Author – Özgür Sunay | Photo – Can Aydeniz

2020 UEFA Champions League I recently tested the official sponsor Nissan, Qashqai UEFA Champions League Edition. The model, which reflects the UEFA Champions League (UCL) spirit in its design, was presented to the appreciation of drivers who want to personalize their vehicle and feel special. Designed specifically for those who want to add innovation and excitement to their lives, the model has now taken its place in dealers on sale in Türkiye. As a Qashqai fan, I was really curious about this vehicle. UEFA Champions League, one of the most private football organizations in the world, has been a tool that reflects the intersection of the concept of “excitement engineering ile with the advanced acting techniques that require engineering.

Platinum Premium version includes important details, including interior and outdoor spaces. The interior includes additional lighting door spills and the front console application with the UEFA Champions League logo. In the outdoor, the bright black rear window, rear bumper, side door and front bumper lower laths, baggage lid, side slats and front doors are available in the UEFA Champions League Logo application. In addition, 19 ”IBISCUS bright black wheels and ambience lighting in this version. Sharp horizontal and output side, the larger and larger grilled bumper structure is also worthy of the rear stop lamps.

With its design lines, robustness and technology, Nissan Qashqai, the indispensable SUV model of the Turkish market, continues to be the leader of its class. Nissan Qashqai, the most preferred SUV model of Türkiye for more than 10 years, became the leader of the C-SUV segment in which the SUV body type was best sold in Türkiye with 2 thousand 31 sowing sales in October, when the automobile market was realized as 76 thousand 341 units. Nissan Qashqai offers a safe and comfortable driving experience with many Nissan Intelligent Mobility features such as Smart Parking Assistant, Smart Collision Prevention System, Smart Cross Traffic Warning System, Smart Fatigue Detection System.

In this respect, it makes Qashqai models seriously important. Especially I have done the test drive; I can say that the 1.3 DIG-T 160 HP turbo gasoline engine reflecting the spirit of UEFA Champions League (UCL) in my design. It really needs to be celebrated in this sense of the vehicle. The new 1.3-liter DIG-T gasoline new engine option draws attention with its high efficiency despite its 160 horsepower. With less fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions, NISSAN QashqaI 1.3 liter DIG-T gasoline engine option was developed in cooperation with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubihi alliance and Daimler. NISSAN, the 1.3-liter DIG-T gasoline engine for the first time in QashqaI, the model in question, the model 6-speed manual and completely newly developed 7-speed 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) options are offered. For the first time in a NISSAN model, the dual -clutch transmission is used to the drivers; It provides sporty and more direct dynamic experience, improved Dur-Jalk performance and soft power distribution. The manual gear version has 260 Nm of torque, while the dual -clutch automatic gear -up version has 270 Nm of torque. This improved gasoline -driven series brings a new standard for driving in NISSAN QashqaI. Thanks to more power and torque, drivers will easily recognize advanced reaction and acceleration, softer and more linear power distribution, and quiet driving experience.

I have always said; I do this job and I have to change vehicles too much. During these changes, sometimes I have to switch to a different vehicle right after using very expensive high levels. In those cases, I have to say very clearly a Nissan Qashqai that it has been the tool that I find myself most comfortable and feel the most trouble -free. When Qashqai moves to the steering wheel, there is a relief. I don’t know why. There are those who think I am advertising here. It could be. But not; I just wanted to write the truth to you. I think Qashqai needs advertising? I can say that Qashqai and X-Trail have been the most comfortable tool I have used so far, including the most trouble-free and long way. I made long journeys with SUVs in the very expensive luxury segment and 4 × 4s. Their pleasure is indisputable, but I can say that fast motor fast SUVs are more harsh especially in long road usage and they are more exhausting me with serial uses. Believe me, the more comfortable and fast the vehicle is, the more powerful the performance consumes, the more they are tired of us. I haven’t felt it until this time with Qashqai. I went to Antalya, Kemer, Finike from Istanbul, or I went to Marmaris and returned to Marmaris the next day without sleeping and driving a car. In these cases, I have always crossed those roads with Qashqai.

In this respect, I feel comfortable in Qashqai and especially in X-Trail. With this vehicle I made the latest test drive, we also made a small journey and test drive to Kartepe. We set off with my friend who took my photos. We always took it to Kartepe while the mountain was closed with snow. Now for the first time we wanted to go through that road in these beautiful autumn weather. For the first time, I was able to see Qashqai and Kartepe without snow. This was a first for me. We left the secondary mountain road again. Taking photos. It was fine. Then always doing what I do again; This time on the way back on the way back to the Kartepe Greenpark Hotel from the Main Road, that is, the vehicle road full of bends full of bends downhill slopes downhill with the famous Kartepe road with a car started to descend manually and a little bit.

This road is actually the road to TOSFED (Turkish Automobile Sports Federation) national climbing races. We made our landing instead of climbing. This was an activity that we have not done in this period for a long time. We had a nice day in the nature environment with different atmosphere. Then, as soon as we returned to Istanbul, we put the vehicle into a hard land in the back of the Formula1 runway, which Tosfed organized the national rally races. Here again, while taking photos of the vehicle thoroughly in the mud and the test track is not very hard soft parts of the light soft parts of the land. What are we sick?… Then that wasn’t enough. We could sit to share these photos of the vehicle and went to a place to drink our coffee on fatigue. We started to share the design photos we made instantly from my friend’s instagram account. I could no longer use a car from looking at the likes.
That degree…
