Additional Notes

  • Both the Qashqai 1.7 dCi DPF and the 1.7 dCi DPF AWD share an identical AdBlue tank capacity of 16 liters across the 2018-2020 model years.
  • A 16-liter AdBlue reservoir is a relatively large tank for a compact crossover, which generally corresponds to extended refill intervals under normal driving conditions.
  • The Nissan Qashqai J11 (EU) AdBlue specifications are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 16-liter capacity figure applies to standard, everyday driving rather than severe or demanding operating cycles.
  • Both configurations are equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system, which is the emissions control technology that consumes AdBlue by injecting it into the exhaust stream to convert nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water.
  • The front-wheel-drive 1.7 dCi DPF and the all-wheel-drive 1.7 dCi DPF AWD variants carry the same 16-liter AdBlue capacity, indicating the drivetrain configuration has no bearing on the SCR system tank size in these models.
