Both cars belong to a concern from Japan.
Machines with new characteristics and parameters, improved qualities of external and internal appearance.
In the new look of the Nissan Qashqai, you can immediately see modern design. In the image you can see a large and elegant hood, below it is a radiator grill framed by a chrome strip. To the side of it is a pointed optic with a chic drag-like finish. stones. The “harsh” bumper has been completely updated, thanks to which the air intake section has increased. And the C-like DRLs with LEDs complete the look.
The stern is made in the same style as the front. The same smooth lines of ribs and broken outlines of the bumper. A powerful luggage cover divides the LED optics into two parts - it goes to the sides.
As for the Nissan Terrano, in its appearance you can see a hood with 2 stamped ribs, large lighting equipment in the form of diamonds and an updated chrome grille. Updated look creates a solid, chic image. The bumper itself looks aggressive, with many beautiful transitions and deep “eye sockets” of “foglights”.
In the side part you can see the bulging wheel arches, a severe stamping edge that runs from the bottom of the doors and large windows.
At the stern we see a 6-coal window and a powerful fifth door. Large optics of non-standard shape.
Interior Nissan Qashqai and Nissan Terrano
Inside the Nissan Qashqai can accommodate 5 people. It will be convenient only for the driver and passenger, since the clearance has decreased, passengers on the back sofa will have to make room. The front console is 3-tiered, it has 2 deflectors and an instrument panel with a small on-board computer display. Still, in the middle is a 7-inch. touchscreen multimedia systems. It is also worth noting that the driver now has a multifunction steering wheel.
The interior is finished with very high quality soft plastic. Inside you can see decorative aluminum parts. Comfortable sports seats are upholstered in a material that imitates real leather.
Inside the Nissan Terrano, as the owners say, it is quite spacious. The salon is trimmed with expensive materials and high-quality plastic elements. The steering wheel is not multifunctional, but has an excellent grip. Original instrument panel with red backlight. In the middle of the front panel there are 2 massive deflectors. A little lower is a small touch screen and control keys.
The driver's seat is large, deep with good lateral support and many electrical adjustments. The rear sofa can easily accommodate 3 people, it unfolds to increase the luggage compartment.

Trunk Nissan Qashqai and Nissan Terrano
The trunk of the Nissan Qashqai is designed for 1513 liters. The trunk of the Nissan Terrano is designed for 1636 liters.
Outcome
Both cars are completed to perfection. Nissan Qashqai is much more expensive. And you choose.
Comparing two crossovers of different classes with each other is not entirely advisable and obviously losing for a more affordable version, but we still take a chance and compare Nissan Terrano and new nissan Qashqai. If the first car is essentially a slightly improved version with exactly the same line of engines and transmissions, then the Qashqai of the new generation received, not only, in our opinion, more interesting appearance, but also a much more modern line of motors.
Let's talk a little about appearance.
Terrano has a fairly simple body, without any frills in the form of complex stamping on the doors, the only thing that can attract connoisseurs of an “off-road” image is massive wheel arches and pseudo-footboards passing below, which do not carry any benefit other than visual. Once again, we repeat that the front of the 2014 Terrano, personally, very much reminds us of the design of an SUV. Nissan Pathfinder, which can certainly be attributed to the merits. Another interesting detail is the bumper, which has a slight bevel and protection, both by the way and Volkswagen Tiguan in the Track&Field package. Such a bumper allows you to storm off-road without fear of leaving it on the battlefield.
Needless to say, the new Qashqai looks more modern, partly due to the new modern optics, more complex body parts with smooth outlines. And in general, the 2nd generation Qashqai is made in a new corporate style, in which the new X-Trail and Murano also appeared, it is possible that Terrano will receive a similar appearance in the future, but it is too early to talk about this. Note that if Terrano remotely resembles a reduced SUV, then Qashqai is a full-fledged city dweller, who is not ashamed to drive up to a club or cafe.
Interior Design
Former and current Renault owners Duster, sitting behind the wheel of the new Nissan Terrano will not discover anything new, because. the interior design of the crossover produced under the Japanese brand is completely similar to the French counterpart.
