Introductory - for 2 years 65 thousand. For every 100 km - 15% of the run on a terrible dirt road-shaking and off-road, on a good track speed 130-150 km / h, urban mode 30% of the run. Average consumption 9.8
The maximum speed has all the necessary options, the lowest price among competitors.
I am happy about the cruise control, anticorrosive and how the car "holds" the road (well, rubber is not the last place)
Passable, never bogged down yet. although there is where (forest, field 2 times for departure, snow and showers in the range). Yes, not Niva and not Sheviniva (there is an experience of "shit" mixing), and sometimes you have to look at the road, and adequately assess the situation.
There were reviews about poor heating, the ass heats up quickly and hot, the stove quickly draws heat into the cabin, maintains the temperature at 1 speed. I don't like konday categorically, but if necessary, it works fine, especially in the city in the heat.
The machine is utilitarian and fully fulfills the assigned tasks of a semi-rural dweller. A sort of simple and straightforward comfortable mini-truck.
I will say to those who blaspheme Duster - buy yourself a Ferarri (though you can find it for 5 kopecks), and forward along our roads with holes and ruts. Or think before buying what you take and why you need it.
I hardly use the hands-free function. I can hear perfectly, but I practically do not. Weak microphone.
- poor visibility in the rear-view mirror. Especially if the passenger is sitting, whose head almost completely covers the right rear "window". Although I have a "ski" and a view from the left side rack to the right. Side mirrors make the situation easier. They are good, there is no need to readjust when parking.
- maybe not "-" understated speed readings by 4 km / h
- on dashboard no engine temperature readings, sometimes annoying in winter
- drove into a puddle after a heavy rain - the check caught fire. She already waved her hand to correct.
- in winter it is necessary to check the gas tank cap, after washing, do not open, do not close
- lack of rubber bands in the right places. All the dust is "in itself". Especially when opening rear doors, all the arches are dusty, you wipe with a cloth. For money, I installed a sealing rubber on the hood, the engine and engine compartment became cleaner.
- about short programs - read the "textbook" (instructions). The first for off-road and loaded car (+ trailer). I get under way with the second. The fifth and sixth have a large range, no unnecessary body movements are needed.
Almost every 15 thousand I change the front or rear stabilizer struts. Perhaps off-road shaking makes itself felt.
- under warranty, replacement of the residual oxygen sensor (lambda probe) by 30 thousand
- under the guarantee, the body was repainted in fragments (cracks in the forestry complex of gutters on both sides, chips from gravel on the rear arches and fenders) for 45 thousand. For money, we glued an armored film on the arches.
- 4 times changed the burned out dipped beam lamps. Especially right hemorrhoids change.
- oil and filter change according to the maintenance schedule.
Often people who are faced with the choice of a car think: which car will be better? This is usually a very difficult question, because sometimes you have to compare. vehicles from the same price group, and sometimes from different ones. Today we'll talk about which car is better: Nissan Qashqai or Renault Duster. Let's start!
It is rather difficult to compare Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai, but we will try. Let's start with the looks and design of both cars.
1) Appearance.
The Nissan Qashqai crossover has won many millions of fans around the world not only for its convenience and reliability, but also for its excellent appearance.
Aggressive, stylish and powerful - that's how it looks from the outside. Its elegant design was not only created for beauty's sake, but also has certain important tasks. The sleek, dynamic design of the entire hull reduces drag, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption. The interior of the car is pretty good. Spacious, neat and consolidated. It is very pleasant to have various electronics, which greatly simplifies driving a car, and makes any trip as comfortable as possible. However, such a salon has its drawbacks. They say that a person who is more than 175 centimeters tall will find it problematic to fit in the driver's seat.
The exterior of the Renault Duster is dynamic and modern in character. High ground clearance, protection provide the driver with a problem-free and comfortable ride even on the most bumpy roads. The salon in Duster is very spacious and, probably, the passenger will be more comfortable in it than in Qashqai, this is due to the large distance between the seats, which makes it spacious. However, the interior decoration of Renault remains rather prim, it loses to Nissan.
