Thank you to all who are subscribed! I'm just about to hit 200,000 subscribers. Hope you all enjoy the content; suggestions are always welcome for future videos!

7:02 Dipstick sold separately! Strike 3. Strike 1: air filter is buried in "secret" location (not a big deal, but still...) Strike 2: changing the alternator requires more of the car to be disassembled than changing the AC pump. 3 strikes that put another car in our junk yards as fast possible.

"dip stick sold separately" lol

Based on that under hood layout it looks like Renault had a little too much influence in the design of this platform and power train.

What I love about these videos is they are going to have a whole 2nd life once these vehicles are 10-20 yrs old** and people who like wrenching on cars themselves can check here to see if that's a used vehicle they want to deal with. **j/k there will be no 20 yr old Nissan CVT vehicles.

i just wanna say your videos are amazing and you provide so much knowledge with each of them. thanks for making all of these

Thoroughly enjoyable and detailed fun review.

Sir, you deserve a lot more subscribers. Your strong knowledge of cars, simple and effective presentation is perfect. Even the toothbrush is endearing!

Thank you so much for your mechanical reviews! You point out not only the strong and weak points of a car, but also how hard/easy it is to replace components when they wear down. Some people may say "ilL jUsT hAvE mY meChaNic dO iT" but little do they realize it will take much more time to repair something if a component is hard to work on, thus a much more expensive bill at the end of the day. Cheers from the West Coast of Canada, Sir!

Almost at 200k subscribers 😁 Can't wait!

Very informative as usual. Well done paz y salud

I rented a Qashqai and the engine was not under powered. The backup camera was all but useless at night! Excellent review.

Purchase your Nissan accessories and parts here: CVT Fluid: amzn.to/3lCeMfe (US) amzn.to/2GfhdnZ (Canada) Air Filter (good luck changing that): amzn.to/3lBfppl (US) amzn.to/3lz1DDI (Canada) Qashqai Accessories: amzn.to/2QEdDG3 (US) amzn.to/3jw4hZ6 (Canada)

looks very different to my 2019 Qashqai for the NZ/AUS market. quite amazed at the difference they have for different markets.

Damn man! You sure are unique! All that knowledge!

It is started to rust in factory...

Very excited to hear your reviews. Better than Pro. Please maintain your style and neutral.

Direct Injection and only 141HP? How did they manage that 😂

ah you just automatically got my like. i thought you will never review old nissan line up. Would love to see a review for qasqhai older brother, xtrail t31. tia

Love these mechanical overviews! Definitely some sketchy engineering and materials choices here, especially whatever pot metal they apparently make the exhaust out of. Makes me question just how long one of these would last before it either rusts out or the CVT fails and the vehicle just gets scrapped.

Love to watch your review. Can you review mercedes and bmw next time compare with Japanese vehicles thx

well i have qashqai 2009 made by UK 2.0L and still working very well without any CVT problems its now cut 122k kilo meters i like too mush , i planning to buy the new xtrial 2021

Nissan CVT making me think twice on buying one

I'd love to see you do some installs as well

I have the 2017 US version. It'll be 7yrs old. No major issues. Only 50k miles. Although I'm not too worried about changing s-plugs only because they'll only be changed a few times during the life of it, I have noticed the rust issue underneath with the suspension. Has a good amount of rot in some spots :( I think Mitsubishis also have this issue. Other than that, the car's been great for me. The cvt felt jolty within the first 20k, but it feels more smoothed out as it's aged. I hope it keeps up.

Wow, most basic maintenance require first remove a bunch of covers and shields... I am glad drivers of this vehicle are not required to enter the vehicle from the tailgate... 😁

First time I witnessed him dropping his tooth brush

I love these walkthroughs. It really helps makes me glad that I gave up being a full time mechanic. What a lot of piss farting around to get to stuff for maintenance. Then again, the old 300ZX was a nightmare to get to the v6 spark plugs. Give me an old style v8 any day. rear wheel drive.

My brothers 2011 Nissan Versa has a 4-Speed automatic transmission and its really reliable even after 300K Kilometers even though things are staring to fall apart. Still runs

Can I ask where the fuel filter is? Is it inside the fuel pump? This car looks to have a good framework with a full metal subframes and metal radiator support.

