Nissan Qashqai is a compact crossover who saw the world in 2007. Its production has established in English Sunderland, and it was the very first concern model, which was released in Europe. In Japan and Australia, the car was named Dualis, in America - Rogue.

The company was expected to produce and sell 100 thousand cars per year, but the demand for Qashqai was so high that the plant had to translate into a three-permanent mode of operation. In total, about 1 million copies of the first generation were released in the world. So this car informally became the founder of the class of compact crossovers.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!

In Russia, Nissan Qashqai was supplied in the market with gasoline engines 1.6 and 2 liters, mechanical gearbox or variator, front or complete drive. There are also versions with turbodiesels of 1.5, 1.6 and 2 liters, but they did not sell them in Russia - they could be driven out of the abroad (so some and came).

In 2008, QASHQAI +2 appeared with two additional places. To do this, the manufacturer had to make a wheelbase longer than 135 mm and to increase the rear ot of 75 mm. And in 2010, restyling was produced. So the car has become more beautiful and with better noise insulation.

Engines HR16DE and MR20DE (1 generation)

The most common are HR16DE and MR20DE engines. These are massive power plants that are used not only on Nissan models, but also on Renault.

The first popular engine is HR16DE. This is a 4-cylinder and 1.6-liter gasoline engine power of 115 liters. from. Its maximum torque is achieved at a rotation speed of 4800 rpm and is 168 nm. The advantage of the aggregate is its omnivores - it is able to work normally with gasoline AI-92, 95, 98, the passport consumption is 6.9-8.3 liters. It is considered reliable and economical, distinguished by pickup and confident work on low revs.

Motor disadvantages:

Lack of hydrocompators that entails the need to adjust the valves at a certain time.
High price of oil pump and timing chain. However, the timing chain in this motor is almost eternal.
The fuel pump and the benzobac are a modular design. If something breaks, then you have to change the whole knot.

Despite the disadvantages, the motor is reliable, and its chain instead of the timing belt is an advantage, as it is not stretched even after 200 thousand kilometers. In addition, it does not break sharply (as it happens with belts), and its wear is accompanied by a crackle. This eliminates the risk of instant cliff and damage valves, which leads to overhaul.

As for the engine resource, according to various sources, it is able to "run" 400-500 thousand kilometers. On car forums, there are many owners with a mileage of 300 thousand.

MR20DE is a popular 4-cylinder 2-liter motor with a capacity of 129-147 liters. from. It is installed not only on the Nissan model, but also on Renault (Serena, Clio, VN200, Megane, Scenic, etc.). Its maximum torque is achieved at 3,800 rpm and is 207 nm.

As in the previous model, there are no hydrocomathers, so the engine knock will first indicate the need to adjust the valves. In general, the motor is simplicity and does not have complex technologies. Its characteristic "diseases" are as follows:

Elevated oil consumption. The problem with the high masplicity is relevant for this DVS. The cause of clutch oil rings becomes.
The second drawback is the tension of the timing chain, which is accompanied by loss of power, dips idling.
Engine whistle - often on a cold engine, a whistled whistling from the generator is heard. So his belt whistles, which can be tightened or replaced.

By itself, the engine MR20DE is reliable - he has its pros and cons, but with proper operation and timely replacement of oil, candles and filters it will last long. Often there are cars with this unit with a mileage of over 300 thousand kilometers.

Second-generation engines

The "Nissans" of the second generation was used by advanced MR20DE. They got the name MR20DD (that is, only the last letter was changed). During the improvement, the motor was supplemented by the system of changing the phases of gas distribution on two shafts, added intake manifold with direct injection and variable length. This made it possible to increase power up to 144 liters. s., Torque - up to 200 nm. This is the maximum point achieved at a speed of 4400 rpm.

At the same time, the engine remained economical - its consumption was 5-8.5 liters per 100 km. In addition to Nissan Qashqai, the installation was put on other cars:

Minivans 4-5 generations (Serena).
SUV 3 generation - X-Trail.

Now this engine is installed on restyled Nissan Qashqai models.

Another gasoline motor installed on the "Nissans" of the second generation - H5FT with a capacity of 115 liters. from. and 1.2 liter cylinders.
The maximum moment (205 nm) is achieved at 2000 rpm, which allows you to "tear" at the start and quickly develop high speed. It is extremely economical internal combustion engine with a consumption of 5.6-6.2 liters per 100 km. Small volume of cylinders is compensated by the presence of a supercharger (turbine). The motor itself received a chain timing, an aluminum block of cylinders (to reduce weight), direct injection and the system of changing the phases of gas distribution.

