2 Answers
2017 Nissan Qashqai ground clearance details are as follows: 1. The minimum ground clearance for the 2.0L model is 188mm. 2. The minimum ground clearance for the 1.2T CVT Fashion Edition is 193mm. 3. The minimum ground clearance for the Manual Fashion Edition is 199mm. Below is relevant information about ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle's chassis and the ground when the car is fully loaded (with maximum allowable load capacity). Generally, the lowest point of a sedan is usually below the transmission or oil pan, while the lowest point of an off-road vehicle is typically the differential of the front or rear axle.
The ground clearance of the 2017 Nissan Qashqai is approximately 185mm. After driving this car for several years, I find this height quite practical. In daily city driving, whether going over speed bumps or passing through puddles after rain, the chassis rarely gets scraped, saving a lot of repair troubles. On weekends, when taking the family out for trips and encountering gravel roads or gentle slopes in rural areas, the 185mm clearance allows the car to pass smoothly without worrying about getting stuck. Compared to compact sedans with around 150mm of clearance, the Qashqai handles complex road conditions more safely, without a noticeable increase in fuel consumption—I’ve measured an average of about 7.5L for city commuting. When changing tires, pay attention to the specifications, as the original size maintains the optimal height. Some car enthusiasts slightly increase tire size to improve off-road capability, but be cautious about affecting stability. Overall, this clearance design balances comfort and practicality, making it suitable for most road conditions.