The interior has some of the ergonomic kinks that the Duster was known for, but by and large, it's quite good. But if you choose a version almost in maximum configuration, the cost of which is approaching the mark of almost 1 million rubles, then of course there are a lot of things that you can find fault with.
The interior of the Qashqai is nothing compared to the Terrano, it looks and feels a lot more expensive. If aesthetic perception is in the first place for you, then the choice is certainly obvious.
Financial component
And finally, we turn to more important components when choosing, namely the price. In Russia it is 677,000 - 885,000 rubles, depending on the equipment and the selected configuration. While the cost Nissan Qashqai the second generation varies between 848,000 - 1,336,000 rubles. It turns out that a potential owner, if he suddenly chooses between these two models, will face the question of choosing either the Terrano in the maximum configuration, or the Qashqai in the minimum.
Specifications
When comparing these parameters, Qashqai is the undisputed leader, because. it is equipped with a more modern line of engines. The potential owner will be offered a choice of 2 petrol and one diesel engines. The first volume of 1.3 liters with a capacity of 115 hp, paired with manual transmission and front-wheel drive, a more powerful version will be available with a 144-hp 2.0-liter engine that is paired with either a manual transmission or a CVT. It is worth noting that the manual versions are only available with front-wheel drive, while the CVT versions will also be available with all-wheel drive. And finally diesel version Qashqai is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine with 130 hp, front-wheel drive and a CVT.
Terrano is currently available with two 1.6-liter petrol engines with a capacity of 102 hp. and 2.0 liter power unit 135 hp Potential owners have a choice between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, as well as a choice of transmission: either manual gearbox, or a standard 4-speed automatic.
Dimensions:
Nissan Qashqai - length 4377 mm., width 1837 mm., height 1595 mm., ground clearance 200 mm, trunk volume 430 l.
Nissan Terrano- length 4342 mm., width 1822 mm., height 1668 mm., ground clearance205 mm, trunk volume 475 l.
As we expected, the more modern Qashqai won this battle, but if we chose a crossover for fishing / hunting trips, then most likely we would prefer Terrano, which has more trunk, less overhangs and, most importantly, lower cost.
I don't really like this wording - a country with an emerging market. In fact, this means a country where the market has been developing for a long time, but will not develop in any way. For example, Russia. After all, it is here that people really want not just a crossover, but a crossover that is not as “rogue” as the Renault Duster. Well, here's a Nissan Terrano for you then, you wanted such a car.
On Terrano, I traveled a little more than five thousand kilometers in ten days. I visited St. Petersburg, Moscow, passed the M7 highway from Moscow to Naberezhnye Chelny, a small section of the M5 from Tatarstan to Bashkortostan, rode in both capitals and very small towns, on toll roads with a limit of 130 km / h and along country roads and mountains of the southern Urals . Traveled alone and with a full load, day, night, in the rain and under the bright sun. And one section of 2,200 km had to be driven non-stop in 30 hours. I think I got an absolutely accurate impression of the Nissan Terrano and now I know who will like this car and who will not. Most likely, Terrano will appeal to those who, in their own skin, feel the peculiarities of the constantly developing Russian market.
Dimensions (L / W / H)
4 315 / 1 822 / 1 695 mm
Of course, by and large, Terrano is really a slightly redesigned Duster. Cars are similar not only externally, but also internally. Here are the same gasoline engines with a volume of 1.6 (114 hp) or 2 liters (143 hp). With a younger engine, you can choose both full and front-wheel drive, but only with a six-speed manual transmission. But a two-liter engine is possible only with all-wheel drive, but you can choose the same manual or automatic transmission.
But outwardly, Terrano really looks like a metrosexual Duster. There are few changes, mainly in optics and bumpers, but they benefit the exterior of this car. This is especially noticeable at the rear: where Duster has a boring stamping on the fifth door, Terrano has lights that go to the fifth door from the rear sidewalls of the body. And in general, Nissan looks much more harmonious and more perfect than Renault.
