The Qashqai has a body length of 4401mm, width of 1837mm, height of 1593mm, and a wheelbase of 2646mm. The Qashqai is a model under the Nissan Motor Group, the first product since the establishment of Nissan's European Design Center, positioned between a compact SUV and a hatchback sedan. The Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 151ps, maximum torque of 194nm, maximum power of 111kw, top speed of 191km/h, acceleration time of 10.2-11.4 seconds, and is matched with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission. It adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The Qashqai's tire models are 215/60R17, 215/55R18, and 225/45R19, and its original tires use the Dunlop brand.
When I took my Qashqai on a road trip before, I found its dimensions very practical. The car is about 4.4 meters long, nearly 1.9 meters wide, and around 1.6 meters tall. This size is particularly suitable for family use—the trunk can fit all our camping gear, and the rear seats can accommodate two adults even with a child safety seat installed. Parking in the neighborhood is never a worry due to its compact size, and the turning radius is small enough to navigate narrow roads by just folding in the mirrors. Once, my mother-in-law, who is 1.7 meters tall, complimented the generous legroom in the back, with about two fists of space between her knees and the front seatback. However, you need to be cautious of crosswinds on highways since the taller body results in more noticeable wind resistance.
I really like the body proportions of the Qashqai. With a length of about 4.4 meters, it's very agile for city driving. The width exceeding 1.8 meters makes the interior feel particularly spacious - three friends can sit comfortably in the back without feeling cramped. The height controlled at around 1.6 meters is a highlight - no need to tiptoe when getting in/out and no head bumping. Even my grandfather said the front passenger seat is more comfortable than sedans. The trunk can easily fit a folded stroller plus a storage box, perfect for weekend grocery shopping. If there's any drawback, the width requires extra caution when turning in narrow alleys - the side mirrors almost scraped walls several times.
I measured my friend's Qashqai with a tape measure, and it's 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1611mm in height. The most immediate feeling when driving is the very comfortable seating position, and the adjustable steering wheel allows me, at 170cm tall, to find the ideal position. The height provides an excellent view, allowing me to clearly see the distance of three cars ahead, which gives me confidence when changing lanes in traffic jams. The width data looks large, but the car feels more agile than expected when turning. The trunk is deep enough to fit a 28-inch suitcase and can even accommodate a golf bag vertically. However, it would be perfect if the wiper design could cover a wider range.
