This car can be called with full confidence one of the most successful crossovers on the market, so it occupies the first lines in sales in Russia and abroad. Today we will talk about the technical characteristics of the stylish and modern car Nissan Qashqai (J11). The compact crossover with a sleek design stands out in the city traffic, while the impressive elevation above the ground and all-wheel drive give confidence both in the city and in the forest.
A bit of history
The Nissan Qashqai was designed to fill the increasingly popular niche of compact crossovers. The best Japanese and American designers worked on the novelty. The project was made in the British design office using digital modeling, and the car received the final look in the London design department. The new Qashqai has undergone many changes since then, but the overall concept and style of the car have remained unchanged. The differences in appearance are shown in the two photos below:
Sales of Qashqai began in 2007. Today, with great success, the updated version of the crossover in 2016 is being implemented, which has already received the Car of the Year 2016 award. Appreciated the novelty in Russia at its true worth. When the crossover appeared on the market in 2007, the cost of the front-wheel drive version was at the level of C-class cars. The latest Qashqai updates were announced in 2017. They affected the appearance and electronics. The size of the Nissan Qashqai disks has also changed upwards.
Since 2015, the crossover has been produced in Russia. The plant is located in St. Petersburg. The main thing that changed in Qashqai at the beginning of production at the new plant was the front and rear subframes borrowed from the Nissan X-Trail. Such changes made it possible to expand the track and increase the ground clearance to 200 mm. In addition, all versions of the car for Russia are equipped with a full-size spare wheel. Sales to date in Russia have exceeded 260,000 copies, and worldwide have gone beyond 3.3 million.
Model name
A creative approach in choosing a name led to the ancient nomadic tribes of the Qashqai, who still live on the territory of modern Iran. This idea has already been used by the Volkswagen company, calling its car Tuareg (this is the name of the Indian tribe of North America). In Russia, Qashqais are often called "cats", and the Japanese version of the crossover (right-hand drive) is sold with the Dualis nameplate.
Description of Qashqai": dimensions and updates
This generation of the crossover that has gained popularity can be safely called the standard in the field of ergonomics, comfort, safety and style. Body dimensions "Qashqai" received new ones. The swift curves of the body and the high line of the hood speak of the power hidden inside. The use of LED elements and the lines extending from the front bumper to the rear indicate that this is a car that keeps up with the times.
The appearance of updated optics helped to rejuvenate the front and rear fenders. The side mirrors have also changed their look a little, and the expansion of the color gamut towards bright shades is designed to attract a younger audience. The rear bumper was slightly raised, which increased the loading height. The rear lights are equipped with LEDs.
Cabin comfort
The car received an even more spacious interior, high-quality finishing materials and thoughtful ergonomic solutions to the smallest detail. Here everything you need is at hand, the controls are sharpened and verified, indicators and signaling devices are designed to help the driver in any situation.
It is worth dwelling in more detail on the updated front seats. They now include improved side bolsters and are armed with ergonomic spine support, all of which improve blood circulation and significantly reduce fatigue on a long journey.
Being a passenger is no less pleasant. High-quality sound insulation allows you to talk on the road without obstacles, and the ability to customize the seat for yourself and the presence of a full power package significantly increase the comfort of the trip. The multimedia system not only plays music, but also allows you to access the Internet.
The back row is made in the same embossed style as the previous model, but is made of a denser and higher-quality filler, which allows people of different builds to comfortably accommodate.
Do not forget about the convenience of transporting home belongings in Qashqai. "The size of the luggage compartment is about 480 liters, but if you put the back row of seats, Nissan will quite easily transport a bicycle, a pram, a washing machine or a gas stove.
Driving with comfort
A comfortable steering wheel with sporty notes and multimedia system control keys, an improved and ergonomic pedal assembly, a comfortable seat with holding rollers, one of the best transmission control units, an updated shield with the ability to adjust the backlight - all this allows drivers of different builds and experience to drive with ease and comfort updated car "Nissan Qashqai". Thanks to these parameters, the crossover is far ahead of other similar models. The interior looks quite rich, everything is designed in the style of Nissan.
Power units and transmission
A 1.2-liter engine is installed in the configuration, which produces 115 hp. The low-power motor is quite economical, the declared consumption is 6.2 liters. It works in tandem with a manual transmission or a CVT. In this case, the drive is only on the front wheels.
