00:00Hello and welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog on the topic of comparing the Nissan Qashqai to the Toyota Corolla Cross.
00:10Please note that our comparison is not a real direct comparison, but only a virtual comparison.
00:17The vehicles in the video are sample vehicles for visual simplification.
00:21According to users online, both compact SUVs are among the most popular models in their class, as they have a lot to offer in terms of equipment, performance and space.
00:35The Nissan Qashqai presents itself with a more aggressive, modern design, in which a striking front grille and sharply defined full LED headlights are in the foreground.
00:43Wide wheel arches and the decidedly compact rear with horizontal lights contribute to the sporty appearance.
00:52The dimensions are 4.4 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 1.6 meters high, while the wheelbase measures 2.7 meters by 2.7 meters.
01:03According to reviews online, those who prefer a slightly more dynamic look are often drawn to the Qashqai, as its lines convey a certain sportiness.
01:13The Toyota Corolla Cross, on the other hand, appears somewhat more sober, but for many users online it is very functional with a large hexagonal radiator grille and softer shapes on the headlights and side section.
01:26The overall calmer appearance is complemented at the rear by horizontal light clusters and a narrow spoiler.
01:31In terms of dimensions, the Corolla Cross slightly exceeds the Qashqai at 4.0 meters long, while it is practically on par with the Qashqai at 1.8 meters wide and 1.6 meters high.
01:46The wheelbase is slightly shorter at 2.6 meters.
01:51In the interior, both manufacturers rely on high-quality materials in the most visible areas, while more hard plastics are used in the lower area.
01:59Nevertheless, according to users online, both Nissan and Toyota convey a pleasant feeling of quality, which is not always a given in this class.
02:11The Qashqai comes with a digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a touchscreen up to 9 inches in size, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
02:20The trunk volume ranges from around 455 to almost 1,450 L, depending on the seating configuration, which, according to online reviews, offers sufficient space for families and trips.
02:34The Toyota Corolla Cross also scores points with modern technology.
02:39It uses a 12.3-inch, fully digital instrument cluster, while the infotainment system is slightly larger at 10.5 inches.
02:46The trunk volume ranges from 414 to around 1,340 L, which is slightly smaller, but can still be used effectively thanks to the practical design and the wide tailgate opening.
03:08The biggest difference between the two models is the range of engines, with Nissan offering a full hybrid e-power in addition to mild hybrid versions, while Toyota relies exclusively on full hybrids.
03:23Users online appreciate the Qashqai's ability to choose between the 1.3-liter mild hybrid engine in two power outputs of 140hp or 158hp and the e-power system with 190hp, depending on their personal preference.
03:40While the mild hybrid versions are sometimes offered with a 6-speed manual transmission and optional all-wheel drive in the 158hp version, the e-power system is always combined with front-wheel drive.
03:53In terms of fuel consumption, Nissan states an average of 6.3L per 100km in the WLTP cycle for the manual mild hybrid version, and the combined figure for the full hybrid with IO is 5.1L per 100km.
04:07The Toyota Corolla Cross, on the other hand, offers two engine versions, both of which are full hybrids.
04:15There is a choice of a 1.8-liter engine with 140hp and a 1.8-liter engine with 197hp.
04:22There are corresponding versions for users who value all-wheel drive.
04:27However, only in conjunction with the electronically controlled continuously variable automatic transmission.
04:32The fuel consumption for the 1.8-liter engine is around 4.9L per 100km, while the more powerful version with 197hp is around 5.1L per 100km.
04:47According to reports online, both models benefit from hybrid technology, especially in urban traffic, where they often achieve lower fuel consumption than when driving fast on the motorway at high speeds.
04:58In terms of price range, the Nissan Qashqai starts at around €34,000 in Germany for the 140hp Milt Hybrid with manual transmission in the Ascenta trim level.
05:11At the top end is the e-Power Tecna Plus version, which is priced at around €46,000.
05:16Even the entry-level version offers 17-inch lightweight alloy wheels, full LED lights, two-zone automatic climate control, as well as a reversing camera and parking sensor.
05:28The Toyota Corolla Cross starts at around €36,500 for the 140hp Comfort model, while the top model with 197hp, all-wheel drive and lounge equipment costs around €48,000.
05:41It comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, digital instruments, wireless smartphone charging and a smart digital key X-Works, which, according to users online, makes for a very modern experience.
05:54Both SUV models therefore represent attractive options in the segment and appeal to different preferences.
06:04Those looking for a sportier look, a versatile engine range and a bit more boot space might be drawn to the Qashqai.
06:10On the other hand, those who prefer a more subtle design, an established full hybrid and a bit more infotainment comfort might find the Corolla Cross to be the right companion.
06:24It is important to bear in mind that the driving experience, actual consumption and long-term reliability can vary depending on personal driving style and individual requirements.
06:33However, according to users online, both models can be driven quite economically, especially in the city and at moderate cruising speeds on the motorway.
06:45So, two sophisticated vehicles are facing off, combining a great deal of technology, comfort and everyday usability.
