How to determine that your Qashqai J10 is a restyled version?

Before looking for spare parts, make sure that your car is a restyled version J10 (2010-2013). Main differences from the pre-restyling model (2007-2010):

  • 🔹 Front bumper — the design of the air intakes has been changed, chrome inserts have been added on versions Tekna And Acenta.
  • 🔹 Optics — headlights and taillights received new graphics, and LED running lights appeared in top trim levels.
  • 🔹 Radiator grille — became wider, with three horizontal stripes (pre-restyling had two).
  • 🔹 Tail lights — The shape and location of the LEDs in the brake lights have been changed.
  • 🔹 Interior - updated center console, steering wheel (in top versions - leather with perforations), instrument panel with white backlight.

To accurately identify the model, check VIN code car. Restyled versions have symbols SJNFBAJ11U (gasoline) or SJNFDAJ11U (diesel) at the beginning of the code. You can also check the year of manufacture by 9th character of VIN:

2011 B The gearbox has been improved (the “twitching” at low speeds has been eliminated)
2012 C ECU firmware updated, suspension settings changed
2013 D Last batches before generation change (J11)

If your car is manufactured in transition period (late 2009 - early 2010), some details may relate to the pre-styling version. In this case, when ordering spare parts, please specify body number or production date (indicated on the plate under the hood).