Conclusion by appearance:
The Duster will be equipped much better than the Nissan Qashqai, since the maximum price of the Duster remains at the level of the base Qashqai model, so the equipment and convenience in this price group remains unambiguously with the French.
2) Engine.
Nissan cannot boast of a large engine displacement. 1, 2 liters - many smirk incredulously when they hear about this. However, such an engine "One-and-two-with-turbo" is much better than many others, and even more so, the old naturally aspirated 1.6 hp. Less fuel consumption, more traction, stronger acceleration. Strong arguments, however. If you are still very conservative, then Nissan left the choice of the engine to you. A 2.0 HP engine is still available.
Engine displacement: from 1.2 liters to 2.0 liters.
Engine power: 114 to 144 Horse power.
Acceleration from 0-100 km / h: 10.9 seconds.
Drive: front.
Maximum speed: 185 km / h
Renault Duster has three types of engines: there are two gasoline with a volume of 1, 6 and 2.0 liters, which produce power of 101 and 134 horsepower. The third diesel engine (dCi) with a volume of 1.5 liters reaches 90 horsepower, but it is much more economical. In our country, the greatest popularity was found precisely gasoline engines... But if power is not the most important thing for you, then the Duster with diesel engine, which will make it possible to significantly save on fuel.
Engine capacity: 1.6 l; 2.0 l; 1.5 l (diesel).
Engine power: 101; 134; 90 (diesel) horsepower.
Acceleration from 0-100 km / h: about 12 seconds (depending on engine)
Maximum speed: 158-172 km / h (depending on engine)
Drive: front; full.
So, as for the results of the comparison of engines, it is impossible to give a definite answer for sure. Let's remember that Qashqai is still an urban crossover, and Duster is a serious piece for different terrain. Therefore, the choice is only yours.
3) Transmission.
A CVT transmission is installed on Nissan Qashqai. Today, such a transmission uses modern materials and technologies, which allows significant savings in weight and size. The service life is 200 thousand kilometers. However, practice shows that this transmission fails very rarely (if you follow it and do not forget about transmission oil for every 60 thousand km). There are problems: on some cars, after passing 50 thousand kilometers, malfunctions and malfunctions begin in the operation of microswitches, but a simple replacement of the latter nullifies the problem. Judging by the reviews of the owners, most of them are satisfied with their CVT transmission, but they also warn that one should not forget about the basic needs of the CVT (timely oil filling, control).
Renault Duster's transmission is simpler and more unpretentious than that of the car above. This simplicity is a definite plus for the car. Renault's transmission design allows for easy and rather effortless drive control. By turning one button you can change four-wheel drive car front wheel drive, and vice versa. There are, of course, disadvantages. So in the mode of full blocking of the electromagnetic clutch, the speed of the car should not be more than 80 km / h. This 4x4 mode can overheat the clutch, and this, in turn, will lead to damage to the transmission. This is how it works four-wheel drive Renault Duster.
As for the transmission, it is impossible to give an unambiguous conclusion that it is better to give. Each has its own pros and cons, so it remains for you to choose again.
4) Equipment and prices.
Nissan Qashqai has nine different configurations. The cost of the cheapest is about a million rubles. The most expensive is estimated at one and a half million. Of course, there is a difference between them. But when it comes to safety and comfort, each model combines these two important foundations. Electronics, manufacturability and comfort on the road are what any Kashkai model can boast of today.
In total, Duster has 4 types of equipment, which in turn are divided into a kind of subclasses (depending on the arrangement of the salon). The cheapest model is front wheel drive. Prices for it start at six hundred thousand rubles. A 4x4 car costs at least seven hundred and fifty thousand. There are models, the price of which starts from 1 million rubles. It all depends on the internal arrangement of the car, so you will need to choose how comfortable you are going to move around the world.
SUVs are a type of vehicle that annually increases sales growth in the Russian market. This is due to the not very good situation of domestic roads. Moreover, you definitely cannot do without such a car in the conditions of the Russian off-road. The publication provides a critical analysis of Nissan Qashkai and Renault Duster. At the end of the article, you will find out who will be the winner. Let's make a comparison, in the course of which we will find out which is better? We will also help readers decide what to choose the "Frenchman" Renault Duster or Nissan Qashqai. At the same time, it is necessary to compare the machines objectively and accurately.
