Kia Sportage or Nissan Qashqai: comparison and which is better. Nissan Qashqai or Kia Sportage: choosing a crossover Which is better Nissan Qashqai or Kia Sportage

Has become even more spectacular with new grid radiator and front bumper, cut by a chrome "saber". And the strip of lanterns in the back reminds even more of Porsche cayenne... Isn't that why they charged us more for Kia at car washes than for Nissan?

It is unlikely that this is due to the fact that the Qashqai is 9 centimeters shorter than the Sportage - visually it does not seem smaller, only the low hood catches the eye. And Nissan after the update is clearly prettier - new optics with spectacular diode "ticks" and a radiator grill have rejuvenated the "face".

The salons of both crossovers have hardly changed - both Kia and Nissan now have new steering wheels, and the Nissan one is inconvenient due to the rim beveled at the bottom. It looks good, but the hand regularly "misses" if you turn it with an interception - and this has to be done more often than in the Kia, where the steering wheel makes fewer turns from lock to lock.

The main novelty in the Nissan salon is the Yandex. Auto "like those that are put in carsharing cars. The navigator is already "wired" into it and there is a connection to the Internet, so the Yandex. Radio "is convenient and you can customize it for yourself. If you like the track, you like it, and the system starts offering similar music. But it takes a long time to load, and Qashqai also surprises with the catastrophically low resolution of the rear-view camera - in 2019 even the Lada has a better picture ...

Kia Lux does not offer navigation, and the screen is much smaller than in the Nissan, but there is support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, the Sportage is more convenient inside in terms of gadgets and small things - there are 2 12-volt sockets in front, niches and cup holders are successfully grouped. And the buttons for heating the seats and the steering wheel are in a more logical place - they are literally scattered around the cabin at Kashkai, and the heating of the rear sofa is turned on with a button on the central tunnel.

Dynamics don't inspire

The most powerful engine that is offered in Russia for "Kashkai" is a 144-horsepower 2.0, so we also took Kia with a two-liter engine. Moreover, this is generally the most popular version. crossover Sportage- 2.0, 150 forces and machine gun. Although the Sport prefix in the model name is completely superfluous here ...

Kia is lazy at the start, then, as if coming to his senses, quickly throws the speedometer needle up to city 80 km / h and falls asleep again. And on the track - and at all melancholy. After a hundred, it very slowly accelerates to the passport 180 km / h under the roar of the engine and the noise of the air being cut. In addition, on 17-inch wheels, the Sportage becomes sensitive to crosswinds due to the higher tire profile.

Nissan Qashqai

There is another route nuance - if you set the cruise control to 150 km / h (this can be done with 130 km / h permitted on some highways and do not wait for fines), then the machine often jumps into fifth gear, since the engine simply does not pull into sixth! Hence - increased consumption fuel, up to 12 l / 100 km. Therefore, it is better to immediately switch to manual mode - then the highest stage will not go anywhere, although the Kia will lose speed if you go uphill.

Nissan with a CVT is deprived of this problem, although it cannot be called a good track car - it still has the same disadvantages: weak motor, dislike of ruts and an average level of sound insulation. But in the city Qashqai is good - no laziness, quick responses to the gas pedal, linear traction. Still, the steering wheel is "sharper" ... However, the impressions turned out to be deceiving - according to the passport, Qashqai should go faster than Kia (10.5 seconds versus 11.6) and feel like a more lively car, but the Racelogic device cannot be fooled.

Nissan Qashqai

I turn it on, make a few starts. Kia almost fits into the passport indicators, and Nissan turned out to be slower, almost falling out in 12 seconds to a hundred. Although the further acceleration to 130 km / h is more shocking - long 19-20 seconds for both cars. Very slow! At the same time, crossovers do not differ in particular efficiency - fuel consumption in the combined cycle was about 10 l / 100 km. But both engines can be “fed” with AI-92 gasoline.