Available 2 liter engine with 144 horsepower. Fuel consumption will be 8 liters in mixed mode.
The most economical turned out to be a 1.6 liter diesel engine capable of delivering 130 hp. In the combined cycle, its consumption will be less than 5 liters per hundred kilometers.
Color solutions
The following palette of body painting "Nissan Qashqai" is available to buyers:
- Black.

New Qashqai: body dimensions
The modern body shape required some changes in favor of handling and less drag. The new Qashqai model, which has become more sporty, has slightly expanded and become slightly lower in height.
L: 4377 millimeters (+49 mm).
H: 1595 millimeters (-20 mm).
W: 1837 millimeters (+15 mm).
Wheelbase 2646 mm.
The change in the size of the Qashqai had the best effect on aerodynamics and stability on the track. The reduction of the drag coefficient allowed to reduce fuel consumption.
The dimensions of the Qashqai wheels have also changed. The crossover received a new wheel size - now you can choose whether 17, 18 or 19 inch versions of aluminum wheels will be installed on the car.
The maximum crossover speed is within 180-195 km / h, depending on the installed power unit. To accelerate to 100 km / h, the car will need about 10 seconds.
The reinforced body does not interfere with the free opening and closing of the doors, even with a significant skew of the car.
Security and Options
The automaker Nissan always cares about its customers, so everything is in perfect order in the new Qashqai with the protection of the driver and passengers. Their safety is controlled by the SRS system with 6 airbags, as well as such smart systems:
- Anti-lock braking system.
- Emergency braking system.
- A system that distributes braking forces.
- The child seat can be secured with Isofix hooks.
The dimensions of the Nissan Qashqai body made it possible to increase passive safety.
The following options are available in high crossover trim levels:
- Automatic folding mirrors.
- Fog lights with integrated LEDs.
- Paddle shifters for shifting gears.
- Sensor for detecting rain and auto light.
- Climate control with two zones.
- Accident prevention system.
- System of the circular review.
A revolutionary innovation was the introduction of the ProPILOT system. She knows how to manage the crossover herself within the same lane. This development belongs to Nissan. In the future, this technology is sure to provide the automotive industry with a big breakthrough.
Complete set
Qashqai is available in the following trim levels: XE, SE, SE+, QE, LE, LE+, LERoof, LESport.
Even the starting package includes a sufficient number of options: airbags, heated mirrors, a multimedia system with 4 speakers, air conditioning, full power accessories, heated front seats, 16-inch cast aluminum wheels, adjustable steering wheel and seats. The most equipped configurations will receive a 7-speaker head unit, leather interior, panoramic roof, larger alloy wheels, rain and light sensors and many other useful options.
Start of sales in Russia
The start date of sales in Russia is hidden in every possible way. But it is already clear that this event will take place towards the end of 2018 or at the very beginning of 2019. It is not yet possible to sign up for a test drive with official dealers, but booklets of the updated Qashqai have already appeared on the information boards of car dealerships. This indicates the imminent appearance of the long-awaited crossover on sale.
Nissan Qashkai is distinguished not only by excellent electronics and engine, but also by a spacious interior. Volumetric trunks of models of all generations allow you to transport significant loads without any problems. At the same time, the design of the rear sofa makes it possible to increase the volume of the luggage compartment at times.
Early models of crossovers had a luggage compartment capacity of 410 liters. A distinctive disadvantage was the shape of the department with a fairly large volume of the trunk of the Nissan Qashqai. They were quite wide, but suffered from a small depth with two rows of seats. Additionally, the possible height was eaten by a spare wheel under the raised floor.
With the rear seats folded down, the volume increased to almost 1500 liters. However, this is only at first glance a lot. For example, the 2008 model with fully exposed chairs and a sofa had a trunk of only 130 liters.
After restyling the body, changing the location of the power unit and altering the interior, the cars received the maximum size of the Nissan Qashqai trunk at 430 liters, and since 2010 - 450 liters. Qashkai + 2 with the third row of seats folded down received 550 liters, although visually it looks even more. Internal height - 79 cm (76 at the entrance). And with the second row folded, the length was 174 cm.
Second generation Qashqai
After the start of sales of the updated model range in 2014, cars have become one of the most popular crossovers among Russian buyers. For example, a 2015 Qashkai+2 with a turbodiesel got 700 liters with the last row folded down and 1,595 liters with the interior fully folded down to the first row.
