VW MQB RH850 Read IMMO Data and Add Key: Autel or Launch?

Question:

I need a tool to read IMMO data and add key to my VW MQB RH850 cluster, does Autel and Launch support? Which tool is recommended?

Here is the suggestion of EOBDTOOL.co.uk engineer:

Autel IM608 Pro/ IM608 PRO II (IM608 II) and IM508/ IM508S with Autel XP400 PRO and Launch X431 tablet with X-Prog3 support RH850. But Launch tool only can read and write Renesas encrypted RH850 MCUs for Renault, Ford, Nissan, etc, MQB RH850 is not supported currently.

Autel APB131 Adapter is required for Autel MaxiIM key programmer.

Launch RH850 Adapter is required for X431 X-Prog3 key programmer.

Feature:

Both don’t need to cut wire or lift pin.

But Autel needs soldering. Some clusters need to remove resistors.

Nissan Ignites Electric Vehicle Revolution in £2 Billion UK Boost

  Electric Dreams Come True

Nissan is set to inject up to £2 billion into the production of two all-electric models, doubling down on their commitment to a green future. This includes replacements for popular models like the Juke and Qashqai, alongside the Leaf replacement announced in 2021. The move supports the skilled workforce of 7,000 at the Sunderland plant and an additional 30,000 employed in the supply chain.   A Milestone Investment This investment is part of Nissan's broader commitment, bringing total investments since 2021 to an impressive £3 billion. The move ensures the future of the largest car factory in Britain, safeguarding over 37 years of automotive history at the Sunderland plant. As the automotive industry transitions away from traditional petrol and diesel cars, Nissan's direct investment of up to £1.12 billion to produce the two models will enable wider investment in infrastructure projects and the supply chain, including a new Giga factory, bringing a total new investment today of up to £2 billion.  

UK's Electric Drive

With all-new Nissan cars in Europe set to be fully electric, the UK's position as a global electric vehicle hub is solidified. The investment reinforces the government's goal of achieving net zero, with passenger cars expected to be 100% electric by 2030. Today's announcement marks a significant step, with all-electric replacements for the Nissan Juke and Qashqai models, in addition to the all-electric Leaf replacement announced in 2021. This move supports the future of Nissan's highly skilled 7,000-strong UK workforce, as well as the 30,000 staff employed in the wider supply chain.   Driving Innovation in Vehicle Replacements The announcement not only solidifies the commitment to electric vehicles but also signifies a leap forward with all-electric replacements for popular models, contributing to a sustainable future and a robust supply chain.  

Sunderland: The Silicon Valley of Electric Innovation

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Nissan’s investment is a massive vote of confidence in the UK’s automotive industry." The move is set to position Sunderland as the UK's Silicon Valley for electric vehicle innovation and manufacturing. The Nissan Sunderland plant, a longstanding UK success story, opened in 1986 and has grown into one of Europe’s largest car plants with world-leading productivity. Earlier this year, Nissan celebrated a milestone, producing their 11 millionth vehicle at the Sunderland Plant since inception—an average of a new car every two minutes, 24/7, for 37 years.   A Legacy of Innovation Sunderland's success story in automotive manufacturing is further enhanced with this investment, solidifying its place as a hub for innovation and productivity in the electric vehicle sector.  

Nissan's CEO on the Future

Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida highlighted the company's commitment to an all-electric future, saying, "Exciting, electric vehicles are at the heart of our plans to achieve carbon neutrality." With electric versions of core European models on the way, the UK team will be designing, engineering, and manufacturing the vehicles of the future, driving Nissan towards an all-electric future in Europe. Uchida's statement underscores Nissan's determination to achieve carbon neutrality, emphasizing the pivotal role of exciting and innovative electric vehicles in this journey.  

Powering the North East

The announcement comes with the confirmation of a new Investment Zone for North East England. Expected to create over 4,000 jobs in the first five years, this zone aligns with the region's focus on Advanced Manufacturing and Green Industries. This new investment is a key anchor for the Investment Zone, which will provide £160 million of support, including tax incentives, skills development, infrastructure, and innovation funding over the next ten years – addressing barriers to growth and ensuring the UK continues to win investment in the face of global competition.   A Green Economic Corridor The Investment Zone promises to not only create jobs but also establish a green economic corridor, fostering innovation, and supporting sustainable growth in the North East.  