And under the hood of "Nissan" the engine is asking for a more powerful engine - it is controlled no worse than ordinary sedans and hatchbacks, 18-inch Michelin tires Primacy 3 allows you to "tumble" into corners at very good speeds, but there is almost no roll. Kia also pleases with "light" habits, but even here it feels more lazy. In addition, due to the worse visibility, the Sportage is less comfortable in city traffic and in courtyards.

The choice of a new crossover forces us to approach this business as carefully and responsibly as possible, especially considering the cost of modern SUVs. So in this case, the error must be ruled out. But what if there is no single candidate for the acquisition and there is a hesitation between? So who is who - Korean or Japanese?

Dimensions (edit)

In this respect, both crossovers are roughly equivalent. Nissan's length of 4,377 mm is almost as good as 4,440 mm for the Kia. Roughly the same ratio in width and height. And here ground clearance Kashkai has much more - 200 mm versus only 167 for Sportidge. Therefore, outside the track, the first SUV is preferable, as well as when storming city obstacles.

Exterior

It will not be possible to single out the winner here, because each applicant is beautiful in his own way. Nissan Qashqai, like a true nomad, grows prettier from year to year, while the KIA Sportage takes on the swiftness of its image. Of course, you can blame the Nissan Qashqai for excessive corporatism, as a result of which it is difficult, but you should not pay attention to this. After all, the solid appearance, with a thoroughbred front end, decorated with sharpened optics and a powerful air intake, is impressive, as well as the profile with expressive stamping and shiny moldings, as well as the stern with its large taillights.

Kia is a little different. He seemed to be preparing to jump and froze at the ready. The front end is squinting with proprietary optics, with a grille, edged with chrome edging, and a bizarre shape fog lights... The profile of the KIA Sportage is solid and restrained, fodder lean. Moreover, the fifth door stands out precisely for its integrity and the absence of sharp protrusions, and the door collars are located in the rear bumper, which is a little unusual. Here it is just right to recall the words of Kia marketers, which are positioned in essence, but not in appearance.

Specifications

Engines

In this regard, it is worth giving the advantage to the KIA Sportage. He has more motors, and their range is wider. Nissan can only offer buyers a couple gasoline units... These are in-line 16 valves.

The first in the Nissan Qashqai is a turbocharged engine with a modest 1.2-liter displacement. However, its output is 115 liters. from. at 4,500 rpm is quite enough for a crossover, as it is supported by 190 Nm of torque. With it, the car accelerates to a hundred in 10.9 seconds, which is not so bad. And the consumption in mixed mode will be 6.2 liters.

But the 2-liter aspirated engine looks much better and more prestigious on Qashqai. Its power is noticeably higher - 144 hp. with., although available at 6,000 rpm. But the advantage in thrust is not so great - only 10 "newtons" (200 Nm of torque). With them, the crossover is one second more dynamic - 9.9 seconds. up to a hundred, but also 1.5 liters more voracious, consuming about 7.7 liters in a similar mode.

Video: New SPORTAGE vs QASHQAI 2018 what are they capable of?

In the arsenal of the KIA Sportage, in addition to the 2-liter atmospheric gasoline engine, there is also a pair of turbodiesels of the same volume, which is important in Russian realities.

The gasoline 16-valve engine produces 150 horses at 6,200 rpm, as well as 191 Nm of torque at 4,700 rpm. In acceleration to a hundred, it is slightly inferior to its counterpart - 10.7 seconds. However, this distinction is not essential. And its consumption is slightly higher - the mixed mode makes you drink from a tank of 8.5 liters.

The first turbodiesel produces 136 horses in the range from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm, and also has an impressive torque of 320 Nm, which is available from the very beginning - from 1,250 to 2,750 rpm. At the same time, his acceleration is quite decent - he gains a hundred in 11.1 seconds, but the appetite of 5.5 liters is really attractive.

