Measurement notes

VDA luggage volumes (504 l seats up / 1447 l seats down for mid-grade trims with adjustable luggage boards; 479 / 1422 l with Bose audio; 436 / 1379 l on Tekna+) from Nissan Europe / UK J12 Press Kit.
Linear boot dimensions (length 865 mm seats up / 1650 mm seats down, narrowest width 1040 mm, height 635 mm to parcel shelf / 800 mm to roof with lower floor position), tailgate opening (1040 x 635 mm), loading sill height (770 mm; open tailgate height 1900 mm), and payload (515 kg manufacturer / 501 kg ADAC measured) verified from ADAC Autotest AT6475 (Nissan Qashqai 1.3 DIG-T MHEV N-CONNECTA, April 2025, pp. 3, 4 & 12).

What the numbers mean for loading

The documented opening width and width between the wheel arches are both 104 cm.
The documented opening height (63.5 cm) is lower than the documented cargo height (80 cm): an item that fits inside may not pass through the opening upright.
Folding the rear seats increases the documented floor length from 86.5 cm to 165 cm (measurement points as described by the source).
The documented load sill height is 77 cm — heavy items have to be lifted at least this high.
The documented maximum payload is 515 kg (p. 12, Herstellerangaben — Leergewicht/Zuladung: 1.420/515 kg (1.3 DIG-T MHEV N-CONNECTA; ADAC measured 501 kg)).
Manufacturers measure at specific points that may differ from where your item sits; trims, options (such as a spare wheel or raised floor) and model updates can change the figures.

How to verify these figures on your car

Before collecting something large, measure your own car — it takes two minutes. Measure the opening width at its narrowest point, the opening height from the top of the loading lip, and the width between the wheel arches.

E — Opening height: from the top of the loading lip to the lowest point of the opening (including the latch or seals).