The peculiarity of this engine is the supercharger at a low volume of cylinders. Therefore, after the start for a confident transition to the second transmission, it must be promoted to 4000 rpm. This moment is extremely unpleasant to many owners, but it can be used to it.

The last motor installed on the 2nd generation Nissan Qashqai is R9m with a 1.6 liter capacity. This is a diesel power plant with a supercharger with a capacity of 130-160 liters. from. and torque 380 nm (at 1750 rpm).

The engine is also installed on Renault cars. As in many other Nissan power plants, a chain timing is used here (the chain is designed for the entire service life of the motor, although after 300 thousand kilometers it is stretched). The turbine with variable geometry provides an additional supervision of 1.5 bar, which ensures the specified power.

The engine does not have serious flaws and miscalculations, but there are small shortcomings. One of the common problems is to pollute the return valve that clinically nozzle, and find them difficult.

The turbine and liners are reliable - they serve about 300 thousand kilometers, but the EGR valve will have to be cleaned every year, otherwise the accumulated nagar will be to be climbing it, and then the air-fuel mixture is supplied to the cylinders get the wrong proportion. With normal maintenance, the motor will last for a long time - it is an excellent diesel engine that has been running over 350-400 thousand km on many cars. In addition, he gives up tuning, which allows you to add about 30 liters. from.

Exploitation

Used on Nissan Qashqai vehicles Power plants with proper maintenance can "run" 500 thousand kilometers, and even this is not the limit. The manufacturer clearly indicates the basic maintenance rules of the engines:

Use recommended engine oils, taking into account air temperature on the street and hydraulic lubrication characteristics. And although the manufacturer recommends changing the engine oil through 15,000 km, it is desirable more often - after 7.5-10 thousand kilometers. This is caused by low oil quality (many fakes on the market), which lose their operational properties faster than the engine is calculated. Moreover, "Nissan" recommends changing the oil after 7500 km under severe operating conditions.
Use only certified cooling fluids and change them every 60 thousand km. From time to time it is necessary to check the level of coolant in the tank and add, if the level falls below the laid.
Use gasoline specified in the characteristics of the octane number. And although the use of gasoline AI-92 is allowed, it is desirable to pour into the fuel fuel AI-95 reliable brand.
Maintain the ignition system in good condition. If there are problems with launch, then you need to replace the candles recommended by the manufacturer as soon as possible.
Use oil filters that advise Nissan. No need to choose a filter that is suitable exclusively by carving. Air and gasoline filters should also be changed by passing the mileage specified in the documentation.

All these elementary actions will significantly increase the resource of the motor, which is already high.

Conclusion

Nissan engines cannot be called new ones - they are manufactured since 2007, so their design is known to mechanics for a hundred. This indirectly means that these motors have been well understood, and their repair and elimination of typical "diseases" is a normal practice.

Is it possible to recommend buying a Nissan Qashqai car on the basis of any of those specified in the engine table? Full! These are reliable power plants with a large resource, which is inadvertent for most motors of other manufacturers.

Thanks to its aggressive appearance and serious technical specifications, Nissan Cascaia is located for a long time in the upper stages of ratings by sales. This car successfully combined the qualities of family hatchback, and the permeability of a compact SUV. Qashqai is brightly stands out in the city stream of cars, and confidently overcomes all the off-road. Big ground clearance and four-wheel drive are indisputable advantages on any road surface. Its bright memorable appearance can be evaluated in the photo below:

The history of the creation of Nissan Casca

This car was created completely from scratch, to fill a popular market niche compact SUVs. The project was made in the British Design Center Nissan through digital modeling. The final view of the car was created by London designers, and such a look, with small modifications, we see today. On the difference in the appearance of the first and last episodes, you can look at the photo Nissan Cascaism below:

To the title of the model, the creators approached creatively: the car was named after the ancient tribe of Kashkashyev's nomads, living on the territory of modern Iran to today. The first idea was used by Volkswagen, the neighboring the name of Taureg - the name of the tribe of the North America Indians. In Russia, these cars owners are affectionately called "cats", and at home, in Japan, this Nissan is sold under the title Dualis.