But the best is the 184-horsepower solar engine. Its peak power is also available at 4,000 rpm, and the torque can only be envied - as much as 392 Nm! Moreover, it is available in the running range - from 1,800 to 2,500 rpm. With such an engine, Kia is on an equal footing with a 2-liter Qashqai - a set of hundred parts requires only 9.8 seconds. at a flow rate of 6.9 liters!

In general, a wider selection ensures the victory of the Kia Sportage in this respect. On the other hand, Nissan Qashqai clearly refutes the postulate that it is impossible to succeed in Russian market without listing diesel engines- Japanese crossover is actively sold without them.

Transmission

Can be offered to the driver as a traditional mechanical box and automation. But if Kia has a classic automatic transmission, then a variator is relied on for Nissan.

"Mechanics" Sportage is not bad - it switches smoothly, and the gears do not fly out. The location of the lever is optimal, but its moves could be smaller - sometimes it is inconvenient to use it due to excessive sweeping. In addition, the manual transmission is distinguished by some selectivity.

The mechanical transmission of the Qashqai is also not infallible. On the one hand, it has a lot of advantages - smooth lever travel, short shifts, optimally matched gear ratios. However, the picture is spoiled by the indistinct inclusion of odd gears. Of course, such situations do not arise all the time, but nevertheless.

Automatic boxes are also great. The transmission from Hyundai-KIA performs well on a heavy crossover, thanks to which many note that for a 2-liter gasoline engine it is preferable to "mechanics". During a quiet movement, the operation of the 6-band automatic transmission is completely difficult to notice. It is equipped with the ability to activate manual mode, however, reaching the maximum speed will provoke it to shift to an upshift on its own.

The Xtronic variator of the Nissan Qashqai also deserves attention, because its settings were carried out with an orientation to the Multitronic from Audi, which sets the tone in this direction. And Nissan engineers claim that they even managed to surpass the Germans. Their variator simulates the operation of a torque converter automatic transmission and has 7 virtual gears. They are all the more noticeable, the more aggressive the driver's driving style, but if you switch the box to manual mode, then it will have a similar effect initially. This was achieved through the use of a new oil pump in the variator design, which guarantees increased oil pressure.

Chassis

Structurally, the suspension of the models is identical - this is a rear multi-link scheme, as well as McPherson struts in the front. Both cars have both front and all-wheel drive, which is transmitted through a special clutch - for Nissan it is electromagnetic (All Mode system), and for KIA Sportage it is electro-hydraulic. However, the settings are different, which is why the handling of the crossovers is somewhat different. If Qashqai strives to guarantee a perfected taxiing, then KIA behaves more liberally.

The new Nissan has definitely become tougher. Because of this, even more imperfections in the road surface "penetrate" into the interior, reflecting in shocks and noticeable vibrations. But this is compensated by the almost absent body roll in corners, as well as a sharper reaction to the driver's commands. But the effect of the adaptive chassis settings is not to be seen. The tendency of the crossover to drift the front axle during cornering has also been preserved. So the new Qashqai has become a little sharper than the first. The lateral rolls of the machine are saved on minimum level, but electric amplifier fails to provide the driver with clear enough feedback. Please and brakes, which have become noticeably more informative.

But Kia, against the background of Kashkai, pleases with its softness, reflecting family values, which marketers are guiding the car to. Excessive information content in the control is not observed, although the steering wheel is quite sharp - from lock to lock it has less than 3 revolutions. However, this does not prevent the body from swaying a little and heeling in corners. Some are intimidated by a likely breakdown rear axle on serpentines, but similar crossover does not allow himself, even if you have to slow down in a bend. However, there is a tendency to drift.

Interior

Here, a different approach to the execution of the inner world of crossovers is noticeable. While Sportage has a noticeable touch of Korean style, the Qashqai is crafted in a European spirit. Nissan responds to the smooth and rounded outlines inside the Kia with smooth geometric lines, and the location of the central air vents resembles those in Renault models. In addition, the Japanese boasts excellent informational content. dashboard, as well as a stylish combination of plastic and dashboard inserts. His chairs are very comfortable and upholstered with noble material, and instead of a lever parking brake there is an electronic key.

