The Nissan Qashqai has horizontal slats on its centre vents, so any vent clip must be the horizontal-slat type. Below the touchscreen sits a shelf-style upper deck on the centre console, which includes the Qi charging pad on higher trims and makes a natural docking spot for a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Are the Qashqai’s vent slats horizontal or vertical?
Horizontal on the centre vents. Vent clips must be horizontal-slat-compatible.
Do mild-hybrid and e-POWER Qashqai dashboards differ for mount fit?
No. Both powertrains share the same dashboard, vent layout and screen configuration.
Does the Qashqai have factory wireless charging?
Yes on N-Design, Tekna and Tekna+; not on Acenta Premium or N-Connecta.
Are pre- and post-facelift MY24 Qashqai dashboards different?
No. The MY24 facelift changed the nose and added digital gauges but did not touch the vent layout or centre-stack proportions.
One thing many buyers miss
The Qashqai’s centre console has a shelf-style upper deck below the touchscreen that includes the Qi charging pad on higher trims. It is a natural docking spot for a phone with a Qi mount, and cable routing from the USB-C ports underneath is neat. Many owners overlook this in favour of vent mounts and end up with a less tidy install.
