Comparison of Nissan Terrano and Nissan Qashqai. Choose a crossover - "full minced" in the classroom or empty with Nissan Terrano or Qashqi

Nissan held a traditional large spring test drive crossover under the name "City Legends". The magazine "Engine" drove more than two hundred versts on the roads of the Irkutsk region in the Japanese brand parquets, and still experienced them on the ice of Baikal in order to find out if the spirit and roots were left in these machines or did they finally become "citizens"?

"Between us melts ice!" - It comes from the speakers of one of the test crossovers, the voice of the official DJ Nissan Russia, while the instructor dedicates us with a colleague in the subtlety of the execution of the "Perestrovka" maneuver on the ice.

"A Frenchman came to us here recently - from the School of Increased Driver Mastery," says the instructor. - Travel and says: You have some incorrect ice here, even the spikes do not hold on it. "

Laugh laughter, and the ice on the world's largest freshwater lake and really cunning: in one place the tires can be kept quite normal, and literally in two steps and on the legs, it is difficult to resist ...

So - about the "rearrangement". To perform it on a bare ice and at least do not fly into a snowdrift, but how much does not finish the roofing race, the main thing is to work correctly. The first movement of the ram must be as fast as possible. When the car is on the arc, you need to not sleep and make the opposite movement of the steering wheel, putting it directly, "due to this, the possible skid is extinguished, as they say, in the embryo.

Next, you only need to keep smooth gas and smoothly work the steering wheel, returning the car to the straight line. I managed. And the first time. The advice of the instructor, and the responsiveness of the "Kashka", and, not least, good studded tires, which were "shod" test cars.

Nissan X-TRAIL, for its part, turned out to be very prompt on the ice "snake": "I did not get drunk" at the entrance to the turns and easily allowed the "catch" with the steering wheel of the rear axle. That's just the anti-duct system is overlooking the engine during acceleration.

But Terrano was not impressed on the ice circle: the 4-speed "automatic" switches the transfer of the nefple, the reaction of the machine to work with gas - as if in charge, the steering wheel - tight and with an active ride already a little-informative. In general, as they say, it is "not it" ... But "lit" Murano, which demonstrated the enviable efficiency of the braking system when braking "in the floor" on the mixed snow-ice coating with almost maximum speed during Drag racing.

However, the races on the ice of Baikal Nisanovsky gave us for dessert. The main dish was the 140-kilometer mileage on crossovers from Irkutsk to Belsk.

On this route I got Qashqai 2.0 with a variator and a full drive. Without a short year and a half ago, we will remind, we experienced it in the mountains of Abkhazia.

Now, the stony primers of the Irkutsk region allowed to add a couple of new strokes to the portrait of the most popular Nissan crossover in Russia.

The first and most importantly: Qashqai is quite fairly positioned as the "Citizen".

Short shades on nature, of course, are not contraindicated by him, but he forces to go carefully on the village.

Its limit to the measure of broken stony primer - 50-60 km / h: further becomes uncomfortable, and "yawning" the pit remaining after the dried puddle (for nothing they do not have sharp edges), you can run into a very sensitive deaf blow.

The "comb" car also dislikes, transmitting microvibration to the steering wheel.

Yes, and on the noise insulation of the wheeled arches saved: sometimes it seems that sand and small pebbles are about to fly into the salon.

But with geometric passability Order: 200-millimeter clearance and moderate (on the background of most modern parquets) Swees with a trap with a trap motor and a well-tuned variator allow you to make a very confident move along a snow-covered forest path.

The asphalt QASHQAI 2.0 pleases with reliable and predictable behavior in turns and grieves the nonlinear fuel response: to speed up from 80-90 km / h, you must first unleash the engine, and only then follow the desired "pickup". Diesel 1.6 DCI (130 l.), I remember, followed the pedal much more than. It is a pity that such a motor is available in Russia only in combination with the front actuator.

Typical for Russian provincial highways The defects of the QASHQAI coating "twists" is quite confident, but a series of different-caliber irregularities is forced to slow down - it sometimes does not have time to work out the suspension.

