Does the Qashqai have a rear anti-collision beam?

The Qashqai does not have a rear anti-collision beam. It only has an anti-collision beam installed inside the front bumper, which is a U-shaped channel made of cold-rolled steel plate and connected to the frame longitudinal beam. As the first line of defense in passive safety, the anti-collision beam is an important safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impact forces, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. The Qashqai's body dimensions are: length 4401mm, width 1837mm, height 1593mm, with a wheelbase of 2646mm. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 111 kW and a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Nissan Qashqai for several years and pay special attention to its safety features. It does have a rear crash beam, which can be seen when the bumper is removed. The beam is made of high-strength steel with a thickness of about 2-3 mm, capable of absorbing collision energy. As a Japanese SUV, the Qashqai was designed with a strong focus on safety, scoring highly in Euro NCAP tests, with excellent rear protection. When driving on highways, in case of a rear-end collision, this beam helps cushion the impact, protecting the trunk and rear passengers. I recommend owners check inside the bumper during regular maintenance and avoid using low-quality replacement parts to maintain the original factory condition for better safety. Additionally, the Qashqai's entire lineup basically comes with a rear crash beam, with little difference between the base and top models.
