Nissan Qashqai or Renault Duster: what to choose. Test drive of Nissan Terrano, Qashqai and X-Trail on Baikal: "citizens" on the ice and on the country road Suspension and steering

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, its appearance shows a hood with 2 stamped ribs, large diamond-shaped lighting equipment 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.

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 the 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.

Big automobile concern Renault-Nissan presented Russian market many models that have gained their popularity among the domestic population. Very often people ask themselves what better nissan Qashqai or Renault Duster are two crossovers recognized as popular in Russia.

It would seem that the cost of a Nissan brand car significantly exceeds the price of its “younger” classmate, does this mean that this is due to its outstanding performance, is it really so? In this article, we decided to compare Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai for all possible points.

Appearance

Let's start the review of the two crossovers with their appearance:

Assessing visually Renault Duster, you can safely attribute it to the class of "SUVs", contribute to this: large wheel arches, protective thresholds and roof rails. Another important and significant element for driving a Frenchman off-road is the front bumper pulled up.


Comparison of Nissan Qashqai with Renault Duster allows us to note the following elements: the “Japanese” has smoother shapes and a voluminous front bumper typical of an urban crossover.

Dimensions

For many motorists, an important factor is the dimensions of the operated machine. In terms of size, crossovers do not differ much from each other:

  • The length of the Duster is 4317 mm, while the Nissan has 4377;
  • In terms of height, when compared with the French rails, Renault wins with a score of 1625 mm against 1595 mm;
  • The wheelbase also has a minimal difference, 2646 mm for Duster and 2673 for Qashqai.

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

Salon

Let's move on to the interior of the cars, consider both the dimensions and the features of each model:

The Duster has a simpler interior, no frills from wood inserts and gold-plated elements, expensive hard plastic is well planted.

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

The Frenchman suffers a little from the ergonomics of the cabin, not all controls are easily accessible, it will take time to get used to using them;

The cabin height of the Duster allows people of average height to fit without any problems, while in Qashqai this parameter has lost 4 cm and causes discomfort for passengers with a height of 180 cm.

The Nissan feels more elegant, the ergonomics are many times better than the French, everything is at the driver's fingertips and tastefully done.

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

In terms of trunk volume, victory is on the Qashqai side - 430 liters against 408 liters for the Frenchman.

Specifications

In this section, we will analyze the most important aspects of the operational aspects of Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai, which allow us to evaluate the car precisely as a means of transportation:

  • Ground clearance for the Frenchman is 210 mm, for Qashqai 200 mm;
  • The turning diameter has a minimal 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 brings victory to Qashqai - 6.9 l / 100 km, while for Duster this figure is 7.8.

Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai engine

Let's begin to consider power units cars:

  • Renault Duster 1.6 engine is well suited for driving around the city and small off-road, where the optimal speed is not more than 80 km / h. This does not mean that it is too weak, the power is quite enough to make a quick overtaking on the highway, but still its “cruising” speed ranges from 80 to 120 km / h. At high speeds with revolutions of more than 3000, he begins to howl, the Qashqai has the same trouble;
  • The Nissan Qashqai engine has the most winning torque: 200 (20) at 4400 rpm. The Frenchman is slightly, but inferior, having 195 (20) / 4000 rpm;
  • Quantity Horse power when compared with a 2-liter engine, identical.

Suspension and steering

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

  • Possibility to choose 4WD in any version, where rear suspension- independent multi-link, and the front one - with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers;
  • On front-wheel drive French, the front remains the same, and the rear is semi-independent;
  • The Duster's steering wheel is a bit tight to drive, but this does not affect the movement on the highway, all bumps and potholes only slightly shake the body, without knocking the car off course. The car is simply optimal for Russian roads;
  • Qashqai control will still bring a little more convenience, smooth responses, the car does not make any sudden jerks;
  • Nissan's suspension is "dense", swallows small potholes without disturbing the comfort of movement.

Transmission

The types of transmissions for crossovers differ:

  • Nissan Qashqai is presented on the market with a variator, to which many are skeptical;
  • Duster meets with a 6-speed manual and a 4-speed petrol automatic.

