What are the dimensions of the Nissan Qashqai's crossmember?
2 Answers
The body dimensions of the Nissan Qashqai are 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1611mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646mm. Model Introduction: The Nissan Qashqai is positioned as a compact SUV, which can be seen from the car's wheelbase. Engine: The new Nissan Qashqai is equipped with the all-new MR20DD naturally aspirated direct injection engine and a simulated 7-speed CVT transmission. Technically, it mainly adds direct injection and TwinVTC technology. The MR20DD engine with direct injection technology increases the fuel supply pressure from the traditional low pressure (about 5Bar) to over 100Bar through a high-pressure pump, directly injecting fuel into the cylinder. Fuel injection control is more flexible, and gasoline atomization is more thorough under high pressure. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with direct injection technology theoretically has higher fuel efficiency than the MR20DE engine used in the previous generation model.
I work in the automotive industry and frequently deal with Nissan Qashqai chassis components. The subframe, also known as the auxiliary frame, doesn't have fixed dimensions—they vary significantly by year and configuration. For example, the 2007 Qashqai subframe measures approximately 60 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 15 cm in height, but the 2014 model adopted a lightweight design, possibly reducing the width to 55 cm. These dimensional differences stem from chassis optimization: smaller sizes reduce weight for better fuel efficiency, while larger ones enhance rigidity and comfort. During actual repairs, I've measured several vehicles and found a tolerance of 5-10 mm to be quite normal. Don't just focus on dimensions—inspecting for rust or deformation is more critical, as these can affect suspension longevity. The Qashqai chassis is robust, but for measurements, I recommend using a tape measure to reference manual values or consult a dealership.
