Qashqai Model: Mk.3 Qashqai - J12 (2021+) New Model

Post by mjogreen »

Hi All

Just picked up a J12 Acenta Premium and I seem to remember from the test drive or maybe online reviews about there being two levels to the centre arm rest cubby, like an upper tray and then the deeper bin.

Mine just has the big bin. Is it missing an upper level or is that a figment of my imagination / on higher spec?

Thanks

Hello @mjogreen, welcome to the forum.

I have the two levels in the centre arm rest cubby in my Tekna. Also had it in my previous two Qashqai’s, lower-spec models (N-Tec and N-Connecta).

Does it look like there might be a separate tray when you lift the arm rest up and it hasn’t released? This happens to me sometimes. 🤔

Not seen mention that there would be a model discrepancy in spec for the centre arm rest? :?

J11b has a split clip, pull one side for the big cubby and the other side for the small tray.

Maybe some J12 owners can demonstrate with pictures providing the same system is in place.

Thanks for the warm welcome! It looks it could have something there but it's missing. I've attached some photos of mine, what do you think?

Here’s a picture of mine, showing the two separate tray levers/pull clips:

Wow...Nissan really are tight fisted, can't quite believe that they would have different armrest cubbies for different specs.

Yep! Well I wonder whether that is the case or if there's there's issue with mine. Though I imagine they are just tight fisted, can't see that getting missed on the build!

I did notice, when looking at the updated specs, that models without the panoramic glass roof now feature a sunglass holder near the rear-view mirror:

Lots of different tweaks by the looks of it! 😐

I wonder how long it will take before they will somehow also downgrade the Tekna and Tekna plus trims, even those already ordered !??? :?

For those still waiting for delivery, is there a cut off point for when you can cancel your order, especially if your ordered spec has been drastically changed?
