The big test of car news: is the Nissan Qashqai still at the forefront of compact crossovers?

Coincidentally, all but one test car costs around 36 – 37,000 euros, in very different configurations. The starting price of 25,000 or less in this class is only illustrative – as is the origin of the cars. Do you want to test your knowledge?

Hyundai Tucson was Renault Arkana

Which of these cars is made in South Korea?

Logic tells us that Hyundai, because it is a Korean brand. In fact, Tucson manufactures in the Czech Republic, while Renault Arkana is assembled at Samsung Motors’ plant in Busan, South Korea.

Nissan Qashqai vai Peugeot 3008

Who has a higher ground clearance – Nissan or Peugeot?

Nissan cars seem more robust than Peugeot, and the Qashqai can also buy all-wheel drive, which the regular 3008 doesn’t have at all. However, the technical documentation shows that the clearance of the Peugeot parquet reaches 219 millimeters, while that of the Qashqai is only 180. Hard to believe? For us as well!

Volkswagen Tiguan vai Cupra Formentor

Who has wider tires – Formentor or Tiguan?

The power of more than 300 horsepower and the image of the mini Lamborghini Urus push all the money to Cupru. However, the size of Catalan projectile tires, even with expensive copper-colored discs, is only 245/40 R19, while the white tuxedo from Wolfsburg has ordered 19-inch shoes with a 255/45 size sole. So about an inch wider.

In short, in modern cars, as in the movie town of Cineville – nothing is what it looks like….

Nissan Qashqai performance characteristics

But no matter how unwilling to acknowledge it, the dirt road is a good place to check not only the door seal, but also what the sound insulation and suspension is. It must be said that the new Qashqai is level. I like the way the car steered, without too much enthusiasm, but with self-esteem. I generally like cars with vertical panels. Somehow it immediately seems more serious and meaningful.

“First of all, let’s find out about the faislift or modernized models, namely Volkswagen Tiguan and Peugeot 3008. Both manufacturers have done well. The 3008 does not offer anything more than a new front and a few details. In contrast, the growth of the VW Tiguan during the modernization is more noticeable both outside and inside, and under the bonnet. In general, this Tiguan is the best anyone has ever been. Taking into account the development in the direction of electric cars, who knows whether the latter will not remain, ”asks Normunds Avotiņš.

And that’s how we got to the essence of our test and the grand final. And in the finals this time the new Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai meet.

“The new Nissan Qashqai has a lot of things to like, so I’m not surprised that people are fighting to be the first to come to it. But if I could buy a car for the same money, with a larger choice of engines, more design wholesale and a larger interior, and in which things that Nissan dictates in the big new Qashqai already seem self-evident, I would probably choose Hyundai Tucson. Therefore, the winner of our test is Hyundai Tucson, ”Avotiņš summarizes the test.