Government's Commitment to Growth

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt emphasized the significance of Nissan's investment, calling it "an enormous vote of confidence in the British economy." The UK government continues to back businesses, with the recent Autumn Statement introducing measures to remove barriers to investment. The Chancellor announced further measures, making the Full Expensing scheme permanent, providing an effective permanent tax cut of £11 billion a year for businesses investing in IT equipment, plant, and machinery. This move is set to boost business investment by £14 billion, helping grow the economy. Chancellor Hunt aims to foster a conducive business environment and boost investment with measures like permanent tax cuts and incentives.  

Boosting Manufacturing Across the UK

The announcement follows a series of successful investments in the automotive sector, including Tata's Giga factory, BMW's investment in MINI EVs, Ford's Electric Drive Units, and Stellantis' investment in EV van production. The UK has already overtaken France to become the eighth-biggest manufacturing nation globally, contributing £205 billion to the economy and boosting employment in every region of the country, including over 300,000 jobs both in the North West and Yorkshire and The Humber. The automotive sector's recent investments contribute to a resurgent UK manufacturing landscape, positioning the country as a global manufacturing powerhouse.  

Looking Ahead

The Business and Trade Secretary plans to announce the government’s Advanced Manufacturing Plan, providing comprehensive support for the UK’s manufacturing sector to enhance long-term sustainability and prosperity. The Department for Business and Trade will also shortly publish the UK’s first Battery Strategy, outlining the government’s activity to achieve a globally competitive battery supply chain in the UK by 2030 that supports economic prosperity and the Net Zero transition. The forthcoming Advanced Manufacturing Plan and Battery Strategy are pivotal in charting the course for sustainable and prosperous manufacturing in the UK.   Sources: THX News, Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street, HM Treasury, Department for Business and Trade, The Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP, The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, & The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP.

Expert Feedback On The New Nissan X-Trail

The new Nissan X-Trail for sale in the UK is a large SUV available in five-seat and seven-seat configurations. This is the latest fourth-generation model, which went on sale in the final months of 2022.

Both front-wheel and all-wheel drive models are available, and customers can opt for either a petrol mild hybrid engine or one of Nissan’s ‘e-Power’ petrol-electric hybrid powertrains.

The X-Trail is more spacious than the smaller best-selling Nissan Qashqai and is also a capable off-roader, but several reviewers comment that the SUV is not as economical as they were expecting – particularly the more expensive ‘e-Power’ option.

Like the Qashqai, the latest X-Trail was developed in Cranfield in the UK and about half of the European sales are to UK customers. However, unlike the Qashqai, the X-Trail is built in Japan rather than in Sunderland.

“While efficiency isn’t bad on paper”, Parker‘s Alan Taylor-Jones explains, “there are lower CO2 emitting options such as the plug-in hybrid Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe that can also run on electric power for much longer distances.

What Car? concludes that, while the X-Trail is a decent family car choice, there are plenty of rivals that are more comfortable, more fun to drive and that offer even more space for a similar price. While the car is roomy when specced as a five-seater, media outlets generally agree that the third row of seating in seven-seat versions is quite cramped.

As of March 2023, the fourth-generation Nissan X-Trail holds an Expert Rating of 59%, based on 14 reviews published by UK media sources. This is still a new model, however, so the rating could move up or down by a few points as more local reviews are published.

Safety rating

Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP

Overall score: 5 stars

Date tested: November 2022

Read the full Euro NCAP review

Adult protection: 91%

Child protection: 90%

Vulnerable road users: 70%

Safety assist: 95%

Structurally, the Nissan X-Trail is based on the smaller Qashqai SUV, so its Euro NCAP safety rating is based on the Qashqai’s testing in 2021. However, additional tests and analyses were undertaken where there were specific differences between the two models.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor: Possibly the best car for Canadian winters

Words and Photos By Michael Hozjan

With the first significant snow fall well under way I decided to blow the wet snow before it got too deep and heavy for my old Massey-Ferguson. Well about a quarter of the way down my driveway I looked up to see a trail of something brown oozing onto the white stuff. Scurrying back up the hill I shut the engine off to discover that thankfully it wasn’t oil but some rusted antifreeze spewing out of the radiator cap. Jumping into Subaru’s latest addition of their best selling SUV, the Crosstrek Outdoor, I recalled a television commercial from my youth. The black and white low lit night scene started with the commentator saying “What does the snow plow driver drive to work?” The camera pulls out as the driver gets to the yard and starts up the plow, when we see a Volkswagen Beetle.