For 2019, Nissan announced the next restyling model concerning the appearance of Kashka, and the improvement of electronic equipment. Cars for the Russian market and further will have increased clearance in 200 mm, and a full-size spare in the trunk. According to information from informal sources, there is a probability of appearance in 2019 models with a diesel unit with a capacity of 130 hp, and a turbocharged gasoline unit of 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 160 hp

Description Nissan Cascai

The new model received from the designers "muscular" the appearance, the "predatory ruffle" of the radiator lattice, the massive bottom of the body with a protective body kit. The big air intake gives the car sports traits, and the massive rear bumper causes a sense of security and confidence.

Frankly pleases a large and roomy interior, where the driver and passengers of high height can be accommodated. Designers successfully connected in it the mood of the family car with the appearance of the plane cabin, where everything is under the control of the pilot.

The decoration of the cabin is made beautifully and tastefully - fabric, leather and soft plastic are constructed in the classic color scheme, please the eye, and are pleasant to the touch.

The salon is clearly tracked by the separation of the driver's working area, and the passenger compartment. All basic function buttons are placed around the steering column. The readings of all devices are easily read by the driver.

Ergonomics of the seats at a high level: when they were created, aviation developments were used, which ensured the high ease of landing of the driver and passengers. The seats also introduced a technology that improves the bloodstream at the bottom of the back.

A pleasant feature is the system of eliminating body fluctuations, following the coating of the road, its waves. Electronics catches certain vibrations, and automatically slows down in the right places.

The Japanese brand Nissan has always had many fans, but the conservative European market models made their way with difficulty. Seeing the success of Toyota Rav4, in Nissan conceived the model is not less successful. And they succeeded at least in the Russian market.

Nissan Qashqai is the bestseller of the domestic market. He went on sale in 2006 and was accepted on "Hurray." The Japanese managed to make a typical European car, by the way, developed it in Europe (in England). When creating a model, a technology similar to the development of Ford is used - computer design that allows less real tests of certain elements. The name of the car received a trace of Tuareg, in honor of the nomadic tribes of Asia. According to the engineers, Nissankashki was created for the city, but it laid a large margin of safety, so that he would not leave and off-road. For strong body and sufficient set of active and passive security tools, Cascai received 5 stars in European crash test.

The first generation of the car from 2006 to 2010

As befits a city car, the first generation of the crossover is not distinguished by large sizes and here Nissan Casca technical characteristics have the following:

length 4310 mm
width of 1780 mm
height 1610 mm
180 mm clearance
wheelbase 2630 mm
the volume of the luggage compartment from 352 to 1513 liters
tank volume 65 l
mass in an unloaded condition 1410 kg
full weight of 1930 kg.

According to the calculations of Japanese engineers, these proportions are ideal for the city crossover. And most competitors initially took the sizes of Kashka for reference. But in order to cover those buyers who want a car slightly larger than the extended modification called Casca + 2, it had dimensions:

length 4525 mm
width 1783 mm
height 1645 mm
clearance 200 mm
wheel base 2765 mm
volume of luggage compartment from 352 to 1520 l
tank volume 65 l
weight in an unloaded condition 1317 kg
full weight of 1830 kg.

For the first generation, four power units were installed:

diesel motor of 1.5 liters with a capacity of 105 hp Developed an impressive 240 Nm of traction and was very economical: consumption in the city was 6.2 liters, and on the highway 5 liters. But the dynamics was very mediocre - 12.2 seconds to 100 km / h. Gearbox - 6-speed mechanics. On Casca + 2 was not installed.
a gasoline unit with a capacity of 1.6 liters with a capacity of 115 hp, with a torque of 156 nm. Such an engine worked only with a 5-step mechanic. Like the basic diesel engine, this initial gasoline motor is driving without a light, and accelerates reluctantly - in 12 seconds to 100 km / h, consuming 8.4 liters.
2.0 Diesel with a capacity of 150 hp, with a torque of 320 nm. In front of the basic half-liter diesel, it was not highlighted by a special dynamics - 12 seconds to 100 km / h, but was more "voracious", on average by 15%. But it was this unit that was completed with a complete drive and a classic machine for the 6th steps, so the demand for it was always.
2.0 Top gasoline motor, which accounted for 70% of sales. Power 141 hp, torque 198 nm, consumption up to 100 km / h in 10.1 p. Fuel consumption is only 10.7 liters in the city and 6.6 liters on the track. The car with such an engine could be purchased with both mechanics and a variator.
Only gasoline aggregates with a capacity of 1.6 and 2.0 liters were supplied to Russia. The most popular was the 2-liter version, which was unpretentious to the quality of the fuel.

