Recently, Nissan has not had a high exposure on the Internet, and it has been relying on the Nissan Sylphy car to support it. Aside from the Sylphy, the market popularity of Nissan's models on sale has been declining in recent years, including the Nissan Qashqai, especially after the new model was launched, the design style has become much more radical, which has also made it lose part of the user group who care about the appearance image of the mean. At the same time, the new model is also equipped with the same 1.3T turbocharged engine as Mercedes-Benz GLA, although the power performance is better, and the fuel economy is not bad, but in this era of "displacement is justice", young users' obsession with 2.0L self-priming power may not be so easy to give up.
Therefore, we see that Dongfeng Nissan has launched a new wave of price reduction policies in order to make up for the lack of competitiveness of Qashqai in the compact SUV segment. It is reported that at present, the Qashqai classic version can enjoy a cash discount of 27,000 yuan in the terminal, taking the classic version of the 2.0L comfort model as an example, after the cash discount, the price has been as low as 98,800 yuan. (The above price information is for reference only, the actual price of the model is subject to the quotation of local dealers)
Not to mention the price reduction, the Nissan Qashqai Classic Edition follows the 2.0L + CVT powertrain, with a maximum power of 151 horsepower, although the performance is not comparable to the domestic compact SUV of the same level, but the smoothness of the CVT gearbox is also what domestic cars need to learn. I believe that anyone who has driven this car or sat in this car is familiar with it, the power output texture of the Qashqai Classic is linear and smooth, and the matching degree of brake and accelerator is high, and there is almost no frustration when driving. In terms of economy, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of this power system is as low as 6.79L/100km, although the economy is not as good as the plug-in hybrid SUV, but at least there is no need to worry about the lack of battery-fed power.
In addition, Nissan also has some advantages in chassis tuning. For example, the steering feel, on the basis of ensuring the accuracy of directivity, the steering is light and comfortable, and the torque of the gain with speed is moderate, which will not make people unaccustomed. However, the chassis suspension configuration is more conventional, is a common front MacPherson rear multi-link design, tuning is mainly comfortable, but limited by the cost of materials, so when the vehicle drives to some non-paved roads, the wheel jump amplitude is still more frequent, there will be some loss of comfort, more suitable for walking on paved roads.
As for the appearance of this car, in fact, everyone is familiar with it, so I won't go into too much detail here. The biggest difference between the Qashqai Classic and the new model is the line style, the new model has a more vivid depiction of details, while the LED headlights and taillights are sharper. In terms of body size, the new model is also a little larger than the classic version, but the crossover style design remains the same, and the aspect ratio of the classic version is equally satisfactory.
In terms of interior, the interior design of the Qashqai classic version is similar to the old X-Trail that we are familiar with, and the 9-inch central control screen adopts an embedded layout, although it supports voice recognition, GPS navigation, OTA upgrades and other functions, but the playability is not high, and there are no CarPlay and other car-machine interconnection functions, and there is a certain operating threshold for use. After getting used to it, the practicality of this interior design is not bad, after all, I believe that most people still prefer to operate the model with the layout of the air conditioning control knob and double flash switch buttons, and the steering wheel style is traditional, and the function buttons on it are clearly damped, which is convenient for blind operation during driving.
In terms of specific configuration, the Qashqai Classic Comfort is an entry-level model, and the price of 98,800 makes it attract attention. The model is equipped with a more complete passive safety configuration, including front and rear head airbags, front side airbags, front airbags, but also equipped with built-in tachograph, reversing image, front keyless entry, active closed grille, LED daytime running lights, speed sensing wipers, multi-function steering wheel, imitation leather seats, automatic air conditioning, rear air conditioning outlets and other configurations, although these configurations are relatively basic, but can meet most of the requirements of family users for travel comfort, more practical.
In fact, at present, in terms of a car purchase budget of 100,000 yuan, there are many models that can be bought, especially some pure electric scooters, although the battery life is not high, but the intelligent configuration, space comfort, and power performance are not bad, the only shortcoming is that the model positioning is low, and the brand awareness is not high. The Nissan Qashqai, whose price has dropped to 98,800, makes up for the lack of size and positioning, with reliable 2.0L+CVT power quality, good fuel economy, and good seat comfort, which is quite friendly to young family users.
