Post by amz2740 »

Hi all,

So I'm currently in the process of shopping for a QQ...been looking at a few between 2014,2015 & 2016.

Now, according to dimensions I see online these cars are all the same size. But when I go to see them in person, some look bigger than others! I seem to notice a difference when looking at like the bonnet area, or when i sit inside and look out. (seeing the raised bonnet)

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or are the years I've listed above actually the same size. Are there any size differences between lets say n-connecta and n-tekna versions.

I currently have the 2007 model which i know is slightly smaller than the above.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You will find that different colours will make the vehicle appear a different size - black or a very dark colour will appear to look smaller than a white or light colour car.....

Here are a couple of charts with the QQ Dimensions, you will see very slight deviations on these - Dave πŸ˜‰

The lower one is 2013-2017, the upper one is 2017-2021

But realistically they're the same. There is no difference between models in the years you're listing.

The wheels might make them look different but the rolling diameter is the same no matter what the wheel size.

Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated. Say between a 2015 tekna and a 2016 tekna for example, are there any key differences you can think of that may favour one over the other for example.

So your question has already been answered. Here is another Diagram for you.

What are you really looking for when relating dimensions as the differences are pretty small. Do not forget that some QQ’s have Roof Rails and some Dimensions do not show like with the Mirrors open, so just bear this in mind - Dave πŸ€—

Nissan have a habit of changing specifications and there are various options and option packs available too.

The only significant change around that time on a Tekna is that the panoramic roof changed from being standard initially to optional.

Thanks for this - so the issue I'm having I've literally just been to see a 66 plate and honestly it looks noticeably bigger than other 66 plates I've sat in and seen. It's really strange but driving me abit crazy at the same time too lol.