Replanting in Terrano, wait for it just exemplary behavior on uneven roads. With regard to the energy intensity of the suspension of waiting, these are justified for all hundred: no hints on breakdown! And on stony primers and snow-covered forest paths, you can "pour" in the rally-raid style. But the smoothness of the course is traditionally not the strongest side of crossovers on the platform B0, as well as noise insulation. In the near future, we will test the updated version of the model, you may be waiting for openings.

How to combine one with another and make the suspension comfortable and energy-intensive at the same time? It looks like Nissan knows how: in the case of the X-Trail, they have it quite successfully! The crossover with the same indifference "swallows" and a different kind of road smallers, and picked in half colleses.

At the same time, the work of the suspension is not accompanied by excessive noises: only tire slaps comes from the front wheeled arches. The rear arches are most actively passed into the salon "Cocanier" spikes on asphalt.

With the controllability of the X-Trail, also order: the car is perfectly held by the direct, "not resting" at the entrance to the turn, and the steering wheel seems sometimes too easy (especially with small angles of its turn), not at all deprives the driver of a sense of confidence in the deviats.

And everything would be fine if the machine impression did not smear the engine. Not the most constructive "fresh" 2.0-liter 144-strong gasoline engine and semi-trial Qashqai does not turn into a sports car. And without a small 1700-kilogram X-Trail of this engine and there is enough in bulk.

An acceptable dynamics can be called only at low load yes on the plains. If there are three or four catches in the car, and the road becomes hill, X-Trail 2.0 becomes the "heavenly squabble".

We are going along the Baikal tract. Ahead is a protracted climb after dangerous turn, so the ahead of the way will not be accelerated. Pedal - in the floor, but the car seems to make a favor, and does not gain speed. Diesel here, urgently! ..

Alas: a new 2.0-liter DCI with a capacity of 177 liters. With., Which would be great for the X-Trail and which is available in Europe, we will not have. For Russia, diesel X-trail is equipped with an exclusively motor 1.6 DCI from 130 liters. with., full drive and ... only by a manual transmission. Whereas for version 2.0 DCI, Europeans can enjoy the variator. So for us the most optimal modification of the X-TRAIL remains a gasoline 2.5-liter (171 liters. P.) With a full drive and variator.

What is the result?

Stony primers of the Irkutsk region and the Nisanovians cleared for us on the ice of Baikal manageability tracks as it should not be better helped by the emphasis in the characters of Japanese crossovers.

Nissan Qashqai - a pronounced "Citizen". It is impossible to say that in nature it is quite uncomfortable, but, choosing on it, say, to the country, you need to go on the village: the number called "More Speed \u200b\u200bis less than a hole" with "Casca" will not pass.

Nissan Terrano - on the contrary, the avid "dacnik". And the worse the road becomes, the better it goes. Where Qashqai is forced to drop speed, Terrano allows you to "throw on all the money," without disassembled roads.

The very same balanced in characteristics was the X-Trail. The car is confidently rides on the roads, and in the "directions". At the same time, both in the city, and on the highway, and on the primer, he turned out to be the most comfortable of the whole Trinity.

There is also, of course, a new Murano, but this is a completely different story. Including for money ...

The Renault-Nissan Alliance has long succeeded in the fact that under different brands sells the same machines, and the question rarely arises, what is the difference in the most popular CDs in our market: Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano.

The body of these two cars ... say that they are similar - it's nothing to say. In fact, this is the same machine, with different nameplates, optics and different set of options.

Engines and PPCs Nissan Terrano and Renault Duster

The technical filling of the models is almost completely the same. Basic for both cars is the HR16DE motor. It has a working volume of 1600 cm³, and thanks to the system of changing the phases of gas distribution on the inlet shaft, 114 hp removed from it. The engine is quite good, and has long been known for such models as Nissan Juke, Nissan Note, Nissan Tiida and Nissan Qashqai, which are no one year old on the expanses of our homeland.

This power plant is working in a pair only with a 5-speed mechanic, and may have both front and four-wheel drive.

