In the subcompact SUV market, traffic is starting to feel dense, and automakers are keen on pinpointing consumer needs. Among several models, the Nissan Qashqai stands out for many reasons. To better highlight its features, we’ll compare it to the Honda HR-V, which occasionally serves as a benchmark in the subcompact SUV category.
In-depth knowledge of the 2020 Nissan Qashqai
At Lac-Saint-Jean, Alma Nissan knows its 2020 Nissan Qashqai very well. Here, they reveal the winning formula of their SUV by comparing it with the 2020 Honda HR-V.
Firstly, the Nissan Qashqai outperforms the Honda HR-V. Equipped with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, the Qashqai develops 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque. Its rival does not achieve the same performance, as it only delivers 127 lb-ft of torque. In terms of style, the Nissan Qashqai sports a much more sporty and bold look thanks to 19-inch all-black alloys, smoked headlights and taillights, as well as a blackened front grille and glossy black mirror caps. It is already more attractive than its rival, which sports a more traditional look. Moreover, the Honda HR-V is not as exciting.
Inside, the 2020 Nissan Qashqai subcompact SUV offers high-end PVC/Alcantara seats, soft-touch materials, glossy black air vents, and a black roof in its premium version. The Japanese designers have aimed to add more quality to their SUV, which has been successful in Europe, as well as in Canada and Quebec.
Going even further, the 2020 Qashqai features a central display with the standard NissanConnect infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto integration, USB ports, and built-in Wi-Fi. The Honda HR-V also offers these kinds of features, and its cabin remains user-friendly.
In addition to being more dynamic, the Qashqai SUV is also smarter than its rival, as it benefits from numerous advanced technologies included as standard, like the ProPILOT Assist driving aid system that supervises highway driving, helps keep the vehicle in its lane, regulates its speed, and manages traffic jams. Furthermore, there’s the Intelligent Parking Assist feature, meaning the system uses advanced sensors to identify a suitable parking spot and then performs the maneuver autonomously. The 2020 Honda HR-V does not offer as many features as the 2020 Qashqai, sticking to the standard.
But what further distinguishes the Qashqai from the HR-V is its price. Among all comparisons, the Nissan SUV is the most economical to buy or lease. Nearly $3,000 separates it from the HR-V in the entry-level version. It is also more fuel-efficient (8.4 L/100 km versus 8.5 L/100 km) and has a larger trunk volume (1,730 liters versus 1,583 for the HR-V).
Overall, at the finish line, the Nissan Qashqai is significantly more attractive than its rival, the Honda HR-V. It will offer you more for your money, you will have better trunk space, and it is significantly more user-friendly and high-performing than the 2020 Honda HR-V.
