The new Nissan Qashqai Exterior Design
- 6 years ago
The most dramatic enhancements to the Nissan Qashqai are to its exterior. Featuring a contemporary new look - a style Nissan calls 'Premium Dynamism' - the upgrades are visible from every angle.
The front of the Nissan Qashqai has been completely revised, with an integrated new front bumper fitted as standard. It features much greater use of the car's body colour, with the visible black plastic benefiting from a more premium gloss finish. Vents on each side aid engine cooling.
Mid-way down the bumper, the two horizontal finishers are new. They are coloured black on Visia and Acenta models and satin silver on N-Connecta and above. Front fog lamps - now more integrated and in a lower position - are standard from Acenta grade.
At the heart of redesigned front face of the Qashqai is the latest incarnation of Nissan's iconic 'V-motion' grille, which frames the new Nissan badge. There are two versions of the badge. From N-Connecta it has a completely flat finish; this is because the upgraded radar which forms part of the Qashqai's Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) system is now located behind it. A flat finish allows radar waves to pass through it unhindered. Previously the radar was fitted lower down the grille and to one side. A second version of the badge, contoured in a more traditional way, is fitted to cars without IEB.