The second engine installed on a couple of duster - terrano is a cast-iron 2-liter F4R unit with a belt drive GDM with power 143 hp

On the problems of this power unit, it is primarily a low resource of the operation of the phase inspector on the inlet shaft. It usually takes 70,000 km and after the car begins to work with sound support of diesel. In order to avoid it is required to pour good oil and change it with an interval at least 10,000 km. The ignition coils live their lives, and may fail for incomprehensible reasons, so it is better not to risk and change the original ammunition spark plugs on something more productive. The throttle valve is often clogged, so it is better to engage in 30,000 to 40,000 km to engage in prevention and it.

The rear gland crankshaft, loves to leak on the "engines" with mileage for 100,000 km and shamanism will not help here, replacement even on the official service is inexpensive. With such things like - extraneous motor noises, floating momentum, increased oil consumption will have to come to terms, as this features F4R, and nothing to do with it. In spite of everything, the motor is good and in normal operation of special problems will not be delivered, the engine's engine weight is 200 000 - 250,000 km to the capabilities.

There are no special problems on the "mechanics", this is a simple 6-speed manual transmission with pleasant short moves of the switch lever.

But on the automatic transmission on these machines a lot of interesting things! Until recently, buy a duster or terrano with a full drive and the automatic transmission was impossible. Everything is simple because Renault did not have its all-wheel drive transmission, but to put the variator on the hit sales in Russia meant to put the cross on the whole. The guys in the Renault not long thought (somewhere a couple of years), put the gearbox to their front-wheel drive automatic transmission of the DP2 for transmitting a torque for another axis, and called it DP8:

She was adaptive by installing the Siemens control unit, and she was finally lost. When moving along the city stream, these boxes do not always understand what they want from them, and God with him, with switching up, switching down DP boxes are given very hard. Renault is one of the most serious automakers in the world, as they managed to make a box, which is lost in all its four programs, it is not clear to me ... Nevertheless, the problems of this box, besides its behavior, get out only closer to 100,000 km of run. Most often it is overheating due to the strongest slip of the frictions. It is desirable to change the oil in the gearbox once in 60,000 km, and it is possible a problem will bypass, although no one can give 100% warranty.

The only thing that these cars differ technically - the Duster can still be available with a 1.5-liter turbo diesel engine and 109 "horses". Such a motor can only be bought with mechanics, and only with a complete drive.

Comparison of salons The difference between Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano

All major differences, in addition to appearance, are hiding in the cabin, although they are not so radical. From what can immediately rush into the eyes - these are different dashboards, on the "Japanese" it is more pleasant for the eye and with a less annoying backlight, in the rest, as they say, find 10 differences.

What is better terrano or duster?

The price policy "Renault" is built on the fact that they give cheap cars to undemanding consumers, but if you want to fit the air conditioner, when buying a daster in the basic configuration, you will have to either give up this idea, or pay extra. The terrano already in the database has a lot from the fact that they will have to buy. If you compare the prices of cars in the same equipment, the price difference will not be so big. Plus, the Nissan brand is still more powerful than Renault, on this and calculation.

The Large Automobile Concern Renault Nissan introduced many models for the Russian market that won their popularity among the domestic population. Very often, people wonder what is better than Nissan Casca or Renault Duster - two crossovers recognized by people in Russia.

It would seem that the cost of the car brand Nissan significantly exceeds the price of his "younger" fellow in class, which means that it is related to its outstanding characteristics, is it really? In this article we decided to compare Renault Duster and Nissan Kashkai for all possible points.

Appearance

Let's start an overview of the two crossover from their appearance:

Assessing visual Renault Duster, you can safely attribute it to the class of "SUVs", contribute to this: large wheeled arches, protective thresholds and roof rails. Another important and significant element for driving on the French off-road, is a backward bumper.

Comparison of Nissan Cascai with Renault Duster, allows you to note the following elements: "Japanese" has more smooth forms and a typical volumetric front bumper for the urban crossover.

Gabarits.

For many motorists, the dimensions of the operated machine are an important factor. According to its sizes, crossovers are not very different from each other:

• Duster length 4317 mm, whereas Nissan 4377;
• In height, if compared with the french rails, Renault wins with a score of 1625 mm against 1595 mm;
• The wheelbase also has a minimum difference, 2646 mm from Duster and 2673 in Kashka.