Why did I remember that commercial? Probably because I had about half a foot of wet packed snow to contend with in my driveway, not even thinking about how deep the snow was at the entrance where the plow usually pushes up as much snow as possible to ruin everyone’s day. Now back in the sixties we negotiated the roads in our rear wheel drive sedans, but we’ve turned into wimps. When front wheel drive cars came out, we were able to apply power to the steered wheels and pull ourselves out of the city plow’s wrath a lot easier. These days it seems like we can’t survive sans all-wheel-drive. You’ll notice I said we because like most people, as cars have changed, my lack of time behind the wheel of a rear wheel driver has been drastically cut and my proficiency has dropped as well. Yes, like most people I welcome all-wheel-drivers and I especially welcomed the Crosstrek to get me through today.

And I recall a time even when we were still driving rear wheel drive cars back in the ‘70s, a Japanese 4x4 caught my eye – the Subaru B.R.A.T.  A small pickup with rear-facing buckets in the bed, clearly something that would drive today’s legislators insane. The writing was on the wall, the B.R.A.T (for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter – talk about a mouthful) was an alternative to the big heavy 4x4s of the day and gave Subaru a foothold in the lucrative North American four-wheel-drive market. Of course a lot has changed in the five decades since, except that Subaru continues to lead the affordable SUV/crossover market, and its top seller is the compact Crosstrek.

What’s New

Well Subaru has just upped the anti in the crowded, hotly contested segment by adding a second, more powerful engine to the Crosstrek line up. Pulled form the company’s Outback and Legacy parts bin, the 2.5L boxer four cylinder now finds a home in two of the Crosstrek’s trim lines. There’s a 30 horse and 31 lb-ft premium over the base 2.0L boxer mill, that’s 182 horses and 176 lb-ft of torque going to the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Surprisingly the 2.5 liter also is remarkably fuel efficient.

Above: The 2.5 litre boxer four is new to the Crosstrek 

To date the 2.5L is available only in the Outdoor and Limited trims, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the option makes its way into the other trims. Sadly, the larger engine is not available with the 6-speed manual transmission, but the CVT with paddle shifters, too bad as it would be a really nice combo. Yes the AWD system that comes with the CVT is far more electronically advanced and capable of going into further and deeper in the rough than the one that comes with the manual, still, it would just be nice to have a third pedal with the larger engine.  

Best of all, unlike some manufacturers, who reserve larger displacement engines exclusively to the top tier trim levels, the Outdoor is in the middle of the Crosstrek trim level.

The Outdoor goodie bag doesn’t end there. You also get the new Dual-function X-Mode. X-Mode better manages throttle response to avoid wheel spin and controls power output to the center differential and individual wheels as well as being able to have you descend slippery slopes with its hill decent control. But let’s face it, we’re not in a perfect world and there are times the white stuff is just too deep and you just need to gun it to get out. Enter Dual-function X-Mode, which allows you to do just that - think of it as shutting off the traction control.

There’s even more, you get a wide-angle front view camera (unique to the Outdoor), just the ticket when you’re avoiding stumps and boulders on the new path up to the lake, side/rear vehicle detection system (SRVD), an 8-inch infotainment screen, and Subaru’s driver assist technology - Eye-Sight with its new lane centering assist. All for only $29,995 Considering the bare, entry level, Convenience with the smaller mill will run you $23,795 and the only other trim where you can get the 2.5L is the Limited at $34,495, the Outdoor is a no brainer.

While all 2021 models get a redesigned grille and new wheel options, the Outdoor can easily be distinguished from the rest of the Crosstrek line by its rather overly large, garish black cladding on the wheel wells. Sorry Subaru. I know it’s an attempt at making it look tougher, but…

The Greenhouse

The interior combines functionality with taste. The buckets are comfortable wrapped in easy to clean soft-touch all-weather material with the Crosstrek name embroidered in gold on the seatbacks and gold stitching on the seams. Gold stitching continues throughout the interior highlighted by a gold colored steering wheel spoke. The Outdoor has almost all the requirements I noted a few weeks back as the ideal Canadian (winter) car, namely heated front seats, heated steering wheel and floor mounted heater ducts to keep rear seat passengers’ footsies warm.  

Above: all controls and buttons are clearly marked, and easy to reach.

There’s ample head, leg, and shoulder room for four adults with two USB ports in the instrument panel and another two in the armrest console. Despite being on the smaller scale of its competitors, there’s more cargo room than most including Chevy’s Trailblazer. 

Above: Cargo capacity is  20.8 cu.ft. and 55.3 cu.ft. with the rear bench folded flat.  

