Nissan Qashqai Aerial Replacement Parts

The Qashqai has run across two main generations — the Mk1 (J10, 2006–2013, facelifted 2010) and the Mk2 (J11, 2014–2021, facelifted 2017) — and the aerial mounting points and body panels differ between them, so a Mk1 aerial is very unlikely to fit a Mk2 and vice versa. Within each generation, including across the facelift years, fitment is generally more straightforward as the bodywork stayed consistent. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The J11 facelift arrived in 2017 but the body structure and roof profile of the Mk2 Qashqai remained largely unchanged across the facelift, so the aerial base and fin-style units are often compatible within the Mk2 generation. That said, whether a specific aerial from a 2017 car swaps cleanly onto a 2014–2016 car is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as minor differences in trim panels or fixing points can vary. Don't assume fitment without checking.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna — does not affect the fundamental fitment of the aerial itself, as the roof mounting point is the same across the range. However, you may find cosmetic differences such as the colour or finish of a shark-fin aerial cover, which might not match your car's bodywork if sourced from a different trim or colour. The aerial will still fit, but factor in any cosmetic mismatch when buying from a breaker.

Earlier Mk1 Qashqais (2006–2013) typically used a traditional screw-in mast-style aerial, while many Mk2 models (2014 onwards) moved to a shark-fin aerial integrated into the roof. If you are replacing the unit, make sure the type you source from the breaker matches what your car originally had, as the mounting arrangements are different. Confirm the exact style with the breaker using your registration.

No — the J10 and J11 are different generations with different body panels and roof profiles, so the aerial assemblies are not interchangeable between them. This is a clear generational boundary and parts from either side of 2014 should be treated as incompatible. Source your replacement from the correct generation and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

No — the aerial is a body-mounted component and is not affected by whether your Qashqai has a petrol or diesel engine, or which size engine it is. You only need to match the generation (Mk1 J10 or Mk2 J11) and ensure the aerial type (mast or shark fin) matches your car. Confirm the part with your breaker against your registration before ordering.
