Exterior of Nissan Qashqai 2017 in the photo: key changes

The 2017 restyling affected mainly the front part of the crossover. Designers updated:

  • 🔦 Headlights — LED running lights appeared in top trim levels (Tekna), and the shape of the headlights has become more aggressive.
  • 🔦 Radiator grille — chrome elements were replaced with a V-shaped structure with a 3D effect.
  • 🔦 Bumper — the front bumper received new air intakes and integrated foglights.
  • 🔦 Wheels — 19-inch wheels with a five-spoke design appeared in the lineup.

The rear remains virtually unchanged, with the exception of slightly modified taillights with clearer light signatures. The color palette has expanded to include shades Burnt Orange And Magnetic Blue, which look especially good in photos in natural light.

element Before restyling (2014–2016) After restyling (2017)
Headlights Halogen/xenon, without LED DRL LED running lights in top versions
Radiator grille Flat, with horizontal stripes V-shaped, with 3D texture
Front bumper Simple air intakes Aggressive design with chrome inserts
Exterior colors 7 standard shades +2 new: Burnt Orange, Magnetic Blue
💡

To assess the real color of the body, look for photos in daylight - artificial interior lighting distorts shades (for example, Magnetic Blue may appear black in photographs).

Interior in the photo: decoration and ergonomics

Salon Qashqai 2017 has undergone minimal changes compared to the pre-restyling version, but began to look more modern due to new materials. In top trim levels (Tekna) appeared:

  • 🛋️ Leather seat trim with contrast stitching (optional - with heating and ventilation).
  • 📱 7" touch screen with support Apple CarPlay And Android Auto (previously there was a 5-inch one).
  • 🎛️ Leather-wrapped steering wheel and steering wheel shift paddles (in versions with automatic transmission).
  • 🔄 Electric driver's seat with settings memory (optional).

In the interior photo, pay attention to plastic build quality - in basic configurations (Visia, Acenta) hard materials are used that are prone to squeaks. In versions N-Connecta and higher, the plastic is softer, and the finishing seams are neater. Also check in the photos:

  • 🔍 Gaps between panels (allowable play is up to 2 mm).
  • 🔍 Steering wheel condition — abrasions at 9 and 3 o’clock indicate long-term use.
  • 🔍 On-board computer display — in the early batches of 2017 there were cases of pixel burnout.
How to recognize a fake interior in a photo?

Fraudsters often retrofit basic versions by installing leather seat covers and "Tekna" decals on the dashboard. Signs of a fake:

- Mismatched stitching on seats and door panels.

-No Nissan logo on the headrests.

- Plastic door handles in a “leather” interior (chrome-plated in the original).

Photo of the engine compartment and technical features

Under the hood Qashqai 2017 Three engines are available:

  1. 1.2 DIG-T (115 hp) - turbocharged gasoline engine with direct injection. In the photo it is distinguished by a compact air duct housing and a red valve cover.
  2. 1.5 dCi (110/130 hp) - diesel with system AdBlue. Visually recognized by the urea tank next to the battery.
  3. 1.6 dCi (130 hp) - a more powerful diesel engine, installed until mid-2017. The photo of the engine compartment shows a large intercooler.

When studying engine photos, pay attention to:

  • 🛢️ Traces of oil on the cylinder block or cylinder head cover - a sign of gasket leakage.
  • 🔋 Battery status — swollen sides or corrosion of the terminals indicate problems with the electronics.
  • 🔥 Spark plug color (for gasoline versions) - black carbon deposits indicate a rich mixture.
⚠️ Attention: In diesel versions 1.5 dCi after 2017, the turbine design was changed. In the photo of the engine compartment, this can be determined by the presence of an additional boost pressure sensor (located to the right of the turbine).

Comparison of photos before and after restyling 2017

Visual differences Qashqai 2017 from the 2016 model are not always obvious at first glance. To avoid overpaying for the “updated” version, compare the photos for key details:

Detail 2014–2016 2017–2021
Headlights Headlights Qashqai 2016 Without LED DRL Headlights Qashqai 2017 With LED running lights
Radiator grille Lattice 2016 Horizontal stripes Lattice 2017 V-shape 3D design
Tail lights Lanterns 2016 Blurred light signature Lanterns 2017 Clear LED elements

Pay special attention to the photo rear of the body — in 2017, the shape of the bumper and the location of the reflectors were changed. On pre-restyling models, the reflectors are round and built into the bumper, while on updated models they are rectangular and placed at the corners.

💡

The main visual marker of the 2017 restyling is the LED running lights in the shape of the letter “C” inside the headlights. Their absence clearly indicates a pre-2017 model.

Where to find real photos of a used Nissan Qashqai 2017

When buying a used crossover, it is not enough to rely on photos from advertisements. To avoid hidden defects, use the following sources:

  • 📸 Japan Auctions - on Goo-Net Detailed photos have been posted indicating mileage and history.

When analyzing photos of a used car, check:

  1. Coincidence VIN on the body and in the documents (the number under the windshield should be visible in the photo).

To check the originality of the paintwork, ask the seller to photograph the car from different angles in bright light - repainted parts often have a different hue or "orange peel" appearance.

💡

Use the service FotoForensics to analyze photos for signs of editing (for example, cloning pixels to hide dents).