After 2016, the trunks in the Qashqai models practically did not change. Listed as a plus:
- large volume of all models;
- flat floor with the back row folded;
- decent height even while maintaining the spare wheel compartment;
- upholstery made of dense felt or artificial leather;
- trunk mats Nissan Qashqai made of dense rubber with corrugation;
- additional lining on the edge of the bottom made of steel with chrome plating for some trim levels.
With all the positive features, Qashqai has some disadvantages:
- no electric drive on the trunk lid;
- it is strongly recommended to put a second lock;
- the fifth door opens only 120 degrees (for people above 180 cm there is a possibility of hitting your head).
roof racks
It happens that you need to transfer oversized cargo or the trunk is simply not enough. To do this, there is a whole range of roof racks in the Nissan Qashqai. Such designs evenly distribute the weight over all the structures of the car, do not lower the rear of the car or carry really long loads.
There are several types of attachment to the roof, depending on the model of the car (the presence of luggage bars):
- Fixation behind the doorway with clamps and profiled bends. The design receives rigidity due to the lower extensions. The roof supports are made of rubber. A great plus of this system is that no one can steal it behind closed doors.
- Magnetic mounts are universal luggage structures that are installed on any model of car. They do not require additional fasteners and are durable. The key problem is that the magnetic system is designed exclusively for light loads.
- An inflatable system that is fixed with straps through the cabin. Not the most common design is considered quite reliable and load-bearing. Seats in the cabin for tall drivers and passengers can become an inconvenience.
- Installation on rails prevents the load from contacting the roof and scratching it. The problem can be an increase in the center of gravity or the effect of a sail with bulky loads (this is common with all roof racks). Installation of the railing system is usually carried out in professional service centers.
Useful video
The top location of the cargo is convenient when all passenger seats are occupied in the cabin, and the cargo simply does not fit inside. But some of these systems are easily removed, which is used by attackers. Separately, it is worth mentioning the native top trunk from Nissan. They are ideal for a specific model, but lose their versatility for installation on other cars.
Interesting: +2 is a big increase or not? If in parrots, then, probably, not very much, but if in elephants, then wow! Having asked such a seemingly frivolous question, we decided to find a very specific answer to it, expressed in numbers, facts and feelings. And the family crossover Nissan Qashqai + 2 acted as a guide for our research.
Since we started with numbers, let's be consistent and see where, what and how much has been added. Compared to the regular Nissan Qashqai, the plus one has a 135 mm longer wheelbase - now it is 2765 mm. The total length has increased to 4526 mm (plus 211 mm). This made it possible to place two additional seats in the cabin.
The appearance of the third row forced the developers to change the roof profile and increase the height of the Qashqai + 2 by 38 mm. As a result, the ceiling slightly rose, the glass frames in the front doors were changed, and the rear ones on the new version are generally different. They have become longer - to facilitate access to the "gallery".
Capacity Formula
The middle row seats can now be moved back and forth within 240 mm, and their backs not only recline forward, but also have tilt adjustment in the range from 10 to 25 °. In addition to convenience for second-row passengers, this makes it possible to win additional legroom for those sitting in the back. By the way, only children will be able to accommodate there, since the folding armchair of the third row is actually on the floor and it will be completely uncomfortable for adults there. So the name Qashqai + 2 absolutely accurately reflects the state of affairs: the “plus two” here are the same as in the sports coupe with the seating formula 2 + 2.
If on the five-seater version, the backs of the rear seats fold in a ratio of 60:40, then the middle row in Qashqai + 2 has a completely different design - it is divided into three parts in a ratio of 40:20:40. The central part acts as a seat with its own three-point seat belt or turns into a fairly wide armrest. In the second case, passengers have two cup holders and a storage compartment built into the armrest with a sliding cover, which has built-in 12-volt outlets and enough space to fit audio players or game consoles.
Bigger and more comfortable
In addition to increasing passenger capacity, Qashqai + 2 also has more luggage space. The volume of the luggage compartment with the third row seats folded down is 550 liters, which is 140 liters more than the five-seater version. Having folded the middle row, you can get at your disposal 1520 liters for placing things. But in the seven-seat configuration, luggage space, on the contrary, remains much less - only 130 liters. But thanks to the modified tailgate, the loading height has decreased by 13 mm.
