2 Answers
Nissan Qashqai's engine is produced in China, utilizing Nissan Motor's production technology. The Nissan Qashqai is equipped with the Nissan MR series engine, and all three major components of this vehicle are manufactured in China. The Nissan Qashqai is a compact SUV under the Dongfeng Nissan brand. In terms of exterior design, the Nissan Qashqai adopts the brand's new family design concept, featuring a large front grille and chrome trim decorations. The classic V-shaped chrome strip is retained, giving the front face of the car a higher recognition. Regarding body dimensions, the Qashqai measures 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1611mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646mm.
As a Qashqai owner, I've researched Nissan's technical details. The production origin of the Qashqai's engine depends on the specific market and model year. For example, Qashqais purchased in Japan typically feature engines from the Tochigi or Yokohama plants, using MR-series engines. European versions like UK-made Qashqais may have engines produced in Japan and shipped over, or assembled in local factories. Nissan operates a global supply chain, with localized engine production in different regions to reduce costs and improve delivery speed. Engine models like the MR16DDT turbo all meet quality standards, so there's no need to worry much about origin differences. To confirm your car's production origin, check positions 6-10 of the VIN for the factory code.