Above: Small spare but a full array of tools including the tow rings, a $100 option on the Cherokee 

The verdict

The Crosstrek’s competitors include the Chevy Trailblazer, Nissan Qashqai and Mazda CX-30 to mention a few. Yet the Subie stands out with its low center of gravity despite having a good amount of ground clearance, which clearly makes it adept at handling light off-roading a swell as highway travel. In its eight year history the Crosstrek has always been a strong competent contender and one of the more affordable all-wheel-drive vehicles, add in the latest features, combined with its sporty agility, and the Crosstrek has left the competition choking in its dust.

Best of all the 2.5 liter is surprisingly fuel efficient, despite trudging through some heavy snow near the end of my week long time with the Outdoor I averaged a respectable 8.0L/100km.

Epilogue

Not too long after I dropped off the Crosstrek I found myself behind the wheel of the Nissan Rogue. Well, let me tell you it didn’t take long to realize that the Subie is significantly quieter in drowning out road noise.

Price as tested: $29,995

Sales in Japan of Nissan e-POWER electrified vehicles surpasses 500,000-unit cumulative milestone

Nissan announced today that the cumulative sales of vehicles with Nissan’s e-POWER electrified powertrain surpassed 500,000 units at the end of March. The Nissan e-POWER system uses a highly efficient gasoline engine to generate electricity for the electric motor that propels the vehicle. For customers, this delivers EV-like excitement, quietness and smooth acceleration, but with the confidence and convenience that comes with a fuel tank.

In addition to powerful and responsive acceleration, e-POWER models have been rated highly for driving performance and for features such as the ability to accelerate and decelerate just by using the accelerator pedal. e- POWER first debuted in Japan on the Note compact car in November 2016. Since then, the Note e-POWER model has been very well received by customers. The Note claimed the best-selling car in Japan title in 2018.

In March 2018 an e-POWER version of Nissan’s popular Serena minivan was launched, which was followed by the all-new Kicks SUV e-POWER in June 2020. The Kicks e-POWER also launched in some Asian markets, expanding the availability of e-POWER technology. In December of the same year the all-new Note was launched exclusively with the evolved, second-generation e-POWER system.

In February 2021, the all-new Nissan Qashqai recently debuted in the European market with an e-POWER model announced following the mild-hybrid model, marking the first offering of e-POWER in the continent. The 2021 Auto Shanghai motorshow is set to introduce e-POWER technology in the China market.

Nissan has set the goal to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050. As part of this effort, by the early 2030s every all-new Nissan vehicle offering in key markets will be electrified.

All About The Nissan Micra

The current 2021 Nissan Micra is perfect if you’re looking for an injection of excitement in your life.

The fifth generation of Nissan’s iconic Micra represents a significant progression in design and will revitalise the small car segment in South Africa.

Nissan put customers at the heart of the development of the Nissan Micra with extensive focus groups and clinics to create a no-compromise package that answers the needs of small car buyers.

With a bold exterior design and an interior that is both contemporary and premium, the current Micra is perfect if you’re looking for an injection of excitement in your life.

Nissan’s contender in the Lower B hatchback segment, the Micra Active, will continue to be sold alongside the 2021 Micra, which will make its mark in the Upper B hatchback segment.

In South Africa, the Upper B hatchback segment represents approximately 15% of the passenger vehicle market, making it one of the most popular segments in the country.

The new Nissan Micra has dynamic hatchback proportions, and with an overall length of 3,999 mm, it’s placed right at the core of the B-hatchback segment.

Featuring a sculpted body with strong and sharp character lines visible from every angle, the car delivers an athletic feeling that’s hard to ignore.

From the front, the shortened bonnet design and reduced A-pillar angle create a poised silhouette.

The narrow headlamps stretch through the front wings and include signature LED daytime running lights on every trim level.

Halogen headlamps are standard on all grades. The lights frame Nissan’s familiar “V-motion” grille, reinterpreted to complete the new Micra’s bold front-end design.

Below the car’s sloping roofline is the expressive character which runs the entire length of the new Micra’s body, dipping dramatically as it passes over the front door and sweeping upwards towards the rear.

The black B and C-pillars create a floating roof effect, while the C-pillar is home to the discrete door handles which provide access for rear passengers.

At the rear are the striking new boomerang-shaped light clusters.

Below them is the sculpted bumper which features a carbon-look finish as standard and hides the car’s exhaust pipe.

Above is the sports-style rear roof spoiler, also standard to enhance aerodynamic performance. Together, these features create a recognisable motif for the back of the car.

The expressive exterior design moves the Micra in a daring new direction with a high-quality cabin that boasts two-tone soft-touch materials as standard across the range.

