Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Qashqai is a new compact crossover SUV to be released in early 2007 for the 2008 model year by the Japanese automaker Nissan. The Rogue will be sold in North America and will replace the Nissan X-Trail in Canada as Nissan's smaller crossover SUV, as the Murano continues to grow in size and price. The Nissan Rogue will make its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 7, 2007.

And for you automotive history buffs, Rambler used the Rogue nameplate in mid-1966 on a "performance" edition of the American.

Qashqai


 * For 2009, Nissan adds a 7-seat LWB variant to the Qashqai (and JDM Dualis) range tentatively called the Qashqai+2. Expected to debut at the 2008 London Motor Show, the crossover is now extra long by 211 mm or 8.3 in to 4,526 mm or 178.2 in over the 5-seater. The wheelbase has also grown by 135 mm or 5.3 in. – taking it to 2,765 mm or 109 in. It is also extra higher by 38 mm (now 1,643 mm or 64.7 in) due to the roof being reshaped. Headroom benefits all around. All this extra real estate has taken a toll on the vehicle. It now sports a porky extra 100 kg or 220 pounds of weight so Nissan has seen it fit to overhaul the suspension settings and retune steering assistance. In Europe, the fat will be shoved along by a choice of two gas/petrol and two diesel burners:


 * 1.6 litre Petrol 115 Hp FWD + 5-speed Manual
 * 2.0 liter Petrol 140 hp Nissan ALL-MODE 4WD + 6-speed Manual (optional Nissan CVT)