Style
Nissan Qashqai especially stands out external appearance... The main design elements of the car are characterized by elegance, smooth transitions and streamlining. This speaks of a detailed approach to creating the style of the car. Previously, Qashqai did not particularly stand out among other cars in city traffic. Now the situation has changed dramatically. Restyling allowed the crossover to become something like Murano.
If you compare, then Renault Duster has a rougher look, which is really not devoid of its own style. The latest modification, released by the French carmaker, looks more attractive. In front, they installed LED headlights, a bumper, side lights, which embellished the appearance of a European.
Although the manufacturer presents the Duster as an Urban car, it still looks more like an SUV. Good ground clearance, a trimmed bumper, powerful wheel arches give the impression that everything is passable by the Duster. Therefore, the external design of the car predetermines the desire to drive a Japanese in the city, and the aggressive style of a Frenchman is more suitable for out-of-town walks. Here's a good comparison for you, which is better? Everything here is clear and understandable, what to choose for trips around the city, and what is better for out-of-town trips.
Cabin layout
The internal space of Kashkai allows us to speak of a sufficient level of solidity, where there are practically no flaws. There is a certain element of chic in the cars of the latest line from the Japanese manufacturer. This is due to the expensive finishing material and spaciousness of the cabin. For this parameter, Nissan is on par with expensive cars of a similar class.
By design solutions, Nissan Qashqai has become very ergonomic. Everything here is done for a person. All levers are freely accessible, their use is effortless and the crossover is a pleasure to ride.
If you compare, then Renault is inferior to its salon due to its simplicity, but at the same time it wins with its practicality. There are no unnecessary elements here. Only the minimum necessary constructive and design solutions are used. Renault in Duster embodied the style of minimalism. At the same time, all control units are easily accessible and driving is comfortable.
In the front seats of the Nissan Qashkai, even a tall person feels free. This is possible due to the long seats and the reliability of the sidewalls.
In this case, the situation changes dramatically in the back row. It is problematic for the third passenger to get settled due to the economy of the space allotted for the protective channel of the transmission.
Renault Duster in front limits the space due to the ill-conceived steering adjustment system. Although the situation can be remedied by using a wide range of seat adjustment. At the same time, the rear space is limited due to the fact that the front row seats can be moved far away. The rear transmission channel also does not allow the third passenger to sit comfortably, as in the Japanese.
Dynamism
Renault Duster versions are available with three types of engines: one runs on diesel fuel, the other two use gasoline as fuel. In the basic version, the Duster develops 102 hp, and the improved power rises to 135 hp. Diesel is even more economical, but inferior in horses. Even when turbocharged, it can produce just 90 hp.
As opposed to Renault Duster crossover Nissan Qashkai is equipped with three gasoline-powered internal combustion engines. Basic power plant is a 115 hp unit. With other trim levels, the power rises to 130 hp. and 140 hp. respectively. Sometimes a gearbox with a variator is installed instead of a manual transmission, which is better than a 4-speed Duster automatic transmission, which is also quite outdated.
Duster holds the road confidently. The French SUV cannot be compared with VIP-class cars, at the same time it fully justifies its obedience to the price for which it is sold on the market. But this only applies to a car equipped with a 6-speed mechanics, where it is ideally matched ratio... Therefore, he is quite nimble when overtaking. The suspension evens out the Duster during rolls and reliably dampens vibrations that occur on harsh off-road conditions. This is a big plus and he helped many to make a comparison and conclude that "Japanese" or "French" is better.
The controllability and obedience of the Japanese is similar to that of the French. In some cases it can be worse. The dynamics of the car when starting and braking is low due to the installed variator. But Nissan's suspension is just a fairy tale. Even small vibrations are not felt in the cabin, no matter how heavy road conditions overcomes the crossover.
Final conclusions
Summing up, it is safe to say that the Duster produced by Renault and the Nissan Qashqai, produced by Nissan, are of about the same class and are worthy competitors to each other. It's unambiguous to say that it can't be better. Under good road conditions, the Frenchman Renault is better suited, and the representative of the country of the rising sun, Qashqai, is better suited to the "intersection". What to choose? The question is individual for each person.
