Российские Nissan Qashqai и X-Trail обзавелись стильной версией
Российский офис Nissan объявил о старте продаж Qashqai и X-Trail в новой дизайнерской версии N-Design. Ее особенность — черные детали отделки, которые могут комбинироваться с любым доступным цветом кузова. Например, для X-Trail предлагается затемненная решетка радиатора, черные рейлинги и диски, а для Qashqai еще и затемненная передняя оптика. Цены на X-Trail N-Design начинаются от 2 427 000 рублей, а на Qashqai — от 2 108 000 рублей.
В случае с Nissan X-Trail стильная версия N-Design базируется на комплектации SE+ и доступна только для полноприводных автомобиля с двигателями объемом 2,0 или 2,5 литра. Второй вариант обойдется в 2 509 000 рублей. Версия Qashqai N-Design построен на базе исполнения SE Top и предлагается как для полноприводных (от 2 200 000 рублей), так и для переднеприводных модификаций.
Обе модели также получили новый коричневый цвет кузова, который ранее был доступен только для Murano, а также функцию частичного управления через мобильное приложение Nissan Connect Services. Ранее в этом году российские Qashqai и X-Trail обзавелись полуавтопилотом ProPilot, который может поддерживать заданную скорость на трассе, удерживать автомобиль в полосе, тормозить до полной остановки и плавно трогаться с места без участия водителя. При этом автомобилист не должен убирать руки с руля и, в случае необходимости, должен быть готовым скорректировать движение.
Обе модели остаются бестселлерами Nissan. С января по август 2021 года в России продали более 31,7 тысячи новых автомобилей японской марки, в том числе 12,2 тысячи Qashqai и 11 тысяч X-Trail.
Nissan Qashqai 2024 – что изменится в дизайне
Третье поколение популярного кроссовера Nissan Qashqai представили еще в начале 2021 года, но до нашего рынка машина добраться так и не успела. А тем временем японцы уже вовсю испытывают обновленную версию, которая появится в продаже в 2024-м. Мы проанализировали «шпионские» фотографии с дорожных тестов и нарисовали собственный вариант рестайлингового «Кашкая».
Судя по тщательно укутанной в камуфляжную пленку передней части у ходовых прототипов, она претерпит серьезные изменения – Qashqai получит новые светодиодные фары, решетку радиатора и бампер. Сзади появятся другие фонари, а сбоку «подретушируют» накладки на пороги.
По технике серьезных изменений не предвидится – в Европе Nissan Qashqai продается лишь с двумя силовыми установками. Под капотом базовой версии – бензиновый турбомотор объемом 1,3 литра мощностью 140 или 159 «лошадей». А гибрид состоит из турбированной «полторашки» и электродвигателя – суммарная отдача составляет 190 л.с.
Nissan Qashqai SUV review
“The new Nissan Qashqai improves on the old model in all the right areas”
Pros
Cons
Verdict — Is the Nissan Qashqai a good car?
If you were impressed with the previous generation of Qashqai, chances are you’ll really like the new one. Its improved practicality shows that Nissan knows precisely what its mid-size SUV customers want, and the slightly lower running costs and hybrid version are welcome too. Add in more eye-catching styling, plus an up-to-date infotainment system, and the Qashqai is just about able to challenge the other big sellers in this class once again.
Nissan Qashqai models, specs and alternatives
The Nissan Qashqai needs little introduction. It almost single-handedly popularised the family Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and, despite a vast range of rivals, the Qashqai is still one of the best-selling cars in the UK. It’s almost become the default family car, while also appealing to people who want a little more space and a higher ride height than a traditional hatchback, along with the option of a hybrid powertrain and automatic gearbox.
Nissan will hope that this latest Qashqai continues the success of its predecessors. The manufacturer has updated the formula with sharper styling and a much more modern infotainment system. It has also brought the Qashqai’s engine range up to date, with a new petrol engine featuring mild-hybrid electrical assistance and an ‘e-Power’ hybrid model. This is an interesting addition, promising a driving experience similar to an electric car and lower running costs than a petrol engine, but without the need to plug in to recharge.

Prices are still reasonable and extra space inside should make the Qashqai even better suited to families and outdoorsy types.
The styling is familiar but smarter. There are sharp C-shaped LED headlights at the front, along with deep air vent slashes and a chromed-up version of Nissan’s V-Motion grille. A new two-tone roof option adds personality, and there are deep creases down each side. It arguably still looks conservative next to the new Kia Sportage but may steal admiring glances from drivers of other rival SUVs, including the SEAT Ateca, Hyundai Tucson and BMW X1.
