The previous Qashqai was basically the European version of the Rogue. With its own design.
Now the new X-Trail is the European version of the new 2014 Rogue.
So the new Qashqai is its own thing. Again, for Europe only.
I thought at first it was just going to be a shorter X-Trail/Rogue. But it looks like it does have its own design. Even though the 2 are very, very close.
And of course, the Qashqai is smaller, seating only 5. So better suited for the European market.
