It's the Nissan Connect so no Android Auto/Apple Carplay. It's a bit dated now and from what I've seen the KJ's map graphics are far better.



I recall no issues with QQ map imaging, but it was a whole lot easier to use, and above all, worked all of the time unlike theKJ's. I preferred it.

I can be seen to being negative against the Kr, but I'm equally scating of the QQ, neither are perfect and both have faults, it's what you can live with that matters most.

However I do have to hang on the tyre issue for UK based QQ's and Kr's, they both eat very expensive tyres way to often for the frugal owner

Oh, wait. Are you with 19" tires? That might explain the difference, cause I'm with 17s..

If you are tall (I'm 187 cm, about 6'2), the front seat leg room in the Kadjar decides it all. The Q is no alternative. 
If you sometimes drive on less than perfect roads, avoid the Kadjar with 19" wheels. Extremely bumpy. 17 is way more comfortable,

Hah :D I'm exactly the same height ;) 100% agree, the 17" are the better choice. They're more comfy in the ride, much cheaper and many more alternatives in brands and models.

I don't see a problem with tyre wear. The original 17" tyres on my Kadjar are Michelins.They have made 42000 km, except for the time winter tyres were used, and they are far from gone yet.
Rear brakes however have something fishy going on. Why do they wear out so much faster than the front brakes? Is it the automatic adjustment of the electric parking brake that is too aggressive?

Ah, a pattern emerges. Yes 19"s on the KR and 18's on the older QQ,  1898 has also reinforced this in a thread above. So all owners with 19" wheels need to re-shoe every 12k or so?

Ok, you can't blanket that but it is what people have reported. It goes against logic, why should low profiles on 19" wheels which are exactly the same rolling radius as cars equipped with 17"s cover less mileage per set, as said, rears looked/look good for 60k???
