Which Nissan Qashqai model features four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
Nissan Qashqai only offers four-wheel drive in the Tiger and Dragon models, which feature an on-demand 4WD system. Below is relevant information about the Qashqai: 1. Overview: The Qashqai, Nissan Europe Design Center's inaugural creation, derives its name from Iranian desert-dwelling nomadic tribes, symbolizing "urban nomads." 2. Exterior: The Qashqai's front fascia embodies Nissan's design heritage - compact yet substantial, with a prominent chrome logo embedded in the wide grille that instantly conveys its pedigree. Two arched bulges on the hood complement the irregular pentagonal headlights, creating a playful, cartoon-like front appearance.
Currently, the Nissan Qashqai models available with four-wheel drive are the 2024 e-POWER Zhixiang Edition and the Flagship Edition. Both come standard with Nissan's e-4ORCE intelligent all-wheel drive system. This technology is quite impressive, as it independently controls the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels via electric motors, providing solid traction on rainy, snowy, or rough roads. I remember testing it on slippery roads—the feeling of no wheel slip was amazing, significantly enhancing driving safety. The Qashqai's AWD isn't just suitable for occasional off-roading; it's also energy-efficient for city commuting because it intelligently adjusts driving force, unlike traditional AWD systems that consume more fuel. Maintenance isn’t complicated either—just regular checks on tires and wiring are needed. Although this model is priced slightly higher, its safety and versatility make it worth considering.
