1. Nissan Qashqai 2026: photos before and after restyling
Qashqai - best-selling crossover Nissan in Russia, and no wonder: its design has become the standard for the class. In 2026, the model received updated front end with V-shaped grille, which the manufacturer calls "V-motion 3.0".

- After restyling (2026)
- Both options are good
- I don't like Qashqai
The photo deserves special attention back: The taillights are now connected by an LED strip, which visually expands the crossover. But the trunk remained the same size - 504 liters (with rear seats) and 1,585 liters (with seats folded). The photos below show what the luggage compartment looks like from different angles - pay attention to two-level floor, which allows you to hide small things.
⚠️ Attention: In some photos Qashqai includedTekna+the panoramic roof is visible, but in Russia this option is available only upon request and increases the cost by180 000–220 000 ₽.
2. X-Trail 2026: photo of the 7-seater version and the hybrid version
Nissan X-Trail — the only crossover in the line with the option third row seats. The photo shows that even with the installation of additional seats there remains 230 liters Luggage space is enough for a bag of groceries or a baby stroller. And if you fold the second and third rows, the volume increases to 2,080 liters!
In 2026 X-Trail received e-Power hybrid installation, which combines a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The photographs under the hood show how compactly the system components are located - it did not take up any useful space in the cabin. By the way, the hybrid version differs only in appearance blue accents on the radiator grille and rims (see photo below).
| Modification | Photos of differences | Price from (₽) | Fuel consumption (l/100 km) |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-Trail 2.5 petrol | Standard wheels, black grille | 3 499 000 | 8.1 |
| X-Trail e-Power | Blue accents, "e-Power" badge | 3 999 000 | 6.2 |

3. Nissan Juke: photo of the brand’s most unusual crossover
Nissan Juke - this is "anti-crossover" with polarizing design. Its front end, with its teardrop headlights and huge grille, either pleases you at first glance or turns you off. The photo below shows how Juke looks like compared to Qashqai — the difference in dimensions is colossal, although they are almost the same in price.
In 2026 Juke received new body colors:
- 🟠
Vivid Orange— bright orange with pearlescent effect - 🟣
Akatsuki Purple— purple metallic (only for versionN-Design) - ⚫
Gun Metallic— matte black (optional +50 000 ₽)
In the photo of the salon Juke it is clear that despite its compact size, the space is organized ergonomically. For example, armrest between seats adjustable in height and depth, and the door pockets can accommodate a bottle of 1.5 l. But there is a minus: the trunk is only 422 liters - this is 80 liters less than Qashqai.
How to take photos of a Juke for sale?
To highlight the design Juke, shoot it from a low angle (at headlight level) and use a wide-angle lens. Bright colors look better against a dark background, but avoid direct sunlight on the windshield - they spoil the frame.
4. Nissan Murano: photo of a premium crossover with V6
Nissan Murano - this is flagship crossover brand, which in Russia is sold only in the maximum configuration. The photo shows that its design stands out "floating" roof (black racks create a floating effect) and 20-inch wheels with a unique design.
Under the hood Murano hiding 3.5 liter V6 power 249 hp, but in the photo of the engine compartment what catches your eye is not the engine, but soundproofing - there is 30% more of it here than in X-Trail. You can feel it in the cabin: the noise level at speed 100 km/h does not exceed 62 dB (for comparison: in Qashqai — 68 dB).
In the photos of the salon Murano please note:
- 🪑 Seats with ventilation and massage function (optional for
+120 000 ₽) - 🎶 Audio system Bose with 11 speakers (including subwoofer in trunk)

5. Nissan Kicks vs Terrano: photos of budget crossovers
If you need a crossover Nissan to 2.5 million ₽, the choice comes down to two models: Kicks (urban) and Terrano (with increased ground clearance). The photo below shows how they differ in design:

6. Rare photos: what Nissan hides in official catalogs
Manufacturers often retouch photos for catalogs, removing minor imperfections. We have collected real pictures, which show crossovers Nissan without embellishment:
- 🔦 Qashqai: traces of corrosion on the thresholds after 3 years of operation (see photo below)
- 🚪 X-Trail: back door play in cold weather (a common problem until 2022)
- 🔥 Juke: overheating of brake discs after active driving (visible by blackened coating)
Another secret - difference in interior lighting. In official photos Murano always shown with the backlight turned on, but in reality during the day it is almost invisible. But at night (see photo) the effect of a “starry sky” is created thanks to the built-in LEDs in the ceiling.
And finally, unique photo of the 2026 Nissan Ariya prototype, which has not yet gone on sale. It shows that the crossover will receive new boomerang-shaped taillights and hidden door handles (like Tesla). The official debut is expected at the end of 2026.
7. How to choose the color of a Nissan crossover from a photo: designer tips
Body color affects not only the appearance, but also resale value. Analysis of advertisements shows that Nissan Qashqai in color Pearl White sold 5–7% more expensive than in Solid Black. But Juke in bright colors (Vivid Orange, Electric Blue) loses in value by 10–15% after 3 years.
Look at the photo comparison of popular colors:
- 🟤
Khaki Metallic(on X-Trail): masks dirt, but visually makes the car “older” - 🔴
Power Red(on Murano): attracts attention, but requires frequent washing - 🟦
Deep Blue Pearl(on Qashqai): universal, but in the sun a purple tint appears
Autophotographer Tip: If you choose a dark color, shoot the car against the backdrop of light buildings - this way it will look more contrasting. For light shades, a natural background (forest, field) is suitable. The photo below shows how the same Nissan Kicks looks in Silver Metallic on different backgrounds.
Colors Pearl (mother-of-pearl) are more expensive 30 000–80 000 ₽, but they mask scratches and chips better than regular metallics.