Given the domestic road conditions, the crossovers that appeared in the early 90s became a real salvation for Russian motorists. Of course, at first not everyone could afford them, but over time the segment developed, competition intensified, which had a positive effect on the price. Today, you can get a good-quality SUV for a relatively small amount.
Asian and European concerns, in particular Nissan and Renault, are rightfully considered the leaders of the class. Therefore, today we will try to compare Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai, who managed to loudly declare themselves on the world market.
Let's start with Qashqai (called Dualis in Japan), the concept of which was presented to the public back in 2004 at the Geneva auto show. The official presentation took place in the French capital in the fall of 2006. Qashqai is considered the first car of the Japanese concern, which was developed exclusively by European specialists. For the first year of sales, about 100 thousand copies of the crossover were sold in European countries alone. After the start of deliveries of the car in the United States, the level of sales increased even more. Since 2008, a 7-seater Qashqai modification has been produced, which merged with the X-Trail model in 2014.
In 2009, the developers carried out a large-scale restyling, as a result of which the security system, which was lame in the debut version, was significantly improved. At the end of 2013, Qashqai 2 saw the light, sales of which started already after 3 months. Since 2015, Qashqai has been produced at the Russian branch in the city on the Neva. In 2014, Qashqai was recognized as the safest in the segment.
In December 2009, the French concern Renault presented its next crossover - Renault Duster, which was developed by the specialists of the tech center in Guiancourt. Car enthusiasts were a little surprised by the choice of the modular platform by the developers, who used the trolley of the "baby" Nissan Zhuk. The main advantage of this module is that it supports both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive systems. As of 2014, the concern produced more than one million crossovers, a large part of which was sold to Russian motorists.
In 2013, Duster underwent restyling, after which the list of equipment was significantly expanded. By the way, for the CIS countries, the SUV on the capital "Avtoframos". In 2013, Duster was recognized as the best at the end of the year in the Russian market. At the same time, the assembly of its twin brother, the Nissan Terrano, began, the main market for which was developing countries.
What's better? Judging from the reviews of domestic motorists, the Japanese crossover is more popular in Russia, which is why we give it an advantage at this point.
Specifications
"Filling" is the first thing that buyers pay attention to when choosing a car. Therefore, we decided to focus on this aspect. Of course, it is not easy to objectively compare specifications two different cars, but, fortunately, in 2017, the concerns released updated versions of cars, the two-liter modifications of which we will oppose today.
If speak about overall dimensions, then the Qashqai body is 62 mm longer than the Duster, but 30 mm lower. The wheelbase is 27 mm longer for the French car - 2673 mm / 2646 mm. The ground clearance is also higher for the Duster - 210 mm / 200 mm. Given the relative compactness of the Duster, it is not surprising that it is lighter than its opponent - 1370 kg / 1436 kg. However, the reason for this difference in weight is the installation of additional mounts on the body of the "Japanese", which makes it more reliable. The trunk capacity is 22 liters more for Qashqai - 430 liters / 408 liters. As for the sizes rims then both models are equipped with 16-inch alloy elements.
Now let's get back to the topic of engines. So, power units both cars have a volume of 2 liters and run on gasoline. Among other common points, I would like to note the same type of transmission connected to them - a six-speed "mechanics". In terms of power, Duster and Qashqai are also approximately at the same level - 144/143 horsepower, with a slight advantage of the Japanese SUV.
However, due to the fact that the Qashqai engine is capable of providing a large maximum torque, it is the "Japanese" who has the best dynamics. This can be judged even by the time rate of acceleration from zero to hundreds - 9.9 s / 10.3 s. As for, here again Qashqai has positively distinguished itself - 7.7 l / 7.8 l.