Options and prices

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

  • The starting price for Qashqai starts at 950,000 rubles: 6 airbags, air conditioning, ESP, radio and 1.6 liter engine - all this is included in the base price;
  • The simplest Duster equipment costs from 640 thousand rubles, it has a 5-speed manual transmission gasoline with 114 horses;
  • If you want to buy a Renault crossover with 4WD, then you will have to pay an extra 120,000 rubles for this;
  • The cost of a machine with a 2-liter engine for Duster will cost 950 thousand rubles, a luxury equipment with the same engine will cost 1 million 30 thousand rubles;
  • The top-end Qashqai equipment with 19-inch alloy wheels and all kinds of electronics that increase 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 pros and cons, they are quite different in their capabilities and, in general, have different paths. If Nissan Qashqai with its aggressive appearance, increased comfort completely conquers the urban environment, then Duster looks more reliable on country roads, perfectly fitting into the harsh Russian climate.

Dacia Duster vs Nissan Qashqai

Dacia Duster VS Nissan Qashqai

  1. From the operating experience of Qashqai 2009 (to 2014) and Terrano 2014 (to the present time). Personal impression: despite the hype, Qashqai - a raw car, the "new" Terrano - seems to be considered a lower class, but somehow more thoughtful and reliable.

    QASHKAY:
    The sores of Qashqai 2007 remained in Qashqai 2009.
    For example, weak power windows. In Qashqai in winter, even at minus 2 * C, I had to help the window regulator with my hands, pulling out the glass. At minus 20 * C, this did not work either, and I had to go with an open window. At minus 20. With an open window.
    A pen tailgate(trunk) with an electric button in Qashqai is attached weakly. With the usual opening of the trunk remained in the hands. The replacement cost $5,000 or $7,000.
    The roof sloping towards the rear and the Qashqai tailgate strongly tilted forward greatly reduce the volume of the trunk and the car as a whole. A more or less bulky rectangular object does not fit in the trunk and requires the seats to be folded down.
    In Qashqai, the steering wheel is extremely heavy. It seems to be for stability on the road, but the management turns into hard work. (In new versions, this defect seems to be corrected?).
    Rigid suspension Qashqai transmits all potholes to the spine.
    Removing the Qashqai wheel is a long job. To raise the wheel, you need to lift the car half a meter. Not every jack will cope with this, it is necessary to lay boards. Of course, this design increases off-road, but still dumb.
    It may be an accident, but twice my Qashqai arranged a rhythmic skid for no particular reason (of course, it’s more correct to say that I arranged it, there’s nothing to blame on the car, but that doesn’t make it any easier). Not much like that, and not dangerous, but it feels like Qashqai's stability is not all right.
    The hood of Qashqai is very heavy, there is no gas lift.
    In Qashqai there is no shelf above the glove compartment, everything is round, you can’t even put a ballpoint pen. The glove compartment is huge but stupid, all items "get stuck" somewhere in the far part and interfere with closing.
    Qashqai's door handles make you want to tie something to them. I was once tied with an RGD-5 grenade, so real, with a fuse. Unpleasant feeling. Black, however, educational (such "jokes" were common among us at one time in Samara). On Terrano, you can't tie a grenade to the door handle, which is nice. Joke.
    In Qashqai, lamps burned out constantly.
    In Qashqai for the fifth year of operation (55 thousand km) failed release bearing. A penny detail, hidden in the box so deeply that the replacement cost 50 thousand rubles. After repair at the dealer, the new bearing went 3000 km and also died.
    Repaired again and handed over to the dealer under the program, bought new Terrano.
    Pluses of Qashqai (not all, probably?). Low fuel consumption, excellent dynamic characteristics engine, good seat adjustment.

    TERRANO: basically some pluses.
    Reliability. Comfortable ride, soft suspension. Very high landing: do not blind oncoming headlights. Excellent road holding. Soft, very informative steering wheel. A full-fledged station wagon - everything fits into the car. For three years (40 thousand km), not a single lamp burned out. A great appearance- at the same time solid and moderately sporty. High clearance (really high, no hanging elements). Hood gas lift. A normal glove compartment and a niche shelf above it.
    Minuses:
    slightly higher fuel consumption (but quite acceptable), slightly worse aerodynamics,
    protruding thresholds and arches,
    carpet running on the gas pedal,
    inability to shift into 5th gear idle move(this is not a flaw, but a feature),
    sound signal button on the turn signal switch.