Second generation of the car since 2010

In 2010, the fashion faislifting was held. Representatives of Nissan traditionally listens to the opinion of Russian buyers, so the delegation from Japan visited our country and familiarized himself with the opinion of our compatriots.

Technical characteristics of Nissan Casca after the update:

length 4330 mm
width of 1780 mm
height 1615 mm
clearance 200 mm
wheelbase 2630 mm
volume of luggage compartment from 400 to 1513 liters
tank volume 65 l
weight in an unloaded state 1298 kg
full weight of 1830 kg.

The model platform remains the same, and the wheelbase has not changed. But Casca frightened in length by 30 mm, it became 20 mm higher from the ground and at the same time became easier for a whole centner. External changes were mainly affected by the front part, where new, more aggressive headlight lighting is installed, recycled the shape of the hood, wings and lattice of radiators. Since there were no complaints about manageability, the developers improved noise insulation and slightly changed the suspension settings.

Cascai + 2 also changed and has the following dimensions:

length 4541 mm
width of 1780 mm
height 1645 mm
clearance 200 mm
wheel base 2765 mm
the volume of the luggage compartment from 130 to 1513 liters
tank volume 65 l
weight in unloaded condition 1404 kg
full weight of 2078 kg.

Compare from the elongated Nissan Casca. Specifications: Clearance increased by 2 cm, which, according to the owners, the owners markedly facilitated the congresses on the ground, as well as movement along the snow-covered road. Thanks to the modified form of bumper, Casca will no longer enhance the snow, but sends it under the bottom of the car. Another of the innovations of the version of Casca + 2 is the ability to set the third row of seats.

The second generation was completely lost to diesel units, now only two gasoline units are available to the choice of buyers:

1.6 l with a capacity of 114 and 117 hp torque in 156 and 158 nm. Both engines differed in the gearbox, the younger version was aggregated only by mechanics, and the senior variator. Dynamics on mechanics - 11.8 s to 100 km / h, on the variator - 13 s.
2.0 with a capacity of 141 hp - unchanged with the first generation. For him, as before, mechanics were installed (6 steps) and the variator.

Four-wheel drive

The system of full drive in Nissan crossovers is the same regardless of the model. It has a classic formula - front-wheel drive car with connected electronics rear-wheel drive. But in contrast to most competitors, the driver's driver can control the drive using the Lock key, which closes the full drive clutch and the car becomes forcibly all-wheel drive.

If you give everything to the deposit of electronics, it is enough 0.1 seconds from the start of the slip to connect the rear wheels. The mass of the full Kashka drive - 70 kg. On the leading 4 wheels, Casca can move only to 40 km / h, after a four-wheel drive turns off.

Configuration and prices of 2013

Cascai on the domestic market is sold in 5 equipment:

Xe - from 789,000 to 991 000 r. Includes Standard Equipment: ABS, NissanBrakeassist and EBD, ESP, Frontalone and Side Airbags, Security Cords, Auto-Locking Doors, Central Castle, Headlight washer, EUR, Immobilizer, Sitting, Full Watercolor Watercap, Heated Seats, Fabric Salon, Air Conditioning , Magnetola with 4 speakers and Bluetooth, 16th steel discs.

360 - from 937,000 to 1,139 000 p, this equipment is complemented by the following options: 18th Alloy wheels, panoramic roof, tinting of glasses, trimmed with skin armrests and a 360-degree brand system with 4 cameras.
Le + - from 1,029,000 to 1,176,000 p. Additionally includes: an access system without a key and starting from the button, trim seats of leather, BOSE audio system and headlight xenon headlights.
All configurations are combined with any engine, gearbox and transmission. Version +2 has similar configuration, but optionally has a third row of seats.

Conclusion

Nissan Cascai made a name to himself when the main competitors were in the stage of prototypes. For the Russian market, it is a bestseller and sold in the amount of 35 thousand pieces per year, all this is due to balanced technical characteristics, effective full drive and a reasonable price. It is also worth noting that the version of Casca + 2 with its 7-seater salon is cheaper than any other analogue, approximately 100 thousand rubles.