Appearance
Despite the fact that both cars belong to the same "weight category", outwardly they are decorated in completely different ways. The exterior of each of them has its own merits, and if you are wondering what to choose, then before that you need to decide on the purpose of the crossover. For example, the bright and dynamic exterior of the Nissan Qashqai is perfect for a business person who sets himself only serious goals in his life and moves forward towards them. Renault Duster, on the contrary, has a very practical and simple appearance and is more suitable for the role of a car for driving in the countryside. I would also like to note the incredible evolution of the design of the French SUV, which, to be honest, used to look somewhat shabby and absolutely nondescript.
The front end of the Qashqai is equipped with a wide windshield, which abruptly merges into a very stylish and embossed hood, which boasts fantastic streamlining. Duster can fend off this with a convex "lobovuha" and a strictly flat hood, which gives the car's appearance even more aggressiveness.
Nasal part Japanese crossover looks very bright and high tech. Here you can see the branded grille, with chrome design, and conceptual headlights with LED filling. At Duster, the "front" is equipped with a very unusual false radiator grille, smoothly turning into three-zone optics. By the way, visually the grille and headlights look like one monolithic element.
In the lower part of the body there is a trapezoidal air intake and neat oval foglights. The Duster has no surprises here either - a strict air intake with powerful plastic overlays and very similar fog lights.
On the side, the cars are also very different. This can be judged even under the contrast of the rear and front clearance of Qashqai, which gives the impression that the body of the SUV is falling forward. With Duster, in this regard, it is more and more traditional. In addition, the entire lateral surface of the "Japanese" is strewn with ribs and stampings, and the Duster's entire profile part is absolutely flat and smooth.
As for the stern, there are even more differences. First of all, we note the presence of a visor in Qashqai, which is not even close to Duster. French crossover boasts a larger boot lid.
Be that as it may, given the different purpose of the cars, we will award a draw at this point.
Salon
The interior of cars is also not so simple. The interior decoration of each model is bright and pretty in its own way. For example, in the design of the Duster salon, the developers preferred strict colors and geometry. In Qashqai, the salon is made more progressive, but minimalism prevails here and in terms of technology, it seems simpler than the opponent.
The Duster dashboard seems more informative and readable, but only its location is not the best. In Qashqai, on the contrary - the layout of the panel leaves much to be desired, but its position is ideal. Wheel undoubtedly better in the Japanese crossover.
As for roominess, the Duster salon in this regard is the undisputed favorite. But the quality of finishing materials is clearly better in the Japanese crossover, and this is not surprising, because the simplicity of the design is exactly what the fans of the French model expected.
Price
An analysis of the Russian market showed that a two-liter modification will cost 890 thousand rubles, and for a similar version of a competitor, you will have to pay 1,250,000 rubles. The difference is crazy, and the final conclusion about which car is better to buy, let everyone make Duster and Qashqai after a test drive. Additionally, we note that the basic set of equipment of the "Frenchman" is in no way inferior to his counterpart.
The large automobile concern Renault-Nissan presented at Russian market many models that have won their popularity among the domestic population. Very often people wonder what better nissan Qashqai or Renault Duster are two crossovers recognized as folk in Russia.
Seemingly the cost of a car Nissan brands significantly exceeds the price of its "younger" fellow in the class, does it mean that this is due to its outstanding characteristics, is it really so? In this article, we decided to compare Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai for all possible points.
Appearance
Let's start an overview of the two crossovers with their appearance:
Visually evaluating Renault Duster, we can safely attribute it to the class of "off-road vehicles", this is facilitated by: large wheel arches, protective sills and roof rails. Another important and significant element for driving a Frenchman off-road is the raised front bumper.
Comparison of Nissan Qashqai with Renault Duster allows us to note the following elements: "Japanese" has smoother shapes and a voluminous front bumper typical for an urban crossover.
Dimensions (edit)
For many motorists, an important factor is the dimensions of the machine in use. In terms of their size, crossovers do not differ much from each other:
- The length of the Duster is 4317 mm, while the Nissan has 4377;
- In terms of height, when compared with the French rails, Renault wins with a score of 1625 mm against 1595 mm;
- The wheelbase also has a minimal difference, 2646 mm for Duster and 2673 for Kashkai.
According to these characteristics Nissan Qashqai and Renault Duster may get a draw.
