Does the Nissan Qashqai have cruise control?
2 Answers
The Nissan Qashqai is equipped with cruise control functionality. Using the cruise control feature can help reduce fuel consumption and minimize driver fatigue. Taking the 2021 Nissan Qashqai as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4401mm, width 1837mm, height 1593mm, with a wheelbase of 2646mm and a fuel tank capacity of 57 liters. The 2021 Qashqai features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivering 151 horsepower (151ps), with maximum torque of 194Nm and maximum power output of 111kW. The transmission is a 7-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT).
When I took my Nissan Qashqai on a long-distance trip, I used the cruise control feature, which was particularly convenient and fuel-efficient. It can be activated as long as the speed exceeds 30 km/h. By setting the desired speed using the steering wheel buttons, you don’t have to keep your foot on the accelerator, making highway driving much more relaxed. Most Qashqai models come with this feature, including the latest version, which also supports adaptive speed adjustment and automatic following distance. However, there might be slight differences depending on the specific model, so it’s best to check the configuration manual when purchasing. I find it very useful for long-distance driving, as it helps reduce fatigue, but don’t rely on it too much—manual control is recommended during rainy weather or heavy traffic. Overall, the Qashqai’s cruise control is a practical feature, and other Japanese SUVs like the Honda CR-V also offer similar designs, making daily driving more effortless.
