It is paired with a CVT transmission. The new X-Trail is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1593mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2646mm. In terms of suspension, the new X-Trail uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

The new Qashqai is equipped with Nissan's 1.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, model HR13DDT, with a maximum output of 156 horsepower. I remember being particularly impressed by its power during the test drive—it accelerates quite aggressively, especially with quick starts in urban areas. This engine combines direct injection technology with lightweight design, delivering good fuel efficiency at an average of 7-8L/100km. Nissan engines have always been reliable, rarely heard of any faults, and maintenance is simple—just regular oil changes. I think it excels in low-speed torque output, making it suitable for city driving, and it remains stable during highway cruising without feeling noisy. The only minor drawback might be slightly louder engine noise after long-distance driving, but it’s not a significant issue. If you’re looking for something economical and practical, this engine is highly recommended—it’s much more efficient than the older naturally aspirated versions.

As someone who frequently drives SUVs, I'm very familiar with the Qashqai's 1.3T turbocharged engine. This small-displacement engine delivers ample power with its 156 horsepower, providing smooth driving especially when taking family outings—handling slopes or overtaking with ease. It has excellent fuel consumption control, averaging around 7.5L for daily commutes, making it economical and practical. In terms of reliability, Nissan's HR series has a strong reputation and rarely encounters issues. I think its advantage lies in the early turbo engagement, quick response, and minimal lag. It feels stable and effortless on highways. Routine maintenance is simple, requiring only timely oil and filter changes, making it cost-effective and convenient. If considering hybrid options, the e-POWER variant offers even better fuel efficiency, but the 1.3T already delivers outstanding value for daily use.

The new Qashqai is equipped with a 1.3-liter direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engine, codenamed HR13DDT, with a power output of 156 horsepower. It features an aluminum alloy cylinder block, reducing weight and improving efficiency. The turbo system provides high torque at low RPMs, delivering linear and smooth acceleration. I've driven it multiple times, and the driving experience is excellent with well-controlled noise levels. It has low fuel consumption and meets environmental standards. The overall structure is simple, resulting in a low failure rate.