Thanks to outstanding packaging, the five-door-only body shell boasts best-in-class ergonomics for front-seat occupants, with no compromise to rear passenger space.

The cabin is based around a T-shaped “gliding wing” dashboard, with simple structures that create excellent space for the driver and front passenger. The instruments and controls have been grouped together for comfort, convenience and safety.

Outstanding ergonomics was another development target on the new Micra – a target that was achieved. The car sets new standards in the B-hatchback segment thanks to its smart packaging.

A rake/reach-adjustable steering wheel is standard, while the lowered seating position for driver and front passenger means there’s exceptional headroom for taller occupants.

Coupled with fore/aft driver’s seat adjustment, it means a driver who is 2.03 metres tall can fit comfortably behind the steering wheel.

Special attention was given to the design of the front seats in order to provide continuous back support, helping to decrease driver fatigue on long journeys. The car’s width means enhanced elbow space for rear passengers, who also benefit from excellent shoulder and knee room.

Boot capacity is a very competitive 300 litres and delivered without compromising on rear passenger knee room. That figure expands to 1,004 litres when the 60:40 split rear seats are folded down.

Smart storage options are everywhere in the new Micra’s cabin, with location, capacity and design all optimised to ensure maximum convenience for occupants. Larger items can be placed in the centre console ahead of the gear selector. It offers flat storage for a phone, and includes ambient lighting plus USB and 12v sockets.

Customers’ desires to express their own personalities and design tastes through the new Micra will be another part of its appeal. The car will be available with a wide range of personalisation options, modifying the exterior and interior with premium components in a variety of stylish and contemporary colours.

The new Nissan Micra is equipped with a wide range of technologies designed to enhance the car’s comfort, convenience and safety performance. Many of them are standard across the range, while others are available from specific grades.

There are three specification levels available – the Visia, the Acenta and the Acenta Plus. The Visia comes standard with 15-inch steel wheels, daytime running lights, front power windows, a manual aircon, a Bluetooth and MP3 compatible audio system, cruise control, automatic headlights, six airbags and much more.

The Acenta adds 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights among other features while the Acenta Plus has 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel and an Energy Orange interior.

The 7-inch touch-screen colour display on the Acenta and Acenta Plus allows the driver to access features such as music, messages and maps through Apple CarPlay in addition to the MP3, USB and Bluetooth in the Visia model.

When an iPhone is connected via an Apple lightning cable, it offers users Siri voice control, Apple maps with turn-by-turn navigation, access to music, telephone services and other apps such as Audiobooks and Spotify.

Complementing the audio unit is the advanced driver-assist display, located in the speedometer display. Positioned to minimise “eyes off the road” time, it uses a high-definition 5-inch Thin Film Transistor colour display to provide the driver with key information about the car and journey. It’s based on technology that Nissan developed for the Qashqai and X-Trail crossovers and is controlled using dedicated steering wheel buttons.

Every new Micra comes with six airbags as standard, plus seat belt warnings and seat belt height adjustment for the front and rear. Isofix child seats are standard in the new Micra, including in the front passenger seat. Electronic safety systems include Vehicle Dynamic Control, Anti-locking Braking System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Hill Start Assist.

The new Nissan Micra is a fantastic car to drive, with a dynamic performance that strikes the perfect balance between agility, excitement and the secure feeling that comes with confident and predictable handling.

There is one engine available at launch– the 66kW, 140Nm Turbo-charged petrol engine which delivers both driving pleasure and outstanding practicality.

Whether it’s darting through traffic in the city or out on the open road, the new Nissan Micra is an exceptional car to drive. It’s the perfect blend for today’s Upper B-hatchback customer. But it’s not just great to look at and drive; the new Micra has a best-in-class drag coefficient of just 0.3cd, to maximise fuel efficiency.

The new Micra has been built on Nissan’s existing V-platform and has been significantly enhanced to deliver new levels of performance.

The new Micra provides exceptional stability and reduced body roll through corners thanks to its high body stiffness and advanced suspension.

In addition, the low driving position promoted by the excellent ergonomics of the interior reduces the centre of gravity, further enhancing the secure driving feel.

Responsive and accurate steering comes from a new brushless electric power unit and provides a high degree of manoeuvrability.

The Micra also benefits from a remarkably quiet cabin, promoting a comfortable and more relaxing experience for the driver.

It’s due to the enhanced noise isolation technology engineered into the car and is particularly noticeable during high-speed driving.

