fuel cost per kilometer is about 0.556 yuan, and the cost of using the car is quite optimistic.
In the chassis part, the Nissan Qashqai Classic Edition adopts the front MacPherson rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension design, and the overall tuning style is more comfortable, on the basis of ensuring that the body has good support, more emphasis is placed on the stability of the body through small bumps and small ditches. Combined with the previous test drive experience, the overall power performance of the Qashqai classic is in line with expectations, and the power is not abundant, but it has good power smoothness and economy in the urban short-distance transportation scene that is used more.
In particular, the coherence of the whole power system, when the throttle is pressed, the power will follow, and the working logic of the gearbox is based on smooth connection and transition, and there is almost no sense of existence, which is more friendly to family users, but the engine sound of the engine is more disturbing, and the quietness is not as good as that of new energy vehicles. In terms of handling, compared with new energy vehicles, I prefer the steering wheel setting of the Qashqai, the steering feels light, and the chassis also retains a certain sense of the road, pointing accurately, and the body follows very well, while most new energy vehicles in order to save design costs, the steering wheel has a strong electronic flavor, and there is less sense of human-vehicle interaction.
In terms of space, the Nissan Qashqai Classic is not outstanding, but as a standard compact SUV, its wheelbase reaches 2665 mm, which can basically guarantee the comfort of the rear seat space. Judging from my height of 1.77 meters, when there is a 1.81 meter driver in the main driving seat, I still have 2 fists of legroom in the second row, although I can't stilt my legs, but I can also get a comfortable ride. As for the loading capacity, the car also performs well, with a trunk volume of 486 liters, which is a bit larger than the new Qashqai.
epilogue
At present, although the Nissan Qashqai is still equipped with a traditional fuel power system, it is not as good as the new energy domestic car of the same level in terms of economy and smoothness, but the reputation accumulated over the years and the product image suitable for all ages make it still maintain a high popularity in the family car market. Because of the fierce competition in the market, the Qashqai is not small in the current terminal market, usually more than 20,000 yuan in the market, according to past experience, the terminal price of Japanese cars will not fluctuate too much. So, what do you think about the price reduction and quantity of the Nissan Qashqai Classic Edition?
