Nissan is among the leaders in crossover market, not only in US market, but in Europe also. Nissan has developed it’s cars into multifunctional vehicles with a mix of great performance and excellent fuel economy and would not be where it is now if it did not implement new technologies on new vehicles. Because of that the new 2018 Nissan Qashqai will be part of refreshment, update for the upcoming lineup. This is one of the favorite models among European buyers (Qashqai), while in North America it is sold as Nissan Rogue.
It appears that Nissan will drop the US Rogue in the future and switch over to the Nissan Qashqai. The Qashqai is a smaller crossover which was designed to meet the European Markets. The Qashqai Mk2 and also Rogue are to utilize the Renault-Nissan’s lift-up CMF platform and the difference being this particular Qashqai has smaller dimension compared to the Rogue.
CMF Platform : The car is built on the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s CMF (Common Module Family) architecture. The Alliance’s CMF system of modular vehicle architectures allows the company to build a wider range of vehicles from a smaller pool of parts, resulting in more savings and greater value for customers.

Characteristic lines are present on upcoming model, headlights and grille could get few cosmetic touches, but nothing radical, while the rear of the SUV will be the same as before. Interior features will be updated with some additions from higher trims, Infotainment system improved and a new navigation system. The most changes appear to be safety orientated, not only updates, but also the implementation of new systems, accessories and new Dashboard clusters are likely.
It will be interesting to see how true these facts are in the end.
