Which is more durable, the new Qashqai or the XR-V?
2 Answers
The new Qashqai is more durable than the XR-V. The details of the new Qashqai are as follows: Specific data: The body length is 4401mm, the body width is 1837mm, the body height is 1593mm, and the wheelbase is 2646mm. For the interior, the upper part of the center console is wrapped in soft materials, the lower part is wrapped in leather with stitching, and the middle features a 9-inch central control screen. The dashboard section adopts a 5-inch non-full LCD instrument panel paired with a plastic flat-bottom steering wheel. The seat material uses fabric, which is highly practical. The seating still follows Nissan's 'big sofa' design, with very soft padding, offering excellent comfort. Power configuration: The Nissan Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 111kW (151Ps) and a peak torque of 194N·m. The actual measured 0-100km/h acceleration time is 11.62 seconds, demonstrating very good power performance.
Having run an auto repair shop for years, I've frequently received feedback from Qashqai and XR-V owners. Overall, the XR-V seems more durable. Equipped with Honda's classic 1.5L engine, it boasts lower failure rates and sturdy components, easily clocking 200,000 km with minimal maintenance costs. In contrast, the Qashqai's CVT transmission tends to develop strange noises on rough roads, potentially affecting longevity with prolonged use. Both perform adequately for city commuting, with the Qashqai offering slightly more comfortable interiors. However, the XR-V is more fuel-efficient and hassle-free. My recommendation? Opt for the XR-V—don't wait for issues to regret. Regular maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan.
