The appearance of the new crossover Nissan Qashqai 2014 has a fundamentally new design, but connoisseurs will recognize him as his older brother, well, what to do - relatives.
Despite the fact that the new Nissan Qashqai 2014 has a different interior than its predecessor, there is a strong connection between the past and the present Nissan, which is very difficult to miss. The similarity of crossovers can be judged if you ride both the new Qashqai 2014 and its previous version. And then immediately everything becomes clear.
In the 2014 season, Japanese automaker Nissan presented the world with a new crossover Qashqai
The first acquaintance with the car leaves positive emotions. And, of course, it should be noted that the appearance of the new crossover is fundamentally different from the previous Nissan car of this class. If you put the cars next to each other, you will notice that the current model is inferior in growth, but a little wider and longer than its older "relative", however, the manufacturer has abolished the +2 version and it will not be possible to drive in Qashqai in seven ways. The Nissan brand decided to assign the role of a family car to the seven-seater X-Trail (a larger model).
According to the manufacturer itself, the 2014 Nissan Qashqai is the firstborn of the Common Modular Family (CMF) platform. However, there are practically no fundamental differences between the new CMF platform and the C-cart. All that sets them apart is the somewhat advanced integration of electronic assistants. In addition, in the new Qashqai 2014 there is a slight increase in the wheelbase by 16 millimeters and a simpler design of the suspension scheme.
Exterior interior Nissan Qashqai 2014
Nissan engineers make no secret of the fact that the new crossover is a deeply modernized version of its predecessor. Of course, more high-strength grades of steel appeared in the composition of the metals of the body itself. From this car it became easier, but the rigidity of the body remained the same. It was also possible to lighten the car thanks to the lightweight semi-independent rear beam. In Europe, crossovers will be presented in four versions, two of which are equipped with 1.2 and 1.6 turbocharged petrol engines of different capacities. In the first version, the power of the car is 115 "horses", and in the second - 150. In addition to the petrol versions, there are also two variations of cars with diesel 1.2 and 1.6 engines.
Although the "second Qashqai" has a fundamentally new design, many repetitions with its predecessor have also survived. For example, the familiar triangular window on the C-pillar, the pattern of the taillights and stiffening ribs on the hood - all these similarities with the previous version of the crossover cannot go unnoticed.
The inner world of the crossover Qashqai 2014
Developers from Nissan have also done a great job on the "inner world" of the new Kashkai. The look of the car interior is quite European. There is an electronic button that regulates the handbrake, and the steering column can be adjusted in 2 directions. The interior space of the Nissan Qashqai 2014 has become more spacious. The usable area is increased both due to the new pedal unit and due to the seat adjustment, that is, tall people can lower the driver's seat for a comfortable stay behind the wheel. The passenger sitting in the front seat will have the same opportunity. It should be noted that the seats themselves have become even more hospitable. The Nissan company also took care of the passengers sitting in the seats and carved out for them one more centimeter on top of their heads and another centimeter and a half in front of their knees. Excellent interior insulation will hide all the noises from the outside. However, the Japanese still did not bother to work well on the soundproofing of the wheel arches, which is why, in the conditions of even insignificant off-road conditions, drum rolls appear from the blows of small stones, which is very annoying.

Gentlemen's set of the new "Nissan Kashkai"
The new crossover is equipped with a complete gentleman's package. It has driver fatigue control and blind spot monitoring. The smart car will be able to recognize road signs and prevent a frontal collision. And also the car has parking assistants and lane assistants. And with all this, there is no spoilage of the appearance of the Qashqai 2014, since the "eyes" of the crossover (cameras of active safety systems) are hidden under the front bumper trim. In this model, for the first time, the manufacturer used LED headlights as a head light.
The cost of this car
The final price of the car will depend not only on the choice of the model, but also on its configuration. The lowest announced price of the European version of the crossover is $ 17.6 thousand.
