Nissan Qashqai - 2.0 dCi (110 kW/148 bhp)
Date of manufacture: april 2007 - up to now
|
|
|
The match between car and caravan is perfect in accordance with a mix of European standards. However, according to the British Towing Code the percentage (loaded caravan / kerbweight tow car) is 92%.
The towing performances of this Nissan with your Standaard Caravan are perfect (performance index = 109 km/h or 68 mph).
You may expect excellent performances from this outfit. On flat roads it's easy to come along, in which case top gear is applicable in most cases.
On motorway inclines you will be able not only to come along, but be the first at the top. On steep roads you have more than sufficient power to keep going. On hill starts there will be more than enough power to get going, provided the wheels have traction.

User ReviewsThe Nissan towing a Lunar Chateau 470 (1180) kg reviewed by Graham:
 = 68%
 = 109 km/u
 = 24%After towing with a petrol Honda v-tec, The Qashqai felt like it had about 300 BHP! This car is absoluety brilliant at towing, very stable and plenty of power from the 2.0 Dci.
The Nissan towing a Coachman Amara 380/2 (1205) kg reviewed by Tony Woodward:
= 66%
= 109 km/u
= 23%Having towed a Bailey Discovery with the Qashqai with excellent results I was wondering how it would perform with the heavier Amara on the hook. Again the performance is excellent, there is plenty of power for overtaking, the suspension was more than capable of dealing with the additional nosewight. What more can I say, an excellent towcar, I would recommend it to a friend