I like the ending

I have one of these cars, and its not too bad. Car is relatively reliable. Change the cvt fluid every 30k miles or less and you should be fine. You should be able to fill it through the dipstick tube and I've heard they have a plug on the side of the trans where you can fill it like a differential.

I own a Nissan X-Trail T30 which uses QR20DE (predecessor of MR20DD in this video) and it's so much easier to work on! Every sort of essential things like changing spark plugs and air filter is very accessible unlike this car. I hope they use good old QR20DE layout for air intakes.

Two questions. Why does the Qashqai take so long to heat up? Why do the windows fog up?

good job bro

Damn, so much rust already.

My Sentra has same engine from 2007 but wants 5w30 and comes with a dipstick. Only one engine mount and traditional intake design. No vvti I'm pretty sure. At 150k I change the cvt atf every 30k and added a oil cooler and running strong

Did they fix the Tailgate/boot lid handle issue? Had a Dualis so maybe four or so years difference from this model. The tailgate handle is secured by clips. These break after a bit of force and are hard to replace. Solution is to never actually use the handle and let the boot open by itself. Nissan never backed down from claiming it wasn't a design fault in Australia. Some other territories got cheap replacements eg less than $250 USD.

Great info. Why does it take so long* to heat up in the winter. I had a Ford Escape previously and you had to take your coat off. Why do the windows fog up so easily in this car. They also want $500.00 for a DEFA block heater. Anything special about these.

Can you do the Honda 1.5 and 2.0 turbo cars?

My impression is that it is not a bad little vehicle.

I love my 2020 sports rouge!!!

I would never buy one but still find these videos entertaining

What’ are your final thoughts on the rogue sport? Reliable or not?

My mom's 2013 Nissan Altima's CVT failed after 50K miles (after the warranty expired)

how does the air get to the intake tube if when the hood is closed it is blocking it ??

i think nissan cvt are made by jacto, rigth?...i´d like to know what do you think about subaru cvt

Watching this video reminded me of why I’d never buy a Nissan!

so much rust ........what a monstrosity. anyways congrats SK99..... now its time for merch!!! lol ......well im a bias toyota lexus soul hope you can do more breakdowns on them ...

Hw does this compare to other manufacturer's (Japanese and non Japanese)? Is Nissan really sub par?

My brother has one and him and his family love it. He keeps it well maintained. However, I wouldn't volunteer to do work on it as I do on his other cars. I may do brakes, oils and such but suspension? That seems too complicated for a DIY.

The trailing arm is the same as my 20y/ escape

Glued in plastic trim on back doors above window (right/left corner) falls out. Noisey steering rack (when cold) Noisey passenger airvent( sounds like a fly in it). Suspension weak and failed after 30,000. Just a couple of issues I have.

Please review late model Nissan Titan

The top cover piece looks like some you buy at the 99 cent store to replace.

Its a good vehicle imo

Can u do a tour of your garden and back yard?

7:14 how does it shift gears when there are no gears?

hahahahahaha!!!, at the begining the kids at school, but then minute 9:02...you genius man...

What's like the top 3 newer cars to buy?

Can you fill cvt oil from the dip stic not from down the car?

So i was thinking of a 2017 price Qashqai, ford kuga or seat ateca, this vid rules out the Qashqai, ateca is winning at the moment.

When are you going to review a hybrid?

What's your brother's weekly usage on toothbrushes? Seems you have plenty of them....

*Powlichu*

Can’t u just fill the CVt transmission through the dipstick?

Using yr brothers tooth brush gives +10 skills Pls do a Suzuki

Why you don't write YEAR of vehicle in title or description ?

I live in the northeastern U.S., so corrosion is a major concern of mine with regard to vehicles. Interestingly, there is so much on the Interwebs about how auto manufacturers use blah, blah, blah processes and zinc coatings that are, "so much better than autos of the past, woo, woo." Yet, this Nissan is a year or two old and is starting to rust. I have watched similar videos about 1 or 2 year old Jeep Wrangler frames starting to rust. I see A LOT of late model Ford, GM, and Chrysler trucks with spots. At $20, $30, $40, $50,000+ that is criminal! That being typed, I have a 2007 Nissan Altima with CVT transmission that has 165,000 trouble-free miles on it. Zero rust on the body (don't know what the undercarriage looks like), and the engine hums like an old German sewing machine. Also, have a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder, which is THE best of the 6 vehicles I've owned in my life. Not an engineer, however, it's starting to look to me like the overwhelming majority of vehicles made since about 2015 (with the exception of most Toyotas and Hondas) are sub-par (especially relative to their price points). I do NOT give a damn about the diameter of the cupholders, the size of the "infotainment" screen, heated steering wheels, or the number of USB ports. I am only interested in trucks that are built rock solid, can be worked on easily, use metal engine components (where it's smart...............like high heat areas), and have well proven engine and transmission designs and a minimum of computers. This philosophy (and diligent preventative maintenance) have served me very well. Zero engine or transmission issues in 30+ years of driving.

