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

Post by oggie1947 »

I have the same worry. I am taking delivery of a new N Connect in a couple of weeks and as its a showroom model does not come with a spare wheel. it will have a puncture repair kit but i do like the assurance of a spare. When I mentioned it to the salesman he said a spare couldn't be obtained. surely there must be something out there I can purchase for peace of mind. I notice there is often older models on Ebay. are they all compatable or has the new J12 a specific wheel fitment. Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

I transferred over the spare wheel I bought for my first Qashqai J11 in 2014 to my current J12/Mark 3.

See this post for pictures of it in my new Qashqai: https://qashqaiforums.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 2&start=20

I had to improvise with the various tools/jack as the foam inserts no longer fit inside the wheel well. I was quoted a daft price for new Nissan inserts. :roll:

Many thanks Sandgrounder foryou response. I take it the stud alighnment is the same as the J11 and probably a silly question but as the car has 18 inch wheels does the space saver have to be the same or is a 16 inch acceptable. Thank you again .

I did check it was OK to use this spare wheel and the parts department and sales rep said it was fine - a standard fit. I needed to check that out as my previous 2 Qashqai’s had 18" wheels and this Tekna has 19" and the spare is 16" 🛞

I will look to changing the spare wheel in the near future as it’s approaching 8 years old but never been used.
