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

Post by Arkiozzy »

Hello there
J12 2022 1.3 DIG Tekna owner from egypt

In case you were wondering
There are some differences between the specs for the Tekna trim sold here in egypt and the one found in the UK.

Moving on from 1.6 Astra J
And you can say every thing is much better except for the suspension.
Feels much stiffer than my old car.

How would you rate the suspension for the J12 in the UK?

Welcome to this forum.

I haven't looked at Egypt specifications but certainly there are differences between similarly named UK models and those in certain mainland Europe ones. Notably wheel size and foglights (which I see even the Visia gets as standard in Egypt!). https://en.nissan.com.eg/vehicles/new/q ... mpare.html shows all Qashqais in Egypt are autos.

What changes have you perceived?

Notably ProPilot is not available across all models, However most of the driving assists are fitted in the Tekna.
Like you mentioned, it is not offered in Manual transmission at all. most of cars in Egypt don't
Also, Although having the same 1.3L engine, It is tuned down to 147 instead of 158 losing the MHEV as well.

Thanks. I'd missed the ProPilot omission. ProPilot is only available in the UK on Tekna and Tekna+ auto models.

Egypt also has a choice of ELEVEN paint colours at no extra cost! You only pay extra for a different roof colour. But the light grey interior option is missing.

It's also a lot cheaper there (£20k - £24k) albeit I don't know how car prices compare between Egypt and the UK in terms of taxes etc.