It’s designed to allow the driver to hear the engine response, but stay isolated from other noises, such as those generated by the tyres on the road.

Nissan has an extensive accessory personalisation offering for the new Micra, with features and colours designed to enhance the car’s already expressive exterior and uplifting interior.

In 2019, the range will be expanded with the inclusion of additional derivatives starting with the 1.0 Spec and prices will be confirmed next year.

If you’re a confident, independent thinker with a sophisticated sense of style, the all-new Micra is made for you. If you’re eager to achieve more in life, you know how to multi-task, and you have a busy social and professional life, you need a car that measures up to you and the Micra is that car.

And, of course, the Micra provides peace of mind motoring and comes with a comprehensive aftersales offering together with hassle-free motoring.

As with all other Nissan vehicles, the Nissan Micra is covered by Nissan Assured and comes with a 6-year/150,000km warranty; a 3-year/90,000km service plan; and 24/7 roadside assistance.

Does the 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport Interior Live Up to Its Bad Boy Name?

Rogue Sport: the very name suggests an impishness layered on top of a bad boy persona. Nissan introduced the Rogue Sport to the U.S. for the 2017 model year. It is sandwiched between the larger Nissan Rogue and the entry-level Nissan Kicks. The spunky Kicks has only been available in North America since 2018, and the much-improved third-generation 2021 Rogue is coming this fall.

That makes the Rogue Sport, available in the U.S. since the 2017 model year, the oldest of the trio and a bit of a wallflower by comparison. We spent some time in a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport SL AWD to see if sitting behind the wheel gives us the kind of vibe that the impish bad boy name implies.

Top Trim and Extra Options

Our loaner had a base price of $30,895 and was optioned up to $33,860 with the addition of premium paint—in this case Scarlet Ember Tint. That included for floor mats with cargo area protector and first aid kit ($290) and the Premium Package ($2,280) that adds the small power sliding moonroof, LED headlights, fog lamps, power front passenger seat, memory driver seat and mirrors, and Bose audio system.

The Rogue Sport—or Qashqai as it is called in Europe and Canada—is not a powerful beast. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque, and power is distributed to the front wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission. It’s perfect for nervous parents selecting a new car for a first-time buyer.

The Rogue Sport has the hallmarks of a small crossover. It has black plastic on the dash, but at least it is textured, and the expanse is broken up with trim designed to look like carbon fiber and give it a bit of an industrial look.

It’s All About Connectivity

The younger demographic that buys a subcompact crossover will immediately check out the infotainment system. The 7-inch touchscreen is smallish by today’s standards, but it is fully integrated into the dash for a clean look, as opposed to the ones stuck in place that look like an afterthought. Buyers of all ages will appreciate hard knobs for volume and tuning.

The Rogue Sport is equipped with NissanConnect (Nissan’s infotainment and smartphone integration system) with navigation, HD radio, and it is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible. USB and auxiliary port—as well as a power outlet—are nicely placed up front and easy to access. Another USB outlet is in the leather-covered center armrest. All are surrounded by a glossy black trim that also encircles the side-by-side cupholders; the layout that avoids confusion as to whose beverage is whose.

In front of the driver is a conventional display with two large instrument clusters flanking a small information screen. It is all very familiar. It has a traditional gearshift knob wrapped in leather.

The steering wheel is from the Nissan parts bin, with the usual plethora of buttons to command functions from infotainment to engaging ProPilot Assist, Nissan’s partially automated cruise control. Buyers in colder climates will appreciate that the leather-wrapped steering wheel is heated. It also tilts and is telescoping, features not always available in mainstream subcompacts.

Sensible Cabin Layout

The layout of the cabin makes it easy to navigate the controls used the most. The button for the heated steering wheel is on the dash to the left of the steering wheel—easy to find and use. It is in a bank of controls that includes the button to turn on steering assist, engage sport drive mode, and the AWD lock.

The camera provides a view of the area in front of the car for inching into a garage and a birds-eye view to gauge how well you have parked within the lines. Unfortunately, the image is not as crisp as the competition—or even newer Nissans.

Seats can make or break a long drive. The Rogue Sport has black leather-appointed seats with contrast stitching. The driver has an eight-way power seat with lumbar support, and the front seats are heated. There is hard black plastic on top of the door, but it morphs into softer leather on the armrest. To brighten the look, there is more of the carbon-fiber-inspired trim, and some polished metal bits to break up the black expanse.