The interior of the KIA Sportage is characterized by smooth transitions, and the dashboard impresses with spectacular wells. However, this is not a hindrance for reading. The 3-spoke steering wheel is very comfortable, the center console is distinguished by well-thought-out ergonomic solutions, and the air vents quickly warm up and cool the interior.

In general, frank weak points the salons of both cars are not observed - high-quality finishing materials, well-thought-out ergonomics, good visibility, decent sound insulation, etc. This is complemented by generous trim levels.

Prices

The initial cost of the Nissan Qashqai is noticeably lower than the Sportige - 979,000 rubles. against 1,074,900 rubles. However, now Kia offers substantial discounts, and you can buy a car for 904,900 rubles! The price tag for a car with four-wheel drive starts at 1,323,000 rubles. for Nissan and 1 169 900 rubles. (1,039,000 rubles) for Kia with a gasoline engine. Top configurations estimated at 1,539,000 rubles. from Nissan Qashqai and 1 654 900 rubles. (1 524 900 rub.) For KIA Sportage.

By analogy with European BMW concerns and Audi, which have competed with each other throughout their history, in last year the struggle between the Asian giants has also intensified. This is especially true in relation to crossovers of companies. Today we will talk about the South Korean and Japanese SUVs, since we will compare Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai.

Kia Sportage can already be safely called a legendary crossover, since it has been produced since 1992, and has not lost its popularity to this day. The car entered the market in 1994 and immediately gained a foothold among the sales leaders. Interestingly, the debut version of the model was also available as a pickup truck. The second generation Sportage, which debuted in 2004, was also assembled at the Kaliningrad plant. In 2010, the Sportage 3 was presented, which the following year was recognized as the best crossover in Slovakia. In 2015, the fourth generation "Korean" was presented in Frankfurt, who was recognized as the most stylish in his class.

As for Qashqai, it has been pleasing its fans since 2006. Named after the Iranian steppe tribes, the car does an excellent job with its "nomadic" duties, as it is considered one of the best crossovers for long trips. The debut version, as it may sound, is designed entirely in Europe, and the main market for the model is European countries. In the fall of 2013, the second generation Qashqai was officially introduced, which is still considered one of the safest crossovers.

Since the Korean can boast of a longer career, we will give preference to him.

Appearance

If we compare the appearance of the latest modifications of the models, we get the following picture - the exterior of the Kia Sportage looks very bold and dynamic. Also, the developers added a little aggressiveness, which was lacking in the past. The front flaunts a branded false radiator grille, shaped like the wings of a bat. The elongated headlights of the head optics go right up to the hood, which, undoubtedly, looks very stylish from the side. A large air intake located on the front bumper provides the necessary cooling of the "filling" of the car. Also, I would like to note the smooth hood, which is the hallmark of the lineup.

From the side, everything is also very simple and stylish. On the doors, you can see smooth embossings, which are perfectly combined with voluminous wheel arches. As for the stern of the crossover, here the proprietary visor, which is a continuation of the roof, and large taillights made using LED technology immediately catch the eye. The embossed tailgate accommodates a small window and the corporate logo below it.

But in the exterior of Qashqai, the main emphasis is on its sportiness. The developers realized that they could not compete with the designers of Sportage, so they decided to surpass them in other ways. The front end is more lowered than the competitor. Here you can see a small grille with chrome elements and sharp-angled headlights of the head optics. The embossed bumper is equipped with a large air intake and stylish foglights. As for the hood, unlike its counterpart, it is very wide and embossed.

