New "Kashkay" - reviews of owners, photo

"Nissan Kashkay" is, perhaps, the very first urban crossover, which, after its debut, immediately gained recognition in the world market. It became a real bestseller, the most hit and popular carpenter in both the European and Russian markets. However, the world does not stand still, and in the spring of this year the Japanese concern presented the new Nissan Cascay. Photo and review of the second generation of crossovers - later in this article.

Design

Despite the fact that the company released a new generation, the machine still retained its previous brand features. She remained as bright and recognizable as before. But in comparison with its predecessor, the new "Cascais" (you can see the photo of the car a little lower) has considerably refreshed and become more sportive. Now thanks to the relief body forms and new optics, the novelty will not be inconspicuous on the background of the rest of the car mass. Such a "predator" is definitely not lost in the crowd. But these are not all the features that a new "Kashkai" can please its customers. Experts say that now, with a new design, the company can count on a wider range of consumers, because the machine has become relevant for active youth. If we talk in more detail about the changes, we can say that they were mostly cosmetic. Of the new, we should note a more pronounced chrome grille, a large unpainted air intake in the lower part of the bumper, and a chrome edging of the "guns" of the fog lamps. Also, as an option, new alloy wheels appeared, which look very harmonious against the background of the overall design of the crossover. Also there was a panoramic roof. In general, the external appearance of the Japanese has become more dynamic, expressive and even sporting in some detail.

Body dimensions and ground clearance

In comparison with its predecessors, the new "Kashkay" slightly recovered in size. Thus, its total length was 4377 millimeters, and its width was 1837 millimeters. A little bit decreased the height - up to 1595 millimeters. As for the ground clearance, it in the second generation of crossovers has decreased to 18 centimeters. It is worth noting that the first generation of "Nissan Kashkay" had a higher ground clearance, which was equal to 20 centimeters. Perhaps, soon the Japanese will develop under the "Nissan Kashkay" their package of "bad roads", which will still raise the clearance by at least a couple of centimeters.

Capacity

Together with the length increased and the amount of luggage space. Now the new "Kashkay Nissan" is able to accommodate up to 430 liters of luggage. And if you fold the rear row of seats, this volume will increase to 1585 liters.

New "Nissan Kashkay" - photo and interior review

Particularly pleased with the fact that due to the increase in the length of free space in the cabin has become more. But not only this surprises the new "Cascais". The owners' comments also mark a more refined interior design. Now it has become more solid and modern. Unlike its Chinese counterparts, Nissan boasts of high-quality finishing materials and many additional control buttons. The details and their placement are so thought out that the new interior can satisfy even the most capricious buyer. And it's true, there are no superfluous or ugly details inside the new crossover. The manufacturer also took into account the ergonomics of the placement of controls. The driver does not need to reach or intuitively look for any button, fearing losing control of the movement - all the necessary keys are on the steering wheel. And there are a lot of them - even the Mercedes-class premium cars were not equipped with such multi-functional steering wheels.

Pleasantly pleased with the presence of a digital liquid crystal computer between the scales of the speedometer and tachometer. With chrome, the developers decided not to experiment and limited themselves to door handles. All other details have plastic inserts "for aluminum", which also looks modern and harmonious. For the convenience of the driver and passengers are provided various small things in the form of coasters, pockets, niches and armrests. Also very pleased with its sound insulation is the new "Nissan Kashkay". Reviews note that compared to the previous generation, the novelty has become more quiet - there is no excessive noise from the engine and the rumble of tires from under the wheel arches.

Specifications

All the engines that are provided for the second generation of crossovers are completely new. "Nissan Kashkay" for the Russian market is equipped with 2 gasoline units, among which the base one has a capacity of 1.2 liters and develops power up to 115 horsepower. As a transmission for this engine provides one six-speed "mechanics", which accelerates the crossover to 185 kilometers per hour (maximum speed). A jerk from zero to "hundreds" with a 1.2-liter engine is estimated at 11 seconds. The fuel consumption pleases - up to 5.3 liters on the highway and up to 7.8 liters in the city. Very good performance, both for the city SUV.

The second engine with its volume of 2.0 liters is capable of developing a power of 144 horsepower. The dynamic characteristics of this engine, in comparison with the previous line of engines, are completely different (with the development of the technology, newer ones were used). "Nissan Kashkay" with a powerful two-liter engine makes it easy to jerk to 100 kilometers per hour for 9.9-10.5 seconds (depending on the gearbox). At the same time, the "maximal" is 194 kilometers per hour. But this is not the peak of speed, which can show a new "Nissan Qashqai". Reviews argue that if you remove the electronic speed limiter, the car will go much faster than it was stated in the passport. By the way, this motor is aggregated by two kinds of check points. Among them there is a mechanical transmission on 6 steps and a stepless variator. As for the fuel consumption indicators, we can say that the new "Kashkasi" (photo of the car you can see in the article) is one of the most economical crossovers on the world market. Depending on the type of drive and the selected gearbox, its average fuel consumption is 6.9-7.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Recall that now, as before, in Russia will supply front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions of the crossover.

Diesel versions will not officially be supplied to Russia, as they are not designed for fuel consumption of a standard less than "Euro-5".

Prices in the Russian market

As the manufacturer noted, the price of the second generation of crossovers will not differ much from the previous one. So, the initial cost of the new car "Kashkay Nissan" in the basic configuration is 848 thousand rubles. For the version with a variator and two-liter petrol engine it is necessary to pay in addition 122 thousand rubles. The modification with all-wheel drive is available at a price of 1 million 116 thousand rubles. Well, the most expensive, top-end equipment, will cost about 1 million 336 thousand rubles. But it can also be completed with a package of options for an additional fee.

Level of equipment

What really pleases is the ability to choose bundles. They are on the Russian market provided as much as 6. And the basic equipment package already includes the following set of equipment:

1. Side and front airbags.
2. BAS, ABS and EBD systems.
3. Brand audio with four speakers.
4. Air conditioning.
5. The steering column with the ability to adjust for the flight and height.
6. Electric windows of all doors.
7. A small spare tire (in the popular language, "dock").
8. Curtain airbags for both rows of seats.
9. The system of assistance when starting from the spot.
10. Electric heated seats.
11. Halogen optics and rear fog lights.

Conclusion

As you can see, the level of equipment is quite good, especially if you compare it with the basic equipment of some German analogues, where there is not even an air conditioner. At the same time, the Japanese managed to meet the cost of 848 thousand rubles, and this is a very big step towards the buyers.