Terrano, unlike the Juke, Qashqai and Murano crossovers, is positioned by Nissan as an SUV and is on a par with the X-Trail and Pathfinder. The statement, to be honest, is a little ambitious, but the Terrano has something from an SUV. First of all, of course, the name familiar to fans of jeeping from the old-school frame Nissan Terrano of the 1986 model. But all this beauty has remained in the past, and now the car, besides the name, does not have much from an SUV. By and large, only a sufficiently high ground clearance of 210 mm (in the all-wheel drive version) and a plug-in four-wheel drive All Mode 4×4, which I will discuss below.
Let's now sit in the car and repeat the entire route, remembering the behavior of Terrano in different road conditions.
In the stone jungle of Moscow
We get into the car almost in the center of Moscow. Our task is to leave from here to the M-7 highway. Open the door and climb into the driver's seat.
It's good that we got a car in the richest Tekna configuration. And at the moment of opening the door, the salon seems quite decent. Of course, do not forget that Terrano is very inexpensive crossover, only Duster is cheaper, so we will not make fantastic demands on him. So from the bottom of our hearts we begin to enjoy the leather interior. Although ... Even if they call it skin, then something in our life went wrong. However, the manufacturer does not hide the fact that "only the front surfaces of the seats are made of genuine leather." To be honest, this genuine leather does not cause delight either. Although I promised not to find fault, so let's appreciate that the skin is still there and sit on the seat.

We will evaluate the convenience of the seat a little later, on a long intercity race. Now let's set up the workplace.

I never complained about the length of the arms, but here it is a little lacking. Landing in Terrano will seem strange to many. There is a steering wheel adjustment, but only in one plane, it is impossible to adjust the reach for yourself. And this is bad: it is very close to the dashboard, so it's a long way to reach it. You can, of course, move the seat, but then you have to sit very close to the pedals. In a word, we are looking for a compromise between comfort for the legs or for the hands.
The quality of the plastic in the cabin is so-so. Unfortunately, the photograph of the ignition lock larvae is not very visible, but still pay attention: at the beginning of the test drive, the car had only five thousand kilometers, and the plastic around the larva looks like it was started with a screwdriver for the last five years. And the passenger airbag really shines through the plastic of the panel.
Now turn on the ignition and start the engine. At the turn of the key, not only comes to life dashboard, but also a seven-inch touch screen multifunctional multimedia navigation system. While standing still, we can set the route and set the music. There are no complaints about navigation, at least in the city. But the sound of the audio system is somewhat strange. Music from a flash drive plays well, but the radio works very mediocrely.

The sound of the four-cylinder good old F4R is heard quite clearly. I wonder what will happen on the track? And on our test car, the oil pan guard strums a little. On the one hand, of course, this is not very good, but on the other hand, it's just great that she is here: we have plans to go off the road and dig in the mud. It will certainly come in handy there.
The automatic transmission selector is a little loose, and we will attribute this minor drawback to the budget of the car. We leave the territory of the car dealership and head for the Moscow Ring Road.
Yes, you need to adjust the mirrors. Their joystick is located where only Renault can put it: under the parking brake lever. On the one hand, it is inconvenient, but on the other hand, how often do we use this device? Set up a review and forget.
Much more interesting is the control of the steering column switch for audio settings. It seems to me that its creators have never seen human fingers. Ergonomics? What is it in general? Sorry to take pictures reverse side this shovel is impossible, but take my word for it: there is suddenly a wheel for selecting stations or tuning the radio. Over time, it becomes convenient to use this lever, which once again confirms the truth of the thought of our Fyodor Dostoevsky: “A scoundrel-man gets used to everything!”
I can not complain that it was somehow uncomfortable to drive in the city. No, there was enough traction, the review was good ... True, we didn’t have a very good relationship with the box. Here it’s not that “old school”, rather, originally born outdated DP8. This box has two characteristic points: it is very cheap to manufacture and does not drive a damn thing. Especially for a long time, especially in heat or frost. And it’s also a four-speed, so you have to get used to the very tangible switching, and forget about fuel economy.
Consumption in the urban cycle is not too high for an all-wheel drive car - only about 9.5-10 liters. True, just the same all-wheel drive is now turned off: in the city it is not needed.
And here is the first Moscow cork. We sit, listen to music, cultivate hatred for people. And suddenly… Lord, save me! What is it, so your rastak ?! And, calmly: it turned on the fan. Budgeting has become even a little more tangible.