The side of the crossover is somewhat reminiscent of the Sportage profile. The same small stampings, volumetric arches and a sloping roof. From this perspective, it is also noticeable that Qashqai is clearly inferior to its competitor in its dimensions. Rear end japanese car looks more collected and complete than the "Korean". This was achieved by installing a raised trunk lid and an incredibly powerful bumper. However, this visor is almost the same as that of the Sportage.

Salon

Considering some similarity of car exteriors, no one was surprised by the fact that a lot of things in common can be seen in the interior. For example, it is almost identical to the ergonomics and layout of the dashboard. Except that the Sportage has a larger touchscreen display, however, in everything else, there is a suspicious similarity, which confirms the fact that both cars are Asian. And this is taking into account the fact that Qashqai was designed by European specialists. As for the steering wheels, they are also made in the same style.

Among the differences, I would like to immediately note the obvious difference in interior trim. If Qashqai used expensive, high-quality materials for this purpose, then the Korean developers relied on practicality. This, of course, affects the overall impression of the interior.

However, the Sportage salon, in turn, is much more spacious due to its incredible dimensions.

As a result, a completely contradictory situation develops, therefore, in comparing car interiors, the most logical result will be a draw.

Specifications

Sportage, for domestic market, is equipped with a two-liter gasoline engine, as well as diesels for 1.6 and 2.0 liters - they produce 150, 177 and 185 "horses", respectively. As for Qashqai, here are offered gasoline engines for 1.2 and 2.0 liters, with a capacity of 115 and 144 horse power and a 1.6 diesel with 130 hp.

If we talk about dimensions, then the Korean is 103 mm longer than his counterpart, 18 mm wider, and 50 mm higher. Also Sportage is on average 100 kg heavier than its competitor.

The average fuel consumption of the Sportage is 8.2 liters, while the Qashqai has 7.7 liters.

Concerning maximum speed overclocking, then y Japanese crossover this figure is 194 km / h, while the Sportage has 201 km / h.

If we say that it is better in terms of "filling" Nissan Qashqai 2016 or Kia Sportage 2017, then the second option looks more attractive.

Price

The minimum cost should not exceed 1,200,000 rubles. Nissan Qashqai in basic configuration will cost about 985,000 rubles. Considering that in terms of equipment, the Japanese is in no way inferior to its today's competitor, it looks like a more worthy option in terms of cost.

I want to share a review with a continuation from my former account under the nickname Panther (about Qashqai), from which I forgot my password during this time. I think my review will be useful to people who are faced with a choice of used Nissan Qashqai or new. I know what I am writing about, I have owned a car since 2008 (almost 6 years). Many idiots and just liars openly lie on the Internet, thereby confusing people. If you don't know, don't write like that. The Nissan Qashqai with a 1.6 engine on the mechanics goes like that! And it depends on what to compare. I was driving 160 km / h on the highway, but what's the point? With such a speed, hardly anyone moves constantly, and those who are an exception will not look at Qashqai. For family and work, he is irreplaceable. On the track he goes to overtake confidently, no fear that you will not have time.

They write about the stove that it does not heat (a mystery to me? It heats up and still heats up, but in cold weather, not immediately, but when the engine warms up, that is, you turned it on, but it will start working when the engine goes to working temperature... Usually it is not long 3-4 minutes in frost (the car rolled out of the garage, while the gate was closed and drove ~ 300 meters, you can warm up. But you do not forget about the heated seats (I am very freezing and it helps me a lot in cold weather while the car is warming up), bad that only the front seats, the Korean Sportidge also have rear ones. Therefore, in severe frosts (we had -30 and -35) for the child we warm up in advance. Starts up in winter without problems, even from the parking lot, and even more so from the garage.