I watched the whole thing although I would never buy a Nissan. Please do the Honda hr-v.

I used to own a 2006 Ford Mondeo that had a simple Mazda-designed 2.0 DOHC I4 engine without variable timing or direct injection and it had 145 hp which is 4 hp more than this crap. Unbelievable

As yes, haynes manuel corperation just lost some money.

Good ole Nissan 😏

These are very much focused to the European market that's why it has a more complex design than the regular Rogue. I'm not sure why they do that.

It is Japanese, but the Renault inspiration is visible.

"reveals a couple of relays but there's no fuses in here" as he's pointing at 4 or 5 fuse links...

Subaru outback 2020 please

Was this car in a flood?

I have wanted to know the pronunciation of this Nissan for years. Cash-Kay, not quash-chi like squash-chi. This has been driving me nuts for years. Thank you

Only 3 more HP than my Chevy Trax and I got a 6 speed trans. No Ill keep my Trax. Its easy to work on.

“Discard if dropped” the Nissan way!

I own a 2016 Qashqai, done 50k miles and the CVT went! all services to date were with Nissan car looks brand new inside and out, such a shame.

I love to see the whole needy gitty of this car since my partner says this car is popular in Europe and he has one

Please tell me the story of the toothbrush!?!?!

Damn this muffler is very rusty for a new car...

You always make fun of economy car AWD lol. Can you review a 4Runner or Wrangler so we can see what a real 4x4 power train looks like? I want to see something that can go over more than a curb on a rain day haha

I had this vehicle for two years with 41,000 km and its was the worst vehicle i have ever had... was in the shop for warranty work way more times then i can count on two hands and at 17,000 km both front struts needed replacement under warranty and to cut right to the chase washout a entire laundry list of all the warranty work i had.. the CVT was on its way out on year almost 3 of having it as my last straw. I have since traded it in as it was turning into a nightmare as it was right from the start even at 8,000 km I was having a long crank over issue with a stalling issue. Never EVER ANOTHER NISSAN!

i would not always assume that a timing chain system is good for the life of vehicle. much better chance on inline 4 than v6 though. great reviews overall

I don't like it compared to the past cars your reviewed. It seems a little bit more complicated without any befit for it being that way.

One 2016 sentra with 110k miles, 1 2018 altima with just over 40k miles and one 2014 altima with 118k miles were traded in bkoz of Nissan marvelous CVT , with heavy loses and two corollas and one civic was welcomed in the family. RIP nissan...we are done with you.

when i saw the convoluted air filter i immediately thought...the french

Man I'd love you to take my car apart 😂

Absolutely hate the air intake design with it blocking everything below and how long of a path it is. How do you jump the car? Electronics under the hood aren’t a big deal. Most electronics are potted or conformal coated so they could be underwater if you want. Also the electronics are in a cast aluminum case so you will likely be dead if the module gets crushed.

قشقایی =Qashqai Qashqaie is a Persian tribe living in Shiraz Province.Not sure why Nissan named it after my tribe 😁

looks like a hassle just to do basic maintenance

I was looking to purchase one of these as I loved the look and thought that as it was a Nissan it would be well made then I watched scotty Kilmer and he certainly ripped into the Nissan and Renault alliance and after doing more research it turned out to be a very unreliable auto, so I bought a Toyota Rav 4 and very glad I did, the more I see reports of this car the worse the car seems to be

Seems like Nissan purposefully make their cars hard to work on. Now imagine a hybrid system included, sounds like stress. I'm definitely not gona pay for more stress.

Insane amount of rust for such a new vehicle

Oh im sorry 140bhp is not enough our irish qashqai 1.6 diesel cvt with a 112bhp is fine enough. Also its pronounce cash ky not kashk.

Now wonder they sell with over £5k discounts in the UK. Even then, still over-priced.