Everything in the world has a beginning and an end, even the resource of a Mercedes-Benz OM601 diesel engine and the Moscow traffic jam. Therefore, we are finally leaving for the M-7 highway.
From Moscow to Ufa
So, in the car there is only your obedient servant and an almost empty travel bag. Ahead - one and a half thousand kilometers. Let's see what Terrano will tell us on the track.
Gas to the floor - and flew! More precisely, they crawled. Nissan is simply not designed for active driving. And it's not even top speed(which, according to his passport, is 174 km / h, and in life - 155 with a fair wind). The root of evil is that every overtaking on it is an adventure. Let's say it's not a very good box. Let's try shifting gears by hand, shall we? No, it doesn't run either. But under the hood - 143 hp. What's the matter?
I would have been tormented by this question for a long time, if not for a random conversation in a company that deals with chip tuning. Several Dusters and Terranos with such engines have already been there. And the record power that they showed is ... 112 hp. and 180 Nm of torque instead of the promised 195. This is the power at the flywheel, recalculated from the wheel with a loss factor in the transmission of 25%.
Acceleration to 100 km/h
11.5 seconds
It is unlikely that there are such crazy losses in the transmission, which significantly exceed 25%, especially since there were similar results on cars with a “handle” and automatic transmission. Most likely, the motor was “strangled” for the sake of environmental standards. This is indirectly confirmed by the speed at which the maximum power is reached - 4,600 instead of the passport 5,750. However, the problem is solved by chipping, after which the promised horses almost in full force return to the herd (138 hp) An increase of 26 hp. on an atmospheric engine - something was done with the stock firmware.
I am slowly getting used to the idea that it will not be possible to fully “hit a car race on impassable roads and slovenliness”. Okay, let's vomit to the best of our ability. Meanwhile, night falls. And here Terrano deserves the highest praise: even with halogen headlights, the light is simply magnificent. Both near and far. And when in Tatarstan, Nissan and I got into the impenetrable morning fog, it turned out that fog lights It's not just there for beauty. Everything shines the way it should. The only thing that spoils the picture a little is the very quickly polluted headlights. But it became clear only later, when it started to rain. In the meantime, the heating of the windshield prevents reaching ecstasy. The mesh threads on it are harsh, so it ripples a little before your eyes.
On the border of Tatarstan and Bashkiria, there is the longest bridge in the world, which takes two hours to drive. In fact, of course, you can cross it in a minute, but the change of time zones passes through it, so if it’s one in the afternoon in Tatarstan, then it’s already three in Bashkiria. I drove across this bridge in the early morning. By that time, the M-7 was already behind me, and I was driving along the M-5 highway. The segment of amazing quality in Tataria was replaced by a monstrous Bashkir road. Probably, Salavat Yulaev himself rode on a horse exactly like this 230-240 years ago.
I need to go to the south of the republic, so we will not go through Ufa, although the navigator insistently demands to go first to Ufa, and then turn to Orenburg. I need to turn onto Belebey. For 80 kilometers, regular navigation haunted me with my fears of not reaching my destination. Even near Belebey, she offered me to return back to Ufa. But I didn't pay attention to her. And not only because he knew the way, but also because the screen of the multimedia system is almost invisible. It is below and right hand, if she holds the steering wheel, it blocks it. And the viewing angle is not conducive to long viewing.
Through towns and villages
It's no secret that good roads We don't have it everywhere. And where there are almost none, Terrano is almost irreplaceable (or we will replace Logan and Duster). The only remark is a slight knock during the reverse stroke of the front shock absorbers on serious obstacles. But in order to hear it, you have to be a beast who absolutely does not spare the car.
Of course, at high speed on a “killed” road, Terrano also does not keep even in a straight line, and it is contraindicated to turn the steering wheel there. But, as I already said, Nissam itself does not imply active movement, so there is no reason to be upset.
In narrow streets, it is especially felt that the steering wheel is not very light. But you can't say it's a problem. It is unlikely that fragile young ladies go to Terrano, and for normal men, the effort will seem quite acceptable.
But both young ladies and, I confess, men will like the presence of a rear-view camera in our configuration. In general, the Terrano looks quite large (especially in tight streets and in small courtyards), but it is very maneuverable, so driving and parking is easy. And with the camera - generally beauty.