We never got stuck on the front drive (there was somehow knee-deep snowfall, it was necessary to put the car in the garage, and so where we a little bit undermined with a shovel at the turn to pass, we drove after us no one drove). So the ground clearance of the car is correct. Everything changed for MOT (ordinary consumables) after 120,000 thousand mileage, the clutch was changed, the battery was changed after three winters (there were no problems with the plant of the car in the cold). Gasoline consumption in summer with traffic jams + climate = 8 ~ 8.5 liters; winter is the same + stove ~ 8.5. It never exceeded 9 liters. Route 5.7-6.4 up to 120 km / h, 6.4-7.2 130-140 km / h. For such a machine, I think that it is not enough at all. Was in front of this car "dvenashka" so the consumption of gasoline is the same, but the car is more.

Strengths:

• Reliable and comfortable

Weak sides:

• The leather on the steering wheel is full of bullshit

Review of Nissan Qashqai 2.0 (Nissan Qashqai) 2008

I got the car in och good condition, 2008gv, in the showroom was bought at the beginning of 2009, 6MKPP, SE +. Previous owner Loved him, in winter he did not go, maybe it was a summer car for him. Winter Wheels we bought it ourselves, we also installed a self-winding alarm. On the winter wheels traveled only one winter. In the summer, there are two seasons, but I erased them very well, despite the fact that they were breeches. For the new season, I would have to buy new summer ones. Also the stone was broken windshield, the owner installed a new, original one, as a result, the rain sensor did not work. Why? Even OD could not explain this to me. Of course, I compared this car with the Rav4, which was before. The turning radius seemed too big, where on the rough you easily turn and only one turn of the steering wheel is enough, on Qashqai you had to contrive. Also in the Rafa it is somewhat more spacious in the cabin, the roof is higher, you sit higher, although the ground clearance is almost the same. In Qashqai, the roof presses directly, you can hit your forehead with a visor, for example. About the suspension .. Qashqai sways slightly on the bumps, like a cradle. At first I even got seasick. During operation in Qashqai, the racks were changed once. They are not expensive, about 900 rubles. On juke (which I own now), for example, candles change every TO, I don't know whether it's a divorce or not, and whether it should be done. On Qashqai, I changed the candles once for 50 thousand run. There were a lot of minor troubles all the time. First, the driver's door handle broke from the inside. We ordered a Chinese one, the price is 3500. They put it, not to be distinguished from the native one. Then, at the sink, ATTENTION, they tore off the tailgate handle .. I bought it on auto-parsing from kashkay2, for 1500r + 1000 painting and installation, everything was done in one place. Quite cheaply. Then something creaked in the bottom, and at the same time, as if the box was shaking. At the diagnosis they said that the muffler ring had to be replaced .. and the engine support broke, also a replacement. How is that? Why? It is worth noting that before buying a car, they were diagnosed on all counts and everything was normal. So I somehow managed to break it? But I don’t jump over bumps, I don’t drive off-road, I don’t carry bags and loads ... At that time, we changed a lot of little things, in principle, all the repairs came out a little less than 10 thousand. Neither more nor less, but it was not pleasant. The car was mine, and I followed it carefully, went to diagnostics myself, looked for spare parts myself, there was a lot of time to do this. The next time I noticed that when you drive a car, you warm it up well, then under the hood in the engine some kind of knocking is heard (mileage is about 70 thousand). For a long time no one could understand what was the matter, while on Idling did not try to squeeze the clutch and realized that the sound disappears. Our service said that it is necessary to replace the bearing input shaft to my mind. But it's not a fact that the problem will disappear (on the forums they confirmed that this procedure does not always help), and only for parsing and collecting the box they asked 15 thousand, plus you need to buy bearings and it is better to change all that are there .. In addition to replacing the brake discs (mileage was already 90 thousand). The decision not to bother with repairs, but to sell the car while it drives well, came by itself. The machine was on sale for a long time for 3 months. As a result, they gave it to outbid for a pittance, added and bought a juk. Nothing to regret.