According to these characteristics, Nissan Qashqai and Renault Duster can get a "draw".

Salon

We turn to the inner decoration of cars, consider both the dimensions and the features of each model:

Duster salon has a simpler, no sings of wooden inserts and gold-plated elements, the cheap hard plastic is well planted.

Between the front seats and the rear 67 cm, which is quite enough for an average person with an increase of no more than 185 cm;

The Frenchman suffers a little ergonomics of the cabin, not all controls are easily accessible, time will need to get used to their use;

The height of the Salon Duster allows people to be placed by the people of medium height without any problems, whereas the coupling this parameter lost 4 cm and causes discomfort for passengers with an increase of 180 cm.

Nissan felt more elegance, ergonomics are quite better than the Frenchman, everything is at hand at the driver and made with taste.

At the same time, the Japanese suffers because of the inconvenience of the driver's seat, the high landing is combined with a low ceiling, this place is clearly designed for people with an increase of up to 180 cm;

By the volume of the trunk, the victory on the side of Kashka - 430 l against 408 liters of the Frenchman.

Specifications

In this section, we will analyze the most important aspects of the operating moments of Renault Duster and Nissan Kushka, allowing to evaluate the car precisely as a means of movement:

• Road clearance at the Frenchman 210 mm, at the couch 200 mm;
• The diameter of the reversal has a minimum difference - 10.4 and 10.6 in favor of the duster;
• The mass of the car is again on the side of the Renault crossover - 1370 kg against 1464 Japanese kg;
• Fuel consumption When comparing 2-liter units, it brings victory to Casca - 6.9 l / 100 km, while Duster has 7.8 this indicator.

RENAULT DUSTER and NISSAN QASHQI

Let's start considering the power units of cars:

• RENAULT DUSTER The engine volume of 1.6 is well suited for movement in the city and small off-road, where the optimal speed is no more than 80 km / h. This does not mean that it is too weak, power is quite enough to make quick overtaking on the track, but still his "cruising" speed ranges from 80 to 120 km / h. At high speeds with turns of more than 3000, he begins to howl, the same trouble and kashka;
• The engine of Nissan Cascai has the most winning torque: 200 (20) with 4400 revolutions per minute. The Frenchman is slightly, but inferior, having 195 (20) / 4000 rpm;
• The number of horsepower, if you compare the 2-liter motor, identically.

Suspension and steering

If you decide to choose a Renault Duster, then you will find:

• The ability to choose 4WD in any design, where the rear suspension is an independent multi-dimensional, and the front - with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers;
• On the front-wheel drive fans, the front remains the same, and the rear is installed half-dependent;
• The handlebar of the daster is a bit tight in management, but it does not affect the movement along the highway, all the bumps and pumped only slightly split the body, without knocking the car from the specified course. The car is simply optimal for Russian roads;
• Cashkaya management will deliver a little more convenience, smooth responses, the machine does not make any sudden jerks;
• The pendant in Nissan is "dense", swallows small potholes, without disturbing the comfort of movement.

Transmission

Types of transmissions in crossovers are distinguished:

• Nissan Cascai is represented on the market with a variator to which many skeptical relationships;
• Duster occurs with a 6-speed mechanic and a 4-speed gasoline machine.

Configuration and prices

It remains to compare crossovers for possible variations of the configuration and prices for Russians:

• Starting price for Cascai begins with 950,000 rubles: 6 airbags, air conditioning, ESP, radio and 1.6 liter motor - it all enters the basic cost;
• The simplest equipment of the Duster costs from 640 thousand rubles, it has 5-step gasoline MCP with 114 horses;
• If you want to purchase a rhenium crossover with 4WD, then it will have to pay 120,000 rubles for it;
• The cost of the automaton with a 2-liter engine on Duster will cost 950 thousand rubles, luxury equipment with the same engine will cost 1 million 30 thousand rubles;
• The top package of couch with 19-inch alloy wheels and all sorts of electronics, which increases the comfort of movement to a new level, will cost 1,459,000 rubles.