Family resemblance to the new electric Nissan Ariya SUV is clear but the Qashqai instead offers petrol and hybrid engines. This is the Nissan SUV for you if you can’t stretch to the Ariya or aren’t ready for a fully electric car. From launch, the Qashqai came with a 1.3-litre petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance, which was used in the previous model (albeit without the electrification). A clever hybrid ‘e-Power’ model has now joined the range, and we expect it’ll prove popular.
The Nissan Qashqai e-Power hybrid doesn’t have the market to itself, as the Ford Kuga, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are all available as hybrids, and also as plug-in hybrids for short-range EV journeys. But due to the way the Qashqai is set up (the electric motor drives the wheels while the petrol engine acts as a generator to charge the battery, which is relatively large for a hybrid) it feels different to its rivals. Nissan has kept its promise that the e-Power would feel like an electric car to drive.
Rated ‘Excellent’ Trustpilot
It’s safe to say that the electrification is more noticeable than it is in the mild-hybrid, which feels like a normal petrol engine most of the time. Fuel economy in the new mild hybrid is around 10% better than the previous non-hybrid version, while performance is adequate rather than sparkling. A small weight reduction helps the Qashqai feel a bit more agile but it’s still not aimed at keen drivers. It’ll be absolutely fine for most buyers, especially as the engine is smooth and quiet.
The interior represents more of a step forward. Material quality has improved and so has the tech, with a new nine-inch touchscreen that’s faster and easier to use. Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay are available if you’d rather use your phone’s apps. A large digital instrument cluster is now fitted from N-Connecta trim and up, albeit with less crisp graphics than some of the systems we’ve seen. Unfortunately, with the rate of tech progress in this area of the market, the Nissan risks feeling dated in just a couple of years’ time.
N-Connecta is the third of five trim levels, and probably represents the best mix of value and equipment. The base-spec Visia edition is temptingly cheap but sparse on equipment (besides adaptive cruise control and rear parking sensors), missing out on a touchscreen and alloy wheels. Acenta brings an eight-inch screen with a rear-view camera, smartphone mirroring and two-zone air conditioning. Above N-Connecta, there are the top-spec Tekna and Tekna+ grades. Tekna+ brings big 20-inch alloy wheels, quilted leather seats (with massaging in the front) and a Bose sound system, but costing almost £10,000 more than N-Connecta it doesn’t offer the best value proposition. Launched in mid-2023, there’s also a Kuro Edition based on N-Connecta, but offering a unique exterior design with two-tone colours, black alloy wheels and extra features like a glass roof and digital instruments.
The improvement to tech up front is matched by more space in the back. Longer and wider than the model it replaces, the new Qashqai offers more rear legroom and shoulder room should be better too. There are more storage cubbies throughout the cabin and the boot is much larger than before. Its boot capacity ranges from 504 to 479 litres, which is average for the class but much smaller than the latest Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.
What about buying a used or nearly new Nissan Qashqai?
The latest Nissan Qashqai is still very new and while there are some second-hand models available, they aren’t too common yet. They should be a great buy if you’re considering a new one, though, as the car will be as reliable and as well-kept as a new car but with a lower price. The used car market is turbulent right now, but find a good deal and a used Nissan Qashqai is a fine option.
What’s its history?
The first Nissan Qashqai came out in 2007 and many credit the car with starting the current trend for crossovers and SUVs. It may not have been the first crossover (a car with the practicality of an SUV but running costs more like a hatchback) but the Qashqai was in the right place at the right time to pick up lots of fans.
The second-generation model arrived in 2014, and while it wasn’t as revolutionary as the first version, it was a big success and was among the best cars in its class when it first came out. Rivals that came along since then bettered it in many ways, though, and by 2017 when it was facelifted the Qashqai was starting to feel a bit outdated.
The newest model feels back up-to-date, especially as it uses modern hybrid tech and the driving experience is as good as ever.
Used Nissan Qashqai (Mk2 2014-2021)
The second-generation Qashqai arrived in 2014, and was updated in 2017 and then again in late 2019. The later models with the 1.3-litre petrol engine are best, but also the most expensive. If you want a cheaper-to-run earlier model, the 1.5-litre diesel is a good option. Read more in our buying guide covering everything you need to know.

Used Nissan Qashqai (Mk1 2007-2014)
The first-generation Nissan Qashqai is still a worthy used buy, as prices are low and it’s as practical as it was when new. As most are now over ten years old, you may find that maintenance costs are an issue, but it should still be a good family car at an affordable asking price.
