Let’s start with the introductions. We need a crossover: reliable, with an economical engine, solid gearbox, without four-wheel drive, which makes the car more affordable and cheaper to maintain. The age of the car is up to 10 years, and the mileage is less than 100 thousand kilometers. And we have 1.5 million rubles for this.
Expert from Za Rulem, the oldest and most authoritative automotive publication in Russia, Sergei Zinoviev has already picked up such a crossover and recommends it for purchase.
This is the Nissan Qashqai. You can buy a six-year-old Qashqai on mechanics and with a mileage of less than 100 thousand kilometers for 1.2-1.4 million rubles.
The two-liter engine of this crossover is reliable and economical: in the combined cycle, it burns only 7.7 liters of 95th gasoline per hundred kilometers (but do not even think of pouring 92nd gasoline into it – this is dangerous for engines with direct injection). A mechanical six-speed gearbox to match the engine is reliable and does not increase the crossover’s appetite.
Even with a run of 150 thousand kilometers, there will be no problems with Qashqai. Unless the timing chain can be stretched slightly. Decoking, timely replacement of consumables (well, of course!) And adjustment of the opening will save maslozhora. And try to change the candles with a torque wrench, otherwise there is a risk of cracks in the cylinder head.
There are numerous examples of Qashqai endurance. Some of them have already walked more than half a million kilometers and continue to drive without causing any problems for the owners.
