The popularity of the best-selling model of the Classic Qashqai cannot be ignored, and its sales performance in the end market is also very impressive! Although this product has been on the market for many years, it still retains its popularity. One can't help but wonder what makes this obsolete vehicle still so appealing.
First of all, the exterior design of this car really has a unique charm. Personally, I don't think it's ugly, and while it doesn't have a lot of novelty at the front, it's hard to call it too outdated if you put it in 2024. The stance of the entire body is by no means exaggerated. In addition, there are many small scratch-resistant black trim panels on the side of the body, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the practicality of the vehicle. Overall, this model adopts a design concept that is in line with the aesthetics of the masses.
Looking at the interior part, it still follows the principle of being very low-key and introverted, and the overall shape is quite regular. The layout of the various functions is relatively clear and straightforward, and it is extremely easy to get started. To its credit, on the lower-spec model, it is equipped with faux leather seats, and there are stitching decorations in subtle details such as the center console and door sides, so visually, it does not leave any impression of cheapness or simplicity.
Considering that it is only a compact SUV with a length of only 4,401 mm, it has the effect of space performance like a spacious large SUV. The 2,646 mm wheelbase ensures that the second row is spacious enough for basic family cars, while the rear is equipped with practical features such as air vents and armrests.
In terms of powertrain, the classic Qashqai is equipped with 20-litre naturally aspirated engine. The engine's performance figures are not outstanding, with a maximum power of only 151 hp, which is nowhere near even the smaller displacement of many smaller turbocharged engines, but it is still quite satisfactory in real driving, and it is definitely not a problem to meet the needs of daily travel. After all, the displacement of this engine is there, and it doesn't make you feel that the power reserve is significantly lacking.
More importantly, the car is excellent in terms of fuel economy. With the cooperation of the ancestral CVT transmission, this classic Qashqai truly achieves an ultra-low fuel consumption of only 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Considering that it is compatible with No. 92 "coarse grains", this undoubtedly attracts the favor of a large number of budget-conscious consumers.
As a compact SUV with a price of less than 100,000 yuan, the main advantages of the classic Qashqai.
The potential is that it is not only practical and durable, but also has excellent off-road ability. The ground clearance is high, and the front and rear approach and departure angles are also prominent, making it easy to drive on rough mountain roads and through the road.