    My opinion: the comparison is exclusively in favor of Terrano.

  2. Haven't seen this before. I also have decent experience in operating Qashqai (2008 guards, 1.6, 2wd, manual transmission), as I wrote about in the first post. I agree with something (oh, these power windows in winter), but there is something to object:

    The roof sloping towards the rear and the Qashqai tailgate strongly tilted forward greatly reduce the volume of the trunk and the car as a whole. A more or less bulky rectangular object does not fit in the trunk and requires the seats to be folded down.

    The trunk of Qashqai is really small. Very small for a car of its dimensions - 4 own wheels do not fit without folding the backs. I remember that the men in the tire shop were surprised - it seems like a rather big car in appearance, but stupid in terms of capacity. But in fairness, I want to note that during the years that he was in our family, he was transported on it:
    1. A roll of 2-2.5 meters of linoleum, folding one part of the back of the rear seat, spreading out the front passenger seat and the parents were still sitting on the rest of the rear. The trunk, of course, with such dimensions did not close.
    2. Refrigerator Biryusa **, folding the back.
    3. Washing machine some kind of there (relatively modern machine), folding the back.
    4. Email a domestic 4-burner stove, also with folded backs.
    5. To the village (500+ km) in one trip were taken out: a small refrigerator (a la minibar in hotels), a set of satellite TV, a plastic table, sheet plywood - also with the backs folded. At points 2-5, the trunk was closed.

    I wouldn't say. It has an electric booster, configured in such a way that the steering wheel becomes heavier only when driving at speed. When parking it is super light. Spinning during maneuvers absolutely without straining in the literal sense of the word with one finger. In Terrano, you can also twist with one finger, but I can’t say that it’s comfortable.
    According to the ergonomics of the cabin, Qashqai, perhaps, wins: steering wheel adjustment for reach, more modern instruments, an armrest with a glove compartment. Plus all sorts of baubles: auto-rain, folding mirrors from the button (by the way, in which you can see a lot more than in Terran ones), an absolutely ingenious thing - a drawer under the passenger seat, and other little things that you quickly get used to

    There is experience in operating QQ + 2, 2L / 6MT, 2013. Qashqai is definitely a European car of a higher class, until 2014 there was only an English assembly. The salon is thoughtful, ergonomic - everything is at hand, the plastic finish is much better, there was no smell almost from the beginning of operation. In Terrano, for 2 months, the smell of cheap plastic has not yet disappeared from the cabin. The aerodynamics of the Qashqai is better, which apparently affects the consumption, the steering wheel turns quite easily. Consumption on the highway is less by almost a liter with the same engine power (141 versus 143hp). But Terrano’s cross-country ability is definitely better, here there is a slightly higher ground clearance, and better entry / exit angles, and the first downshift, and a more energy-intensive suspension. Although the restyled Qashqai (since 2010) has it very good for a crossover. For almost 5 years, with timely maintenance according to the regulations, only the replacement of consumables, for light bulbs - for all the time I replaced one fog lamp, 2 times in size and 1 backlight of the number, that's all. As a summary, the Qashqai is no worse than the Terrano, but it is a more urban SUV, which can sometimes be driven from asphalt to relatively light off-road. Terrano is a more serious rogue, for somewhat more difficult conditions, but it must be borne in mind that this is far from a Niva.

Although the restyled Qashqai (since 2010) has it very good for a crossover. For almost 5 years, with timely maintenance according to the regulations, only the replacement of consumables, for light bulbs - for all the time I replaced one fog lamp, 2 times in size and 1 backlight of the number, that's all.

According to sales statistics, immediately after the appearance on the market, it became the absolute leader among crossovers. But the older Tucson cannot boast of similar success. In addition, he completely loses the market battle to the platform-based Kia Sportage.

