Did my first proper long run on my QQ yesterday, a 75 mile round trip. I did notice the ride to be bumpy, at times my head was shaking against the head rest when going at speed on A roads. When I go over speed bumps (much slower) the ride is smooth.
I presume the QQ has a harder suspension?
What does the chassis control/active ride features actually do?
I own a used 1.5 DCI N-connecta 2016 machine

From the Nissan Web Site:

What is New Chassis Control?
A car requires suspension, steering and brakes for everyday driving tasks. These systems or components are collectively known as the chassis. The technology that controls the chassis has made major strides since the birth of the car. In particular, computer technology has greatly improved safety and reliability by electronically controlling the chassis, allowing the adoption of features such as Electronic Stability Control.

Nissan wanted to develop chassis control technology one stage further by adding additional chassis controls to help deliver a fun, confident and comfortable driving experience. The technology Nissan created is the New Chassis Control, which consists of the following three technologies.

Active Ride Control
By controlling the engine (drive force) and brakes, this technology can improve driver confidence and comfort when driving over uneven surfaces.

Active Engine Brake
This technology supports drivers by adding engine braking and reducing the burden on the driver when cornering or braking.

Active Trace Control
This technology helps the driver feel more confident when cornering by controlling the braking on each of the four wheels in response to the driving circumstances, based on the driver's steering, acceleration and braking on winding roads or when entering or exiting an expressway. This can help provide the driver with a more optimal line through a turn.

Daewar, after we ordered our QQ in 2014 I had time to look around and found exactly the documents you have posted in 08.14. The descriptions are well worth reading just to get used to what is available. I filed all this data from Nissan and almost had forgotten them until your Post. If you are interested here are the attachments although they might have been updated on the relevant positions you mentioned - just a bit more reading Thanks Dave :)