Summary

The cars described in the article have many of their advantages and minuses, they are pretty different in their capabilities and in general have different ways. If Nissan Cascai with his aggressive appearance, with high comfort, fully conquers the city environment, then the Duster looks more reliable on country roads, perfectly fit into the harsh Russian climate.

Dacia Duster VS Nissan Qashqai

Dacia Duster VS Nissan Qashqai

It is not entirely advisable to compare each other in a class of crossover with each other and knowingly losing for a more affordable version, but we still risk and comparable to Nissan Terrano and New Nissan Casca. If the first car is essentially a slightly improved version with exactly the same line of engines and transmissions, then Casca will receive a new generation, not only in our opinion a more interesting appearance, but also a much more modern line of motors.

Let's talk a little about appearance.

The terrano has a fairly simple body, without any excesses in the form of difficult to postpone the doors, the only thing that can attract connoisseurs of the "off-road" image, these are massive wheeled arches and undergoing pseudo-steppings that do not carry any benefit except visual. Once again, we repeat that the front part of Terrano 2014, personally reminds us very much for the design of the Nissan Pathfinder SUV, which can undoubtedly be attributed to advantages. Another interesting detail is a bumper that has a small beep and protection, as by the way and Volkswagen Tiguan in the TRACK & FIELD configuration. Such a bumper allows you to storm off-road, without fear to leave it on the battlefield.

What to say, and the new county looks more modern, from the part due to new modern optics, more complex parts of the body with smooth outlines. Yes, and in general, Qashqai 2 generations are made in a new corporate style, in which a new X-Trail and Murano also appeared, perhaps further and terrano will receive similar appearance, but so far it is too early to talk about it. Note that if Terrano remotely resembles a reduced SUV, then Casca is a complete city inhabitant, which is not ashamed to drive up to the club or in a cafe.

Interior Design

The former and current owners of Renault Duster, sowing behind the wheel of the new Nissan terrano will not open anything new for himself, because The design of the interior of the crossover produced under the Japanese brand is completely similar to the French fellow.

In the cabin there are ergonomic miscalculations that Duster famous, but by and large he was pleased with it. But here if you choose a version almost in the maximum configuration, the cost of which is selected to the mark of almost 1 million rubles, then here of course there are a lot of things to which you can find fault.

Interior Kashka does not go to any comparison with terrano, it looks and felt much more expensive. If there is an aesthetic perception for you in the first place, then definitely the choice is obvious.

Financial component

And finally, we turn to more important components when choosing, namely to the price. Russia is 677,000 - 885,000 rubles, depending on the equipment and the selected configuration. While the value of Nissan Qashqai second generation varies within 848,000 - 1,336,000 rubles. It turns out that in front of the potential owner, if he suddenly choose between two of these models, the question of choosing, or terrano in the maximum configuration, or Casca in the minimum.

Specifications

When comparing these parameters, the unconditional leader is Casca, because It is equipped with a more modern line of engines. The potential owner to choose from 2 gasoline and one diesel engines will be proposed. The first 1.3 liter capacity of 115 hp, working in a pair with a mechanical transmission and front-wheel drive, a more powerful version will be available with a 2.0 liter motor with a capacity of 144 hp, which works in a pair or with a mechanical transmission or with a variator. It should be noted that versions with mechanics are available only with the front actuator, while versions with the variator will also be available with a full drive. Well, finally, the diesel version of the couch is equipped with a 1.6-liter motor with a capacity of 130 hp, front actuator and variator.

Terrano is currently available with two 1.6 liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 102 hp. and 2.0 lithric power unit with a capacity of 135 hp The potential owner is available to choose from a full and front-wheel drive, as well as a selection of transmission: either a mechanical gearbox, or a standard 4-speed automatic.

Dimensions:

Nissan Qashqai - Length 4377 mm., Width of 1837 mm., Height 1595 mm., Road clearance 200 mm, the volume of the trunk is 430 liters.

Nissan Terrano - Length 4342 mm., Width 1822 mm., Height 1668 mm., ground clearance205 mm, trunk volume475 liters.

As we assumed in this battle won a more modern Cashkiy, but however, if you choose a crossover for fishing trips / hunt, most likely we would prefer terrano, which has more trunk, less scene and most importantly below.
