The Nissan Qashqai presents an efficient SUV option for anyone looking for a sturdy and sporty vehicle. While the Qashqai certainly has the looks to suit many people’s tastes, you also need to know that it has the performance to back it up. If you’re in the market for an SUV, you’re likely thinking about what types of terrain it can handle and the tasks it can help you to carry out. That usually involves asking a variety of important questions to help you to be informed and make the right choice.
Four-Wheel Drive Nissan Qashqai
Whether the Nissan Qashqai features four-wheel drive is likely to be one of the first questions on your mind. One thing to keep in mind with the Qashqai is that Nissan want to present smart options that don’t simply give you just one choice. Older generations of the Qashqai feature three modes: two-wheel drive, auto and lock. In two-wheel drive, the car is in front-wheel drive mode unless the tyre slips. When this happens, it switches to 4WD to offer more traction. In Auto mode, the car is in four-wheel drive at all times, while Lock mode keeps all four wheels moving together. New Nissan Qashqai models also offer a choice for drivers. The 4×4-i system offers full-time 2WD or Auto mode, which monitors conditions and adjusts the balance between the front and rear tyres in response. Whether you are driving on or off-road, the Qashqai helps you to drive efficiently and safely. However, although the latest models feature 4x4i and some older models have the three different modes to choose, not all Nissan Qashqai models feature 4WD. Some models have either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. A car that can be either two-wheel drive or 4×4 when you need it offers a great opportunity for drivers who want the best of both worlds. Being able to choose two-wheel drive for maximum efficiency or switch to a flexible option that uses 4WD when you need it most, allows you to choose the most appropriate option for different driving conditions. Whether you’re driving in the rain, going on an off-road adventure or just doing the school drop-off, you can make sure you have the best control.