If you study in detail the prices and configurations of these machines, it becomes clear why. (2.0-liter, with automatic and front-wheel drive) will cost 1,450,000 rubles. For the money you get dual-zone climate control, a multimedia system, heated mirrors and much more. It seems to be good. Yes, only the most expensive crossover is cheaper by a hundred thousand - the amount is quite impressive. And the only negative in the equipment - air conditioner will be single zone. For example, the Travel version with options includes heating for everything and everyone, a rear-view camera, a multimedia system with navigation and Apple CarPlay / Android Auto function. This Creta is equipped with a 2.0-liter engine and automatic, and the drive is all-wheel drive.

At the same time, the lower class does not mean a loss in practicality at all. According to our measurements, the trunk of the Creta is only slightly smaller than that of the older Toussan, and rear seats and more spacious, albeit not by much. It turns out that the elder Tussan, in fact, does not offer anything that Crete does not have. But it costs a lot more money.

Mitsubishi ASX or Mitsubishi Outlander

What is the situation with Mitsubishi crossovers?

The most expensive with a 2.0-liter engine, CVT and all-wheel drive costs 1,480,000 rubles. At the same time, from the options in the car there will be almost everything your heart desires: climate control, a bunch of traffic assistants, a rear view camera and much more.

To get the simplest, you will have to pay a little more than 10 thousand rubles. Not a very big difference, especially against the background of the example with Korean crossovers. True, such an Outlander will be rustic - front-wheel drive, CVT, the same single-zone climate control, steel wheels. But he has one indisputable advantage. Unlike Hyundai, where the senior class does not at all mean advantages in the interior and trunk space, things are different in Mitsubishi. The trunk in the Outlander is simply huge compared to the ASX - 456 liters versus 264. And the rear seats are much more spacious. So for family people, Outlander is more suitable. However, not only for families: few people will refuse a more practical and roomy car when the surcharge for it is so small. Of course, provided that there is no urgent need for all-wheel drive.

Ford EcoSport or Ford Kuga

A similar situation with capacity and SUV Ford. The trunk of Kuga is one hundred liters more than that of the youngest in the line. Yes, and the back row of seats in Kugi is noticeably more spacious.

The simplest - with front-wheel drive, automatic and a 2.5-liter engine with 150 hp. The equipment list includes air conditioning, a simple audio system and a set of electronic assistants. Such a car will cost 1,400,000 rubles. The most expensive EcoSport with all possible options will be about 70 thousand. Moreover, this will also be a front-wheel drive car, but with a 1.6-liter engine with 122 hp. EcoSport has four-wheel drive, but it is offered in a simpler version and, most importantly, exclusively paired with mechanical box gears. So if you want compact crossover with all-wheel drive and an automatic, you will have to walk past a Ford dealer or fork out for Kuga.

Nissan Terrano or Nissan Qashqai

Nissan has a whole litter of crossovers of various stripes. in basic equipment it turned out to be more expensive than the more spacious Qashqai. Therefore, together with Qashqai, we will consider Nissan Terrano.

In this couple price policy looks more familiar and understandable. The most expensive one with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter engine and an automatic will cost almost 1,200,000 rubles! For this money, you can count on a leather interior, cruise control, a multimedia system with a 7-inch touch screen. On the one hand, the list of options can be continued for a long time. On the other hand, even the most expensive Terrano is not spared from the touch of budget, which he inherited along with Logan's B0 platform. So Terrano can only be advised to those who need a simple and unpretentious crossover with good off-road talents, while the quality of the materials used in the interior trim is not so important.

What can you expect for this money when choosing Qashqai? On a front-wheel drive car with a CVT and a 115-horsepower engine. And you don't have to pay anything here. Of course, it will be packaged more modestly. And in terms of roominess, it does not greatly exceed the Terrano, and the trunk is even a little smaller. But the car is already of a completely different class and offers something that Terrano will not give for any money. For example, steering wheel adjustment for reach, good sound insulation, pleasant handling in all respects and ease of traction control. Still, making friends with the continuously variable transmission of Qashqai is much easier than with the archaic 4-speed automatic Terrano.
