Nissan proposes a new S.U.V with great design : the Qashqai.
Posted On Thursday, May 31, 2007 at at Thursday, May 31, 2007 by UnknownDespite a barely unpronounceable name (which created a small challenge at the office) Nissan proposes a new S.U.V with great design : the Qashqai. Straight from the UK design headquarters of Nissan, this S.U.V of 4.31 metres will be powered by 4 different engine offers: - 1.6 litre gasoline engine producing 115HP - 2.0 litre gasoline engine producing 140HP - 1.5 litre diesel engine producing 106HP - 2.0 litre diesel engine producing 150HP Well on one hand, we really appreciated the style of this new sports utility vehicle we are, on the other, rather concerned regarding the power of the engines, especially for off-road adventures. We recently got to test the 2007* Mitsubishi Outlander which will be available through Peugeot and Citroen dealers and had some difficulties with its 170HP. The Qashqai will be available in 5/6 gears manual transmission or with 2 different 6 speeds CVT automatic transmissions. *The review of this vehicle will soon be available at NihonCar.
Hi Gerald,
Found your page while surfing.
The Qashqai has been selling so well that Nissan recently put on an extra 100 full time positions at the factory and they have started expanding the factory.
The Qashqai will be sold as the 'Rogue' in North America and the 'Dualis' here in Australia and a few other markets, including Japan.
Regards,
Mark
