The first generation of crossovers "Nissan-Qashqai": feedback of owners and the characteristics of the car

For the first time the crossover "Nissan-Kashkay" was presented to the public in October 2006 within the framework of the Paris auto show. And in spite of the fact that by that time world manufacturers had already managed to occupy the niche of compact crossovers with their novelties, "Kashkay" confidently debuted and was recognized as one of the best cars in its class. The first generation of "Japanese" was so successful that in 2009 he needed only cosmetic restyling. Well, let's consider what the small crossover Nissan-Kashkay has gained such popularity in the world market.

Owner feedback and overview of the exterior

Designers have given the novelty a fairly assertive appearance. Front crossover shows us a powerful shock bumper with an unusual design of the air intake (visually it is divided into 2 parts). On the sides is placed the basic optics of a rectangular shape, and between it adorns an openwork grille with a chromed emblem of Nissan. The relief hood and flat roof successfully complete the look of the crossover Nissan-Qashqai. The owners' comments say that the developers managed to create the design of this SUV. However, its main element is still the city. Therefore, comfort should not be in the last place.
