Nissan Qashqai 2011 vs Mitsubishi ASX 2010
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Nissan Qashqai) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mitsubishi ASX) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
Nissan Qashqai has 4x4: Nissan ALL-MODE 4x4 all-wheel drive system automatically distributes torque between the axles from 100 percent to the front wheels to a 50/50 ratio depending on road conditions, ensuring safe and precise handling. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 14 years | 15 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 7 other car models, including Nissan X-Trail, Renault Scenic, Renault Megane | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Nissan Qashqai might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Nissan Qashqai engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Nissan Qashqai 2011 1.6 engine: This 1.6-liter diesel engine is a joint development by Renault-Nissan engineers. It features a cast-iron block, a 16-valve cylinder head with hydraulic lifters, a chain-driven timing system, and a Bosch Common ... More about Nissan Qashqai 2011 1.6 engine | |||
