Nissan Qashqai: ideal option for the city

Thanks to its attractive appearance, soft suspension and high reliability, the car is ideal as a city crossover. Day after day, it will delight you with driving comfort. As for the price, according to information published on the website of the official dealer Nissan (Ниссан) in Ukraine 'ВиДи Армада' http://nissan-armada.com.ua/models/crossovers/qashqai/complectation/, you will have to pay at least 540 thousand hryvnias – and that is only for the initial configuration. The maximum will cost about 600 thousand.

This will be money well spent. After all, the manufacturers are implementing a newly developed design in all models. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish our crossover from the Xtrail SUV. And all because of the new radiator grille and curved headlights.

The interior has also undergone numerous changes. Now it has wonderful soft plastic and a bright five-inch screen, installed on the instrument panel in all configurations. The front seats and steering wheel have a large number of adjustments. Even people of large build will feel comfortable behind the wheel.

The use of NASA technology in creating the seats will allow the driver to travel long distances without getting tired. This will especially please people who have had spinal injuries in the past. The armrest consists of two compartments. On top, you can place a phone or tablet, and in the deep inner niche there is a cigarette lighter, a USB slot and an AUX input.

The era of the familiar handbrake is also ending. Now instead, an electromechanical parking brake is installed, which works after pressing a button. Thanks to this, the developers saved a lot of space.

Leather-trimmed seats are only available in top configurations. The maximum configuration will have a surround-view system. And four video cameras arranged in a circle will display the recorded video on a seven-inch screen installed in the interior.

The multimedia system is fairly standard for this class. However, the navigation maps deserve special praise, as they accurately indicate the best route. The system uses a pleasant voice to remind the driver in advance to take the necessary action.

The car is equipped with numerous systems. They significantly simplify driving and help out in critical situations. As an example, we can take the electronic braking assistant – Chassis Control. It is especially relevant in winter.

Among consumers, the most popular gasoline engine will be the 1.6-liter DIG-T with turbocharging, developing up to 150 hp. And the very handling of the car evokes strong emotions: light steering, soft suspension and excellent sound insulation make driving pleasant and comfortable. And there is no doubt that the updated versions of Nissan cars will please consumers and will have high sales.