I liked the dynamics in the car, it holds the road well, we skidded an order of magnitude less (only 2 times and 1-2 minutes each) than this winter in Juke, what is the reason, I don’t understand. In terms of size, Qashqai is too big for me, I don't carry anyone, and I don't translate anything. They were willingly allowed on the roads, nevertheless, people perceive Qashqai more than Juq. Qashqai seemed colder to me than Rav4 and Dzhuk. In damp weather, the windows closed tightly, there was a feeling that something would break now. And in winter, they could not even be able to close on their own, they had to pull their hands up, pull the glass straight out, a nightmare of course. I have not seen this in any car. There were no glitches on the electronics, it started up in any frost. We can only guess what will happen with this machine. Fuel consumption was 10.5 liters in winter and summer. The climate worked properly. Low beam bulbs often burned out, literally every month. I have already bought light bulbs in reserve, the houses are still lying, the backlight also burned out rear room, for this they were even fined once. I didn't like the 6 speed gearbox. The gears are short, I was tormented by endlessly pulling the handle. It was especially inconvenient on the track. I missed all-wheel drive... Still, this is not a superfluous gadget, it is strange that I have enough power on the Juke, and I remember the lack of all-wheel drive only in winter in a mess, when I drag it along the road .. In my SE + kit in Qashqai, I lacked mp3 in the radio and a flash drive. By the way, the sound of the speakers in Qashqai is louder than in Juke. Also, the Qashqai had very comfortable seats for me, with a lumbar support (there is no lumbar support in the dzhuk, the back hurts and gets tired) moderately soft, the seats are hardish.

The second time I would not want to enter this river, and I will not take Qashqai without a guarantee. In general, in my opinion, Nissan is good as long as it is covered by the warranty. Good luck to everyone on the road.

Strengths:

• Suitable for a family. There is a lot to fit in the trunk, but for me it was too much. Good road holding, never let down on the road, always started up, almost never got stuck, electronics did not buggy

Weak sides:

• I was pursued by minor unpleasant breakdowns. Maybe just not very lucky with the car. Rattle machine, I really hate it

Review of Nissan Qashqai + 2 2.0 (Nissan Qashqai 2) 2012 Part 7

So, the car is 2 years old. Mileage 44 thousand km.

What happened:

- replacement of the standard head unit and standard speakers. The sound did not suit me at all. After 2 years, there are no complaints about the non-standard Chinese head unit, well done Chinese. I changed my head myself, there is nothing with

When choosing a car, they always think about comparing similar brands from the most different manufacturers... In some situations, the pros and cons are obvious, in others they are almost invisible. In order to identify the advantages and disadvantages of one machine from another, a detailed analysis of the various available characteristics should be carried out. Such an analysis, together with personal choice and multiple reviews of car owners, will help to make right choice.

In this review, I will talk about two rival concerns - Kia and Nissan, and which car is worthy of your attention.

The Japanese model has a fairly up-to-date exterior. In appearance, restraint and practicality are considered. The rounded lines characteristic of the Japanese body make the car optically "calm" and very large.

In the Korean, the appearance is somewhat more aggressive. According to some car enthusiasts, the exterior of the car is now more aerodynamic. The aggressiveness of the car is given by some uneven parts of the body. The curved and shaded hood together with the raised front bumper make the car optically smaller, slightly lighter and faster.

Interior Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage

The interior of both machines has a completely different approach to execution. In the Korean there are smooth and rounded lines, in the Japanese there are even outlines, and the placement of the air deflectors in the center is similar to the Renault brands. In addition, Nissan has a perfect, easily perceived dashboard, as well as a fashionable combination of plastic inserts in the dashboard. The seats are very comfortable and upholstered with high-quality material, and an electronic button was installed to replace the "handbrake".

As for the Korean, smooth transitions prevail inside, and the dashboard impresses with original wells. Three-spoke steering wheel comfortable, the console in the center has well-thought-out technological solutions, the airflow deflectors very quickly heat or cool the interior of the car.

Generally, weaknesses inside both cars are not observed - fairly high-quality finishing materials, balanced ergonomics, good sound insulation, and so on.