Changes in the cargo compartment were reduced not only to an increase in volume. A hidden compartment appeared under the trunk floor, where a removable roller blind is stored. When the rear seats are folded down, you can install a curtain behind the second row and it will cover the entire luggage space. The underfloor compartment lid can also be used as an organizer divider to create space for small items so they don't fly all over the trunk.
A matter of technology
If the dimensions, interior layout and trunk of the Qashqai + 2 have changed a lot compared to the five-seater Qashqai, then from the point of view of mechanics, the cars are almost identical. The differences are mainly suspension settings and larger diameter brakes on the heavier Qashqai+2.
"Plus Two" is built on an extended version of the platform, which also underlies the regular Nissan Qashqai, Nissan X-Trail and Renault Koleos. With the five-seat Qashqai, it shares engines and transmissions. Diesel versions are not available on the Russian market, so our Qashqai + 2 is available either with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a five-speed “mechanics”, or with a two-liter unit paired with a CVT or a six-speed manual. The younger version is offered only with front-wheel drive, and the two-liter version can also be purchased in all-wheel drive.
The all-wheel drive scheme is similar to that used on the Nissan X-Trail. The electronically controlled multi-plate clutch that connects the rear wheels has three modes of operation: front-wheel drive (the clutch is fully “dissolved”), automatic rear axle engagement, and 4WD Lock, in which the clutch is completely locked.
In the asphalt jungle
The two-liter all-wheel drive Qashqai + 2 with a CVT, which we took for a test, has quite decent acceleration dynamics. In the front-wheel drive transmission mode, the engine, when starting off “with the pedal to the floor”, easily breaks the wheels into slipping even on dry pavement, so for active driving it makes sense to entrust the connection of the rear axle to automation. In this case, a vigorous start is followed by a smooth acceleration. The motor quickly reaches high speeds, and further acceleration occurs due to a change in the gear ratio by the variator. We did not find much sense in switching to manual control mode of the variator when driving on roads.
The lengthening of the wheelbase had a positive effect on the smoothness of the ride. This is especially noticeable on a gentle longitudinal wave of asphalt. But the crossover sometimes goes through bumps quite hard - it is felt that the rebound travel of the suspension is small.
At first, some completely unnatural effort on the steering wheel is annoying. And after all, it seems that the steering setting is correct - a clear “zero”, a smooth increase in effort as the “steering wheel” is turned ... But there is not enough transparency, “a sense of the road”. After some time, you adapt, the brain makes adjustments on a subconscious level, and you stop constantly paying attention to this “synthetic” nature of the feedback. But the driving pleasure is still not the same, even despite the clear reactions of the car to the steering, minimal rolls and reliable cornering behavior.
exemplary behavior
Off paved roads, the Qashqai+2 feels very confident thanks to the "correct" settings of the all-wheel drive electronics. The rear axle is connected quite quickly - before the front wheels have time to dig a “trapping hole” for themselves. In difficult situations, you can block the clutch in advance by getting a hard-wired all-wheel drive. The absence of cross-wheel locks is successfully compensated by the work of electronics that slows down the slipping wheels. Even with diagonal hanging Qashqai + 2 continues to move forward confidently, which some serious SUVs often cannot boast of.
Of course, Qashqai + 2 does not belong to the cohort of real "rogues". And yet, in the off-road nomination, “Qashqai with a plus” is able to give odds to most of its parquet competitors.

New Nissan Qashqai 2017 the prayer year, presented in Geneva, received a number of technical improvements, changed externally and became even more premium in the cabin. The designers decided to take their signature V-motion style to the next level. This can be seen in the first photo at the beginning of the article. We can congratulate the creators of the new Qashqai, because the exterior was a success.
Perhaps the most important technological update. this is the introduction of a semi-automatic autopilot, which is called ProPILOT. At Qashqai 2017, this system is able to accelerate and stop the car automatically, plus steer in case of deviation from the markup. There was a system of safe movement in reverse, preventing a collision in conditions of limited visibility.
Appearance Nissan Qashqai changed mainly in front. The designers of the Japanese concern enlarged the radiator grille by stretching it much lower, thereby having to completely redraw the bumper. The new optics received stylish elongated “boomerangs”, which distinguish the car not only from the front, but also from the back. Most likely, Russian buyers will like this design solution. Photos of the updated crossover Qashqai on.