Salon
Let's move on to the interior decoration of cars, consider both the dimensions and the features of each model:
Duster has a simpler interior, no frills of wooden inserts and gilded elements, expensive hard plastic is well planted.
Between the front and rear seats 67 cm, which is quite enough for an average person no more than 185 cm tall;
The Frenchman suffers a little ergonomics of the cabin, not all controls are easily accessible, it will take time to get used to their use;
The height of the Duster cabin allows people of average height to fit without any problems, while in Kashkai this parameter has lost 4 cm and causes discomfort for passengers with a height of 180 cm.
The Nissan feels more elegance, the ergonomics are many times better than that of the Frenchman, everything is at the driver's hand and is done with taste.
At the same time, the Japanese suffers from the inconvenience of the driver's seat, the high seating position is combined with a low ceiling, this place is clearly designed for people up to 180 cm tall;
In terms of trunk volume, the victory on the side of Kashkai - 430 liters versus 408 liters for the Frenchman.
Specifications
In this section, we will analyze the most important aspects of the operational aspects of Renault Duster and Nissan Kashkaya, which allow us to evaluate the car precisely as a means of transportation:
- The ground clearance for the Frenchman is 210 mm, for the Kashkai 200 mm;
- The turning circle has a minimal difference - 10.4 and 10.6 in favor of Duster;
- The mass of the car is again on the side of the Renault crossover - 1370 kg versus 1464 Japanese kg;
- Fuel consumption when comparing 2-liter units brings victory to Qashqai - 6.9 l / 100 km, while for Duster this figure is 7.8.
Renault Duster and Nissan Qashqai engine
Let's start considering the power units of cars:
- Renault Duster 1.6 engine is well suited for city driving and small off-road, where the optimal speed is no more than 80 km / h. This does not mean that it is too weak, the power will be enough to make a quick overtaking on the highway, but still its "cruising" speed ranges from 80 to 120 km / h. At high speeds with revolutions of more than 3000, it begins to howl, the same trouble is with Kashkai;
- The Nissan Qashqai engine has the most advantageous torque: 200 (20) at 4400 rpm. The Frenchman is insignificantly, but inferior, having 195 (20) / 4000 rpm;
- The horsepower is identical when compared to the 2-liter engine.
Suspension and steering
If you decide to choose Renault Duster, then you will find:
- The ability to choose 4WD in any version, where rear suspension- independent multi-link, and the front - with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers;
- On front-wheel drive Frenchmen, the front remains the same, and the rear is semi-dependent;
- The Duster's steering wheel is a little tight in control, but this does not affect the movement on the highway in any way, all the bumps and potholes only slightly shake the body, without knocking the car off the set course. The car is just optimal for Russian roads;
- The Kashkai control will still deliver a little more convenience, smooth responses, the car does not make any sudden jerks;
- Nissan's suspension is "dense", swallows small potholes, without disturbing the comfort of movement.
Transmission
The types of transmissions for crossovers are different:
- Nissan Qashqai is presented on the market with a variator, to which many are skeptical;
- Duster meets 6-speed manual transmission and 4-speed petrol automatic.
Options and prices
It remains to compare crossovers by possible configuration variations and prices for Russians:
- The starting price for Qashqai starts at 950,000 rubles: 6 airbags, air conditioning, ESP, radio and 1.6 liter engine - all this is included in the base price;
- The simplest Duster equipment costs from 640 thousand rubles, it is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission gasoline with 114 horses;
- If you want to buy a Renault crossover with 4WD, then you will have to pay 120,000 rubles for this;
- The cost of a machine with a 2-liter engine for Duster will cost 950 thousand rubles, luxury equipment with the same engine will cost 1 million 30 thousand rubles;
- Top grade Kashkaya with 19-inch alloy wheels and all kinds of electronics that increase the comfort of movement to a new level will cost 1,459,000 rubles.
Summary
The cars described in the article have many of their pros and cons, they quite differ in their capabilities and, in general, have different paths. If Nissan Qashqai with its aggressive appearance, increased comfort completely conquers the urban environment, then the Duster looks more reliable on country roads, ideally fitting into the harsh Russian climate.
