Qashqai - belt or chain cam?
I am trying to find out if the Qashqai 1.6 petrol vehicle has a cam chain or belt. I am looking for a 57/08 model. Would you recommend looking for a vehicle with a cam chain rather than belt?
Is there a better small SUV for the same sort of price?

The 1.6 petrol engine is chain cam. The only Qashqai with a belt cam engine is the 1.5 DCI. But it's very low geared so quite noisy on the motorway.

Very comfortable front seats with good ride. Feels well built. Strong Renault sourced dCi diesels. Elevated driving position and good visibility.