The undoubted advantage of a small town is its proximity to nature. This is especially felt in cities, where there is nothing good but the surrounding nature. So, almost immediately, I was going to conquer on Terrano the surroundings of a town in the south of this beautiful republic.
First, let's try to ride along the old sand and gravel pits along the river, sung by Shevchuk - Agidel or Belaya. Steep descents and ascents are the elements of a crossover. Small overhangs allow you to ride as you like, the main thing is that there is something solid under the wheels. But if there is no solid ...
Another reversal. On the machine, the All Mode 4×4 transmission control washer is set to the Lock position. Now we have forced interaxle blocking enabled and even a special engine management program is activated. But suddenly the left front wheel hangs out a little, turns, and Terrano helplessly stops on an almost flat area.
A short walk along the river bank has borne fruit in the form of Nexia and her owner, ready to help. Nexia drove up from behind, but could not pull out the crossover: we were afraid to bury the Daewoo, and she had to retreat. Now the UAZ is in a hurry to help. Its owner, critically examining the Nissan, slightly pulled it forward.
- It didn't hurt and I dug in he remarked after the operation.
Yes, it doesn't hurt. But it's a shame: almost out of the blue! So much for All Mode 4×4.
If you think that this all-wheel drive helps on high-speed turns on the highway, then you are very mistaken: it only works up to 80 km / h, at higher speeds the all-wheel drive is turned off.
By the way, turning it on is also so-so fun. Access to the puck is blocked by the ashtray that we have in the kit, and if you put a glass or a bottle of water in the cup holder, it is also impossible to reach the ESP disable button.
These are the little things that Renault engineers are taught to create from birth spoil the whole picture. Why not adjust the intermittent wipers? Why not do the “one stroke” mode? Why is only one indicator displayed on the large digital scoreboard of the BC, and to find the information you need, you need to poke the button on the end of the right steering column switch in a circle? Why not make at least a primitive adjustment of the seat heating level? If you make a car out of Duster, then completely ...

So, they sat down on the sand right away. Let's get bold and go to the dirt. You know, he's on his way! All four wheels are rowing, and even on absolutely road tires Terrano rushing quite confidently. True, at the same time, it desperately throws mud and windshield, and headlights. But he's driving. The main thing is not to hang it diagonally.
But after a trip across the field, I thoughtfully looked at the radiator grill for a long time. You can stick your fingers in there, so there are fears that the radiator of the air conditioner in the conditions of suburban operation (and any other too) will not last long.

Ufa - Petersburg
From Ufa to St. Petersburg it was necessary to get there quickly. It is almost 2200 km and we will try to fly them all at once. Front long trip you need to be especially careful about adjusting the chair. There is already an imposing landing, when my overly plump 180-centimeter body is reclining in a chair, it’s no good. And not because it's inconvenient (it's just convenient for me), but because Terrano is a crossover. So it's impossible to sit there. It is better to raise the seat higher, since there is an elevator, and keep your posture.
Maybe the leather on the seats does not cause an attack of aesthetic ecstasy, but it is comfortable to sit on these seats. For the entire route, I went out only at gas stations, but neither my back fell off, nor other places, even more sensitive to landing. We put unequivocal respect for the Terrano chairs.
By the way, about gas stations. Giving me the car, the manager warned me: you need to fill in the 95th gasoline, but in extreme cases, you can also use a little 92nd. I confess, I was wondering how Nissan would go on the 92nd. Having left the tank on the 95th, I filled ten liters of the 92nd. Well, what can I say. Nothing changed. It didn't get better or worse. Therefore, at the nearest gas station, we add forty liters of the 95th and drive on.
By the way, about the expense. It all depends on speed. If you drive 90-100 km / h, then you can meet eight liters per hundred, and this is very good. But if you stomp 130, then almost 13 liters are displayed on the scoreboard. This, comrades, is an obvious overkill. On the average speed 110-120 (as we mostly drive outside the city) it turns out 9.5 liters. In general, you can live, especially considering that “Lenin saw” this motor. Still healthy.