Not far from the corner and the next update. It is noted that the new model will have a different platform and get engines with a turbine.

Since its appearance - in October 2006, at the Paris Motor Show - a crossover Nissan Qashqai was able not only to create a "new car subclass", but also to become an absolute leader in the segment created by him "Pioneer" - Nissan Cascai, still, confidently "takes its upper lines" (by the number of copies sold).

This car, with his "birth", was so successful that he eventually demanded only the "cosmetic restyling" - which was held at the end of 2009, which predictably heated, naturally fading, the interest of motorists to Qashqai.

The appearance of this car demonstrates "confidence and pressure" - by hanging it with all the "attributes" of the crossover (i.e. "fashionable", but looking like a "full-fledged oscidence": the high five-door body "A la Hatchback"; small front and rear swells and Plastic protection from unscreed plastic around the perimeter.

Nissan Qashqai, of course, has already been given on Russian roads, but never ceases to delight with his "simple unisex design." Front lighting with "rectangular" block headlights located at extreme points of the body, the powerful bumper with the lower additional air intake is made of two parts (the top painted in the body color and harmoniously contrasts with the bottom - in cross-handed plastic and beautiful "enemy" anti-stamped plastic) . The falseradiator grille is closed by an openwork grid and carries a chrome insert with the Nissan logo. The hood with two characteristic ribs, strongly "digested" front-racks of the body, almost flat roof line, frying feed ... profile - with harmonious sidewalls, "circular" wheel arches (accommodating wheels R16-R18) and high subcast line. Roof line and swelling up the glazing line - "form" a powerful rear rack, giving the food of this crossover a special solidity.

Well, the back part of "Qashqai" - with a large door of the luggage compartment, neat beams of overall lights with trendy LED lamps, a bumper (protected plastic - as if the "serious SUV".

Dimensions "Kashka" of the 1st generation make up: length - 4330 mm, width - 1780 mm, height - 1615 mm, wheelbase - 2630 mm, ground clearance - 200 mm.

Inside, Nissan Cascaia demonstrates a simple and functional salon for five passengers. By the way, the for whom "five places is little" - there is a seven-known version, called "Qashqai + 2" (a separate review is devoted to it).

The three-spoke steering wheel goes into hand, the steering column is adjustable in height and depth. Informative appliances with a large TFT-monitor onboard computer, front torpedo and a central console with simple lines and a classic arrangement of controls. The front seats are designed for a calm ride (not a sports profile) with a soft pillow, but thanks to a good range of adjustments allow you to comfortably accommodate the driver and passenger. In the second row of the place enough passengers of the middle bodies (the place for the legs is enough, the ceiling is high, sit comfortable).

The trunk allows you to transport from 410 to 1513 liters depending on the "layouts" of the rear seats.

Specifications. In Russia, Nissan Cascai is offered with gasoline units: 1.6 liters. (114 hp) with 5 MKP; 1.6 liters (117 hp) with CVT and 2.0 liters. (141 hp) with 6 MCP or CVT variator.

Nissan Cascais 1.6 A priori front-wheel drive, version with a 2.0-liter motor may have front-wheel drive (2WD) or full (4WD) with the company Nissanovskaya system ALL MODE 4x4.

Front suspension independent - MacPherson racks, rear multi-dimensional is also independent. Disk brakes with ABC, Brake Assist and EBD, with ESP stabilization system, steering with electric power.

In terms of running qualities - Nissan Qashqai 1.6 (114 hp / 117 hp) 2wd is a typical front-wheel drive hatchback with energy-intensive and loyal to a bad road coating with a suspension. Several spoils the impression "artificiality" of the steering (without sharpness and intelligent feedback), and the power of the motor is sometimes not enough ...

Nissan Cascai is a Japanese car that was fully created in Europe. Together with Microvon Note, a compact crossover was to replace Almera as the company's sold car. So actually happened - in 2012 and 2013, the car has become one of 10 in the ranking of the best-selling machines.

In 2006 he got on the conveyors and went into mass production. However, not in all markets, it became known as Qashqai. In the US, he went like Rogue, but in Australia cars drove under the same name as in the inner Japanese market - Dualis.

In 2008, an enlarged version of Qashqai was released, which became longer by 211 mm and accommodated the 3rd row of seats. The rest of the car remained the same, but it could be boldly to rank with family machines.