Tight Second Row but Seats Fold Flat

Technically, it is a five-passenger vehicle but the middle seat in the second row is best used as the fold-down armrest and cupholder. And legroom is tight in the second row if tall adults are involved. Nissan could have left the seatbacks as hard plastic, but instead they are done in leather-ish materials and sport a storage pouch.

The 60-40 split second-row seats fold flat, which is more than some of its competitors can say, and it improves the available space in back. Folding down the seats is a manual operation, conducted from the second row; there are no buttons or latches to do so from the cargo area. There are air vents for second-row passengers to direct the air flow in a vehicle with dual-zone automatic temperature controls up front. There are no USB outlets for the rear passengers.

The doors do have a solid sound and feel when they are opened and closed—no disconcerting tinny sounds.

Clever Cargo Panels

Open the manual liftgate to admire the ample cargo room. Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide cargo system and cover is a clever use of two main pieces that can serve as a flat cargo floor or shelves of differing heights. You can also use one to create a divider and the other as a cover to block any view of the contents inside. There are small plastic storage wells on each side, and the carpeted cargo floor has some textured slats that are for appearance, not traction.

Conclusion

The Rogue Sport does not feel cheap or chintzy, but it also does not offer much that stands out as overly impressive or distinctive. In a segment that is stretching its legs design-wise, the Rogue Sport is neither cute nor brute, quirky nor elegant. It is familiar, what you would expect from a small crossover, like a pair of worn slippers. Not as sexy as stilettos, or practical as Wellies, but slipping into them feels comfortable and familiar.

2021 Nissan Qashqai Midnight Edition

Box-office popularity and critical acclaim don’t always align. Sometimes the biggest cinematic hits fall foul of the critics, leaving hearts of the masses and bums on seats to outweigh the minds of a learned few. Ticket sales reign supreme and it’s deemed a success.

The Nissan Qashqai has, for the most part, lived up to this scenario since its inception (previously branded Dualis Down Under). While it doesn’t top the VFACTS sales charts and it’s unlikely to win a group comparison test, the Qashqai is a consistent seller. Tied to a strong brand, the Qashqai offers families big value from their small SUV.

However, it’s been around a while – since 2014, in fact. So, to keep interest high and customers walking back into post-Covid showrooms, Nissan has delved into the gloss-black-paint reserves to create the Midnight Edition.

  What does it cost to own?

The Qashqai is covered by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, which is pretty standard within the industry these days. Servicing is every 12 months or 10,000km (whichever comes first), but you can also opt for a capped-price servicing plan that runs for 12 years/120,000km. Five years of roadside assistance is available.

What’s the exterior like?

In PR-speak, “Nissan invites you to own the night”… what that translates to is a heap of black accents being added to the known styling. And to be fair, it does the trick, with the Midnight Edition offering meaningful flair to keep the Qashqai ageing gracefully. For a known design, the special edition adds an on-road presence.

This is created via a Gloss Black V-motion grille, while the front and rear bumper blades and roof rails gain the same treatment. Darkened LED head (adaptive) and taillights feature, too, as well as body-coloured mouldings. The auto-folding wing mirrors gain gloss black, as do the 19-inch alloy wheels.

There are five exterior colours to choose from and include Vivid Blue, Ivory Pearl, Gun Metallic, Magnetic Red and Pearl Black.

What’s the interior like?

Yes, you guessed it, the black theme continues inside, too. And in a mind-bending juxtaposition, brightens up the tried and tested Qashqai design in line with the exterior. Both gloss and brushed black accents abound, including a black roof headliner, as well as part leather/Alcantara seats and illuminated kick plates.

The benefit of the larger dimensions against the class norm (the Qashqai is 4394mm long, 1086mm wide, 1595mm tall and with a 2646mm wheelbase) is a spacious cabin. All five occupants enjoy generous head, leg and toe room front to back, with the back pews gaining a central armrest with cup holders when four-up.

Despite its almost range-topping status, the Midnight Edition misses out on heated front seats and power adjustment (even for the driver), as well as digital dual-zone climate control. Yet, overall, the styling tweaks give the ergonomically sound cabin a bit of a second wind. The new steering wheel is also a highlight, feeling nice in hand.

What’s the infotainment like?

Updated for the current-gen model, the Qashqai gains a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen to handle the infotainment. It’s on the small side, meaning you have to be precise with your inputs and the graphics are dated. Still, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is DAB+ digital radio, which plays through a six-speaker audio system. The instrument cluster gains a 4.2-inch screen for features like the digital speedo.

