The new third generation of the Nissan Qashqai crossover has already been repeatedly seen in camouflage on the roads of different countries. That is why it was possible to imagine how the novelty would look like. In the European market and the surrounding countries, the car is known as the Qashqai, but in North America as the Rogue. The presentation of the novelty could have been predicted, since recently the new generation of Pathfinder was presented to the public.
The new Nissan Qashqai received a larger body, updated and not quite familiar front optics, and, of course, a modern interior design paired with a hybrid installation under the hood. According to car enthusiasts, the new crossover has become edgy. Apparently this happened because of the unusual shape of the front optics. If you believe the manufacturer's words, it will be fully LED, starting from the basic configuration.
In shape, the optics of the Nissan Qashqai 2022 turned out to be in the form of a boomerang, a thin upper part tightened on the side fenders and a more open and strict lower part made in the form of a strip. The very optics are matrix, with LED elements in the upper part. Accordingly, the system can automatically adjust the beam of light, darken certain areas and highlight turns. The rest of the front end remained well recognizable, which means that the manufacturer decided to keep the recognizable design of the 2nd generation. Small radiator grille, V-shaped chrome line at the bottom and company logo in the center of the grille.
Small changes were made to the front bumper of the crossover, it became as sharp as the optics. The lower part is answered under an additional radiator grille, where sensors and sensors for various safety and comfort systems are located. On the sides of the bumper there are triangular air intakes that stretch from the very bottom to the headlights. The hood and windshield of the new Nissan Qashqai have only changed in size, but in terms of design they have practically remained the same.
The side of the new Nissan Qashqai remains recognizable, strict body lines, a plastic body kit around the perimeter of the lower part and a line that stretches from the front optics to the rear stops. The designers lowered the side mirrors onto the door panel, although they were previously in the corner of the front windows. Starting from the basic version, the mirrors will receive a maximum list of functions (heating, electric drive, automatic folding, memory).
Body colors played an important role in the design of the new Nissan Qashqai. The buyer was offered a choice of 11 options, 5 of which are two-color. The two-tone color assumes a painted roof and pillars in black, white or silver, and everything below the pillars will be painted in the color chosen by the buyer.
At the back, the new 2022 Nissan Qashqai hasn't let down on fashion trends. An elevated sporty look, a spoiler with LED repeater on the trunk lid and a model lettering in the center of the trunk lid paired with the company emblem. Unlike the previous generation, the hind feet are narrower and sharper in design. At the heart of only LED technology, with pronounced direction indicators, which will be clearly visible at long distances. The rear end is completed by a bumper consisting of a black plastic insert, plastic in the body color and a diffuser (can be silver or gloss black).
As for the roof, there is a large glass panorama with a sliding front part. It is still questionable whether it will be installed on the basic configuration of the new Nissan Qashqai or whether it will be available for a separate surcharge. Overall, the exterior turned out to be modern and without unnecessary details. I would also like to add that the tailgate is made of composite material, and the side doors and hood are made of aluminum, which in total led to a weight saving of 60 kg. With all this, the rigidity increased by 40%.
Now about the interior of Nissan Qashqai 2022. In contrast to the exterior, the interior has changed quite a lot. The central part of the panel was decorated with a 9 ″ display of the multimedia system, made in the form of a tablet. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto served as the basis for it at the same time, while CarPlay can connect wirelessly to the corresponding gadgets.
Modern manufacturers in every possible way transfer control to touch panels, in the new Nissan Qashqai they decided to leave mechanical buttons, up to the climate control panel. The central tunnel of the crossover has been updated quite well, the gearshift lever has become smaller, at the very beginning they placed wireless charging, a little further the button for the electromechanical parking brake and the help system when starting downhill. On the other hand, there is also a pair of cup holders and a roomy armrest.
In addition to the large multimedia display, the interior of the new Nissan Qashqai has become more spacious, with soft upholstery. For a surcharge, the front seats can be equipped with a massage function. Not without improvements to the driver's seat, the dashboard is now fully digital, based on a 12.3 ″ display.
Optionally, they suggest adding a 10.8 ″ head-up display. Top modifications promise to complete with 3D navigation maps. An innovation can also be called a central airbag, between the front seats and a variety of USB ports located around the perimeter of the Nissan Qashqai cabin.
The new Nissan Qashqai is based on the CMF-C platform previously developed by the Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi alliance. In terms of dimensions, the body has increased in length by 35 mm, width has increased by 32 mm, and in height by 25 mm. The minimum gain was in the wheelbase, only 20 mm. The increase in size affected the free space of passengers in the second row, there was more space. As a result, the volume of the trunk has changed, adding 50 liters of free space.
Due to the tightening of environmental standards, diesel modifications of Nissan Qashqai will not be sold in Europe. According to representatives of the company, the first copies will be equipped with turbocharged gasoline engines HR13, volume of 1.3 liters. In terms of power, there will be two options, for 140 and 160 horses. The unit with less power will receive a 6-speed manual in a pair and only front-wheel drive. The engine will work more powerful in tandem with a manual transmission (for front-wheel drive) or a variator (for all-wheel drive). The all-wheel drive modification of the Nissan Qashqai received five modes of adjustment for movement.
In addition to the listed units, the buyer of the new Nissan Qashqai will be offered a hybrid installation, referred to by the manufacturer as e-Power. It is based on a 1.5-liter MR15 gasoline engine with 157 horsepower. The electric motor on the new hybrid will produce 190 horsepower (140 kW) and 330 Nm of torque. Previously, a similar technology was implemented on the Nissan Note, which was offered for the Japanese domestic market, but for Europe this is an innovation.
According to available information, the new hybrid Nissan Qashqai will benefit from the company's electric vehicles. Smooth start, high torque and good response to the e-Pedal. As a result, the wear of the brake system will be reduced, and the car can be slowed down by slightly releasing the accelerator pedal.