Salon of the new Qashqai also left unchanged. In addition to the unusual embossed shape of the seats, an interestingly shaped sports steering wheel catches the eye. The Nissan Connect system has become faster, and buttons in the center console have a new shape. Finishing materials in general have been significantly improved. New reinforced sound insulation, thicker glass will make your stay in the cabin more comfortable. The 2017 Qashqai is getting closer and closer to the premium level of the interior, especially in top trim levels.

Specifications Qashqai 2017
As the creators of the car assure, the update was aimed not only at improving the appearance and interior. In technical terms, it has also undergone modernization. In particular, new springs, shock absorbers were installed, the steering was upgraded. All design changes of the Japanese crossover are aimed at improving the smoothness of the ride, handling and strict adherence to the driver's commands. What came out of this can be found out on a test drive of the novelty.
As for power units, in our country the set of motors will remain without any changes. That is, for Qashqai 2017, a 1.2-liter DIG-T turbo engine (115 hp) 6-speed manual or CVT, 1.6 liter diesel will be available. 130 hp dCi, 2.0 liter petrol aspirated (144 hp) 6-speed manual or CVT.

Prices and equipment Nissan Qashqai
The start of sales of the updated crossover is scheduled for this summer. Interestingly, the Russians will receive a novelty not much later than the Europeans. All the same, Nissan Qashqai's own production in St. Petersburg is a big plus. The price is likely to increase on average. Today, the most affordable version of Qashqai is offered for 999,000 rubles. In the base version of the XE with a 1.2-liter powertrain with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive 2WD, buyers can enjoy the presence of air conditioning, an audio system, heated seats, lifts for all doors and even cruise control.
The 2016 Nissan Qashqai is the latest version of one of Russia's most popular SUVs to date. The car attracts experienced drivers with many aspects: stability, functionality, reliability. However, most inexperienced buyers first of all pay attention to the dimensions, design, technical characteristics and, of course, the cost of the crossover. All these parameters in a Japanese car are perfectly balanced, and therefore the demand for a car is very high.
Dimensions
The impression of getting to know the second generation Nissan Qashqai J11 remains quite pleasant. It is not worth dwelling on the design of the updated crossover once again, since a lot has been said about the beautiful style of the modern car body. In addition, a sufficient number of photos and videos have been posted on the Web to study in detail every detail of the exterior. It is much more interesting to study the overall dimensions of the Nissan Qashqai, which form the basis of an attractive image of the car.
The SUV belongs to class J, so its length is 4.4 meters. The value can hardly be called large, but it allows the car to have a good wheelbase of 2.65 meters, which, in turn, gives the designers the opportunity to make the interior and trunk roomy. The last parameter also depends on the height, which at the Qashqai J11 reaches 1.8 meters from the ground level. The width of the crossover is standard for Japanese cars - 1.6 meters.
Thus, the Nissan Qashqai has sufficient dimensions that allow the driver and four passengers to comfortably fit in the cabin.
The weight of the car can hardly be called impressive, but the car is not included in the category of light crossovers either. The curb weight of the 2016 release is 1.4 tons, while the gross weight is 1.85 tons. Thus, Japanese engineers have established a load capacity of 475 kg for the car. Simply put, these are 5 adults and quite strong men. However, most often women and children also ride in the car, so it becomes possible to take an additional load of up to 200-300 kg. The trunk at the same time has a maximum volume of 430 liters, and with a decrease in the number of seats in the car to two (folding the back row) - 1585 liters.
Interestingly, the 2016 Nissan Qashqai has a more spacious luggage compartment than the first-generation crossovers, which had almost 100 liters less volume for about the same dimensions.
At Nissan Qashqai, its dimensions affect handling. The width of the rear track is 1.55 meters, and the front track is 15 cm wider. Such a slight difference allows the machine to be more stable when maneuvering, in particular in corners. In addition, it provides increased reliability of the design. We must not forget about such an important parameter as clearance. the crossover is quite high - 200 mm. This allows you to avoid damage to the bottom when driving on broken road sections. Dimensions Nissan Qashqai 2014-2016 can be considered the most balanced among all versions of the car. With these parameters, the body of the 2014-2016 Nissan Qashqai looks the most organic, and the interior offers more space.