Something left wanting, and a sign of the Qashqai’s 2014 ilk, is a lack of USB and USB-C ports. There are none in the back, and just a single port is hidden in the centre storage bin. And there’s no wireless charging, either. The upcoming third generation can’t arrive soon enough.

What is the storage like?

Given its ‘small’ SUV category designation, the Qashqai offers space some of the competition can’t match. The boot is 430 litres, extending to 1598 litres with the 60/40-split rear seats folded. There is a bit of a step up from the boot floor when the rear seats are stowed, however, the load bay is flat and the lip isn’t too intrusive when heaving in weighty/bulky items.

The centre console is endowed with a cavernous storage compartment and further bolstered by numerous provisions for cups, bottles, keys, wallets and sunglasses. Basically, there are a plethora of places to put a family’s worth of items.

What engines are available?

You can have any engine you want, as long as it’s a naturally aspirated four-cylinder. Its relatively large capacity does its best to mask a lack of torque compared to smaller, turbocharged units, with the 2.0-litre unit producing 200Nm. Combined with 106kW of power, the Midnight Edition offers ‘enough’ grunt to cope with the 1392kg kerb weight and fulfil its intended use… just.

Within city limits, the Qashqai operates amicably and the CVT is one of the better units on the market. Where it becomes strained is open-road overtaking, especially given power and torque are developed high in the rev range (6000 and 4400rpm respectively). The 2.0-litre four-pot sounds strained, too, as the CVT perches the tacho needle high in the rev range.

What about the fuel economy?

Officially the Qashqai Midnight Edition is rated at 6.9L/100km on a combined cycle. However, throughout testing the trip computer returned eights, even when pushing the oddly placed Eco mode button for frugal driving. It’s a shame some of the Nissan/Renault alliance turbo petrol and diesel engines offered in other markets aren’t available here.

What’s it like to drive? 

All the controls are light, progressive and easy to use for the daily grind and family hauling. Driven within these parameters the Midnight Edition ticks boxes by being easy to live with. The brakes are strong and progressive, the steering is light for city car parks and the stepped-ratio CVT mimics a conventional torque-converter automatic with six ratios for a ‘manual mode’. The suspension tune leans towards the stiff side. However, the dampers offer enough control on the rebound to prevent pogoing. Still, overall, it’s a bit too firm to be branded cosseting.

A somewhat interesting move is the fitment of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres (225/45 front to rear) to the test car. It’s a lot of rubber for a humble SUV, especially given its usual performance-based applications. And while the sticky hoops offer the safety of heightened grip levels, it’s almost too much as the body struggles to match their competence, exacerbating the Qashqai’s roll. There’s also noticeable kickback and rack rattle through the steering wheel on poor surfaces.

How safe is the Qashqai?

The Qashqai range receives a five-star ANCAP safety rating, but it’s worth keeping in mind the score is carried over from the 2017 model year. Nissan Intelligent mobility active-safety includes blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, emergency braking (AEB), rear cross-traffic alert 360-degree surround-view camera with parking sensors and intelligent driver alert. ISOFIX is fitted to the two outboard rear seats.

Sadly, given the price point, active cruise control, pedestrian/cyclist detection and lane-keeping with steering intervention aren’t standard, you have to step up to the Ti for that.

What are the alternatives?

Many. So many, in fact, it’s hard to list them all, so here are some of the key combatants. The never-say-die Mitsubishi ASX which, despite its age, keeps brewing a sales storm. In terms of racking up sales accolades, it’s the Lewis Hamilton of the small SUV segment. Like the Qashqai, it offers a lot of physical car for the monetary outlay.

Others to consider are the not-so-small Kia Seltos, dynamically talented Toyota C-HR, pragmatic Honda HR-V and the ‘funky’ Hyundai Kona. The Skoda Kamiq and Volkswagen T-Roc offer Euro quality, while the Mazda CX-30 pairs dynamics with a premium cabin. The choice is seemingly endless in this burgeoning class.  

The bottom line

The Qashqai is a classic case of ‘the more you spend, the less sense it makes. While the Midnight Edition jazzes things up a bit, there really isn’t much point extending into this price bracket. The metal-for-money equation that Nissan’s SUV does so well is no longer in its favour. At $28,290 (manual) and $30,290 (auto), the entry-level ST is about all the Qashqai you’ll ever need. The superior space and easy-to-live-with nature make it appealing to the masses.

So, while the Midnight Edition conjures visual delight and, somewhat out of character, offers grippy performance-orientated rubber, it isn’t the variant to buy. It’s also worth keeping in mind that a new Qashqai is, we’re told, around the corner.
