Does the Nissan Qashqai have a sunroof?
2 Answers
The 2017 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L CVT Luxury Edition and the 2017 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L CVT Flagship Edition models are equipped with a panoramic sunroof. Depending on the model, configurations vary—some do not have a sunroof, while others feature a panoramic sunroof. Below is an introduction to car sunroofs: 1. Car sunroofs can be broadly categorized into: sliding-out type, built-in type, built-in flip-out type, panoramic type, and curtain type. They are primarily installed in commercial SUVs, sedans, and other vehicle models. 2. Car sunroofs change the traditional form of ventilation. The wind blowing in creates an airflow that draws out the stale air inside the cabin. This helps extract polluted air from the vehicle, achieving a ventilation effect and maintaining fresh air inside the cabin. 3. They can quickly remove fog inside the vehicle. Especially during summer and autumn when there is more rain and higher humidity. Drivers are well aware that when the temperature and humidity inside the car are high, the front windshield is prone to fogging up. By simply opening the sunroof to the rear-tilt ventilation position, the fog on the windshield can be easily eliminated, ensuring driving safety. Using the sunroof for ventilation eliminates concerns about the harsh and dirty external environment or rain being blown into the car. 4. Using a sunroof also has energy-saving benefits. On a hot summer day, a car left under the sun for an hour can easily reach an interior temperature of around 70°C. Opening the door releases a wave of heat, prompting many to immediately turn on the air conditioning to lower the temperature. Opening the sunroof cools the car 2-3 times faster than using the air conditioning and also saves fuel.
As a veteran owner who has driven the Nissan Qashqai for six years, I can confirm this model does come with a sunroof configuration. There are significant differences between trim levels: the base Visia trim usually features a standard single sunroof, while mid-to-high-end Acenta and Tekna trims upgrade to a panoramic sunroof. The panoramic version has an exceptionally large opening area, with almost the entire roof made of glass – my kids absolutely love lying down to gaze at the sky during our summer countryside trips. However, do pay attention to drainage maintenance; I once forgot to clean the drains which resulted in a 800+ CNY leakage repair. For prospective buyers, I'd recommend opting for the sunroof option – it's great for smokers needing ventilation, and cracking it slightly during rainy days clears fog faster than AC, especially practical in humid southern regions.