Specifications
Nissan Qashqai 2016 differs not only in excellent external characteristics. The performance characteristics of a new generation of cars is one of the serious reasons to buy an SUV. The manufacturer offered five types of engines. The first three are petrol units with volumes of 1.2, 1.6 and 2 liters. They are available with both manual and CVT.
The weakest 1.2-liter version is capable of accelerating to 185 km / h due to the power of 115 horsepower and a torque of 190 Nm.
Fuel consumption, depending on the transmission, ranges from 5.6 to 6.2 liters.
For the two-liter gasoline Nissan Qashqai, the technical specifications were worked out in more detail. This applies to both operational parameters and a variety of different variations. In particular, the Japanese offered not only front-wheel drive, but also rear-wheel drive, which is quite popular in certain circles. The latest improvements to this unit were carried out before the release of the updated 2015 Nissan Qashqai. Now he is able to produce up to 144 hp. With. and 200 Nm. The crossover accelerates to 194 km / h, spending from 7.3 to 7.7 liters of gasoline for every 100 km.
The least popular is the 1.6-liter gasoline engine. In fact, it is the most powerful among the 2016 Nissan Qashqai models running on AI-95 fuel, as it is capable of producing up to 163 hp. With. and 240 Nm.
However, the low popularity of an SUV, no matter how much horsepower it has, is associated with high gasoline consumption (up to 10 liters) and the lack of a wide need for such a powerful car (the 2-liter version suits the buyer much more).
Although this does not negate how strong the car looks on the road (videos from the car's tests demonstrate this perfectly).
The characteristics of the 2016 Nissan Qashqai discussed above are seen by most motorists as attractive, but diesel versions of power plants should not be discounted when choosing a car. There are only two of them: 1.5 and 1.6 liters. The first of the motors is very good in terms of performance: 110 hp. With. and 260 Nm. But the biggest plus of the Nissan Qashqai J11 diesel is fuel consumption. It does not exceed 3.8 liters at low speeds and 5-7 liters at low and high speeds, which allows you to significantly save on fuel. The 2nd generation Nissan Qashqai has technical specifications with a 1.6-liter unit that look much more impressive: 130 hp. With. power and 320 Nm of torque. However, at high speeds, the car consumes about 7–8, and sometimes 9–10 liters, instead of the declared 4.9.
Price
Nissan Qashqai 2016 release in a new body is a tasty morsel in the SUV market. The Japanese crossover has a number of serious advantages that attract buyers, even despite the relatively high cost of the vehicle. The new Nissan Qashqai 2016 release today costs about 1-1.2 million rubles for the basic package.
Given the price level and the state of the current car market, such an amount for an excellent quality SUV is ideal.
This is explained by the fact that the production of the new Qashqai has been carried out in Russia, and for several years now, so the cost of exporting cars is not included in the price.
Prices can vary greatly depending on the dealership. It is impossible to say unequivocally how much and why the cost in one salon is higher than in another. You can find out, but only by reading the description of the car in a particular configuration. There is a suggested retail price offered to sellers by the manufacturer. However, various promotions, special offers and other bonuses can reduce it, and this depends on the salons themselves.
For example, even within Moscow, Nissan Qashqai J11 can cost 950 thousand rubles in one place, and 1.2 million rubles in another.
Of course, not everyone can afford a new car. However, you should not expect that a used car will cost significantly less. Nissan Qashqai 2014 release in good condition costs about 700-800 thousand rubles, Nissan Qashqai 2015 - about 850-900 thousand rubles. Pricing is influenced by many factors: the condition of the components, wear of parts, mileage, additional improvements. There are also cases when a used crossover is more expensive than a new one. For example, on one of the sites you can find a 2015 Nissan Qashqai in the basic configuration with a mileage of 50,000 km and a price tag of 1.3 million rubles. This is explained by the ideal condition of the car and the presence of many technological improvements that make the 2015 Nissan Qashqai more comfortable and attractive.
Conclusion
The second generation Nissan Qashqai is a chic urban crossover that has been extremely popular in Russia from the very moment it appeared in the showrooms of official dealers. Nissan Qashqai's technical specifications, convenient dimensions, excellent performance and reasonable price are a great reason to sell an old car and buy a new Japanese SUV or a 2014 Nissan Qashqai.
