2 Answers
2022 Nissan Qashqai is equipped with a three-cylinder engine. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Exterior: The 2022 model adopts Nissan's latest V-motion design language, with a notable minor change being the English 'QASHQAI' embossed on the front fenders of the overseas version. The body color features a two-tone design similar to the recently unveiled next-generation X-Trail, with the main model showcasing a pure black roof and a vibrant blue body, complemented by white headlights, creating a layered appearance. 2. Dimensions: The 2022 Qashqai measures 4436*1869*1618mm with a wheelbase of 2666mm. 3. Powertrain: The new model is highly likely to be equipped with a 1.5T power system featuring VC-Turbo technology, which is a three-cylinder engine, soon to be mass-produced by Dongfeng Nissan.
I've driven the 2022 Nissan Qashqai, and it's definitely not a three-cylinder engine. It uses a 1.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which is quite common in mainstream configurations. As an owner, I find the four-cylinder engine runs more smoothly, without the vibration you might feel with a three-cylinder when accelerating. It performs well whether in city traffic or on highway cruises. The Qashqai's engine design balances fuel efficiency and power output, with an average fuel consumption of around 7-8 liters, making it very reliable for long trips. If you opt for the higher trim, there's even a mild hybrid system, but the core remains the four-cylinder. This reminds me of the trend in modern SUVs—three-cylinder engines are more common in entry-level small cars. For a compact SUV like the Qashqai, the four-cylinder is more reliable and better suited for daily commuting. I've driven it for a year now without any issues.
