The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2020 Nissan Qashqai at Spinelli Nissan

Qashqai vs Crosstrek! Let's see what the comparison between the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2020 Qashqai presented by Spinelli Nissan, your Nissan dealer on Montreal's West Island, reveals.

Urban SUVs

Sub-compact SUVs, often referred to as urban crossovers, appeared on our streets about 5 years ago. Indeed, the Crosstrek came out with its 2016 edition and the Qashqai appeared on the Canadian market with its 2017 edition.

A trendy market

Very trendy, urban SUVs have a youthful look. The 2020 Nissan Qashqai is a vehicle with a dynamic and sporty charisma that clearly stands out from the rather traditional look of the 2020 Crosstrek.

Indeed, with its inspired design, boomerang-shaped lights and V-shaped grille, the 2020 Qashqai sets the trend standard when compared to the Subaru Crosstrek with its fairly square profile as well as its hood and tailgate with pretty conventional lines.

The 2020 Qashqai offers a palette of 8 lush, almost tropical colours, ranging from Monarch Orange to Nitro Lime, including Scarlett Ember. For its part, the Subaru Crosstrek sticks to commonplace colours, including Lagoon Blue Pearl, Grey Khaki and Crystal White Pearl.

The Qashqai is more modern and less expensive than the Crosstrek

In addition to a modern and dynamic look, the suggested retail price (MSRP) of the 2020 Nissan Qashqai entry-range model, the S version, is only $23,563, while the 2020 Crosstrek Convenience is $25,833.

Qashqai power moonroof and wheels

The 2020 Qashqai accommodates 5 passengers most comfortably in its high-quality seats. The front seats are equipped with the Quick Comfort rapid heating system, which the Crosstrek does not offer. With the exception of the base model, every Qashqai comes standard with a power moonroof, while it's only available as an option on a few models of the 2020 Crosstrek.

The SL and SL Platinum versions of the Qashqai also feature 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, while the 2020 Crosstrek Limited settles for only 18-inch wheels.

The Qashqai is more practical than the Crosstrek

The 2020 Nissan Qashqai's rear door opens to provide 648.5 litres (22.9 ft³) of cargo space behind the rear seats when they are up, and 1,730.2 litres (61.1 ft³) when folded down. The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek offers only 588 litres (20.8 ft³) of cargo space behind the rear seats in the upright position, and 1,565 litres (55.3 ft³) in the folded-down position.

The 2020 Qashqai’s ProPILOT Steering Assist

Nissan has developed remarkable safety technologies. Every 2020 Qashqai is equipped with several standard or available driver assist systems, including the ProPILOT Steering Assist, which automatically adjusts your steering to help you stay between the lines and keep you centered when cornering. The 2020 Crosstrek offers no such system!

With Nissan Intelligent Mobility, a full suit of driving aids constantly scan the road for potential hazards. It includes the following features:

• Intelligent Cruise Control,