Nissan Terrano
Claimed fuel consumption per 100 km
The first six hundred kilometers of the way back were covered in rain. I'm not even saying that the creators of those brushes that are on Terrano should be shot with a rusty pistol. Brushes that only smear water can be found on more expensive cars. But is it really impossible to find a normal supplier? There are dozens, maybe even hundreds of normal “janitors” in the world. Why do new cars usually have such ... disgrace?
Now you can even more accurately determine the features of the operation of the ICE-automatic transmission bundle. She has one unpleasant feature: upshifts occur at those speeds when the crossover is not yet in top gear. In other words, early. Although it seems to continue to turn the motor is also already useless. In any case, after each switch on the track, acceleration stops, after which it gradually activates.
But if you turn on the cruise control, a monster wakes up in Terrano. Switching suddenly begins not at 3,800 rpm, but at 5,000. And then he more or less rides, although he roars like an airplane on takeoff.
Now let's add some honey. On the way back, there were three adults and a child in the car. The trunk was stuffed under the roof (of course, I removed the shelf), but neither the consumption nor the dynamics got worse. Theoretically, you can drive with this engine: after all, two liters. In practice, of course, it should be cheered up with normal firmware. True, if the dealer finds out about this, you can say goodbye to the warranty.
To take or not to take?
I can't say for sure. Of course, Terrano looks much prettier than Duster. But it rides the same, but it costs more. If you don’t want to look like a “retiree in Renault” in the eyes of a little pretentious traffic participants, then Terrano is made for you. If you value practicality, then it is better to choose Duster.
Don't think that Nissan's all-wheel drive will make you the off-road king. There he would rather make a laughingstock. But sometimes it can help out, but not so much off-road, but on a slightly dirty country road or a road covered with snow (not heavily covered with snow). Here, its geometric cross-country ability is much more important, which, of course, is much better than that of a conventional “puzzer”. And yet I do not know why Terrano is bought, for example, in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Apparently, to go to the country, there is nothing more for this car to do there.
And do not forget that the ownership of Terrano is not a consignment note. It will practically not break and MOT is inexpensive. But if there is some gasoline in the blood, then do not even look in the direction of this car. Disappointed.
Some ergonomic miscalculations are easily compensated low cost, but the fact that at a speed of just over 130 eardrums burst at the seams is the case with all budget cars. Do not demand too much from Terrano, and then you will like him.
Terrano or Duster?
The popular crossover has gained well-deserved popularity among owners in the Russian Federation. However, with a big caveat - it is too important where the assembly took place. Regardless of the general standard of the Japanese brand, the difference between different industries is global.
Initially, Nissan Terrano was not planned for direct export to Russia. The model appeared on the roads in private and cost significantly more than in the world. After that, automobiles assembled by 4 factories began to be imported into the territory of the Russian Federation:
- headquarters in Japan;
- Samsung plant in South Korea;
- Nissan factory in Spain;
- UK, factory in Sunderland.
In the current state, cars from these countries practically do not appear on Russian market and are intended for domestic markets. Since 2013 this model was also supplied in the assembly of India (city of Oragadam), but at the time of 2018 the Russian market is served by domestic factories.
The emergence of Russian production
Since 2009, a plant has been opened in St. Petersburg, but Nissan Terrano was not assembled there. That day came in 2013 when Japanese manufacturer signed a contract with domestic manufacturer"Autoframos". This site is now fully sold to Renault, Nissan's French partner.
The first Terranos were delivered to showrooms in June 2014 in 4 trim levels. And at that moment, what was said above was revealed. The Spanish assembly against the background of the domestic one turned out to be simply terrible. The owners complained about welding defects, loud noise in the cabin when the engine is running, the grinding of components.
The second plant that produces Nissan Terrano was the Volga Automobile Plant. General feedback about all the cars in this series are quite positive. It so happened that the assembly of cars on Russian territory is qualitatively different from other factories for the better.

The 2018 Nissan Terrano has become more spacious, more comfortable to drive and more brutal in appearance. At the same time, the price range declared by the manufacturer is not too different from the cost of 5 years ago. 4 types of equipment also do not differ too much in price, and the set of functions of the basic and luxury versions is significant. At the same time, they note that the cost of a crossover for its content and performance is quite democratic.
