has looked at the anti-collision beams and interiors of Toyota Landa and Nissan Qashqai, and found that the Qashqai is very unlike a traditional Japanese car, but more like a European car. So what's the situation with the chassis? Today we will dismantle the chassis of these two cars and talk about them together!
Chassis
The chassis flatness of these two cars is relatively good.
There are no protective plates on both sides of the Fenglanda chassis, so the pipelines are exposed. The Qashqai chassis has complete fenders on both sides, and the pipelines are all wrapped.
If you have the impression, we have dismantled the TNGA platform Corolla before. The chassis has three aluminum alloy reinforcements, but this Landa, which is the foreign Corolla CROSS, only has two.
The exhaust insulation of these two cars is well done and nothing is missing.
Landa does not have more coverage and protection for the fuel tank, while Qashqai has a protective plate covering the fuel tank.
Front suspension
Fenglanda uses an H-shaped front subframe. The two longitudinal arms in the front are very thin and connected by bolts; while the Qashqai uses a thick full-frame subframe, which is stamped and welded from a single steel plate. become.
The front suspension of both cars uses a MacPherson structure. Front Landa's front suspension lower swing arm uses a double-layer stamped steel plate, while Qashqai uses a lighter and more expensive aluminum alloy material, which is 1 kilogram lighter, has better elasticity, and has a better driving texture.
Front Landa's steering knuckle (horn) is made of cast iron; while Qashqai is made of lighter aluminum alloy.
According to our actual weighing, the total mass of the front suspension part of the Qashqai made of aluminum alloy is much lighter than that of the Feng Landa made of steel, nearly 3 kilograms. As the saying goes, "1 kilogram unsprung, 10 kilograms unsprung." A lightweight suspension will have better handling performance.
Fenglanda's balance bar rubber sleeve uses ordinary rubber sleeves. Over time, especially in winter, bumpy road sections are prone to abnormal noises; while Qashqai's balance bar rubber sleeves are now more mainstream vulcanization processes, forming a Overall, the abnormal noise caused by the aging of the rubber sleeve can be reduced in the future, but the cost will be higher.
Rear suspension
The rear suspension of the two cars is basically incomparable. Fenglanda has a torsion beam structure, while Qashqai has a four-link independent suspension, and the rear subframe is a full-frame structure.
Front Landa is actually Corolla CROSS abroad. We found that this car in the United States uses the same four-link independent suspension as Corolla, and even has a four-wheel drive system, while domestic Front Landa only has front drive and torque. Liang. The rear suspension of the Qashqai remains the same as that of foreign versions, both are four-link independent suspensions.
Logically speaking, Fenglanda should continue Corolla’s independent suspension, after all, it is actually Corolla CROSS.
The Fenglanda torsion beam is not the hot-pressed torsion beam of the old Corolla, but an open structure with a reinforcing rod inside. This structure is similar to the old Toyota Corolla.
The rear suspension of the Qashqai is a four-link independent structure, two of which are relatively thick, and the upper control arm is still made of aluminum alloy.
Because they are on the same platform, the rear suspension of the Qashqai is actually quite similar to that of the Nissan Loulan.
Landa's rear brake disc is a solid disc, while Qashqai's rear brake disc is a ventilated disc that better dissipates heat.
Summary
Unfair comparison
In terms of chassis structure and materials, Front Landa is still the same as the Toyota car. Even though it claims to be a TNGA platform, it is actually not as good as the Corolla. The international version of Landa is called "Corolla Cross". The rear suspension of the North American version of Corolla Cross is not only a four-link independent structure, but also has four-wheel drive. In Asia and Southeast Asia except China, only high-end models have four-link rear suspension, and the rest are torsion beams. In China, whether it is the GAC Toyota Landa or the FAW Toyota Corolla, the rear suspension is a torsion beam.
Qashqai is more than one level higher than Fenglanda in terms of chassis structure and materials. Because although the new third-generation Qashqai is on the CMF-CD platform, it is not the C version used in the old Qashqai, but directly upgraded to the D version, which is the same as the Loulan we dismantled before. Therefore, the chassis has so many aluminum alloy parts. Therefore, although the two cars Landa and Qashqai have similar appearance and size, similar prices, and appear to be similar on the surface, they are actually not of the same level. One is an enlarged version of Corolla, with a simplified rear suspension; while the other is It is an authentic miniature version of Loulan.
So what about the engines and gearboxes of these two cars? Please continue to pay attention to the subsequent dismantling content.
