Second Hand Nissan Qashqai Bumper

The Qashqai has gone through three main generations in the UK: the first generation (J10) ran from 2006 to 2013, the second generation (J11) ran from 2013 to 2021, and the third generation (J12) launched in 2021 and is still current. Bumpers are not shared between generations, so always make sure your quote is from the correct generation for your car. Give the breaker your registration to confirm the exact match.

The J11 Qashqai received a facelift in 2017, which brought changes to the front-end styling including the bumper, grille, and lights, so pre- and post-facelift bumpers are visually different. Whether a pre-facelift (2013–2017) bumper can physically interchange with a post-facelift (2017–2021) one is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel swaps across a facelift boundary are not always straightforward. Name the specific years of both cars to the breaker so they can advise properly.

For the Qashqai, trim level does not determine which bumper shell fits your car — the key factors are generation and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift. However, higher trims such as Tekna or N-Connecta may have different parking sensor configurations or cosmetic finishes compared to Acenta or Visia, so you may need to transfer sensors or accept a slightly different look if buying from a different trim. Tell the breaker your trim alongside your registration so they can flag any finishing differences.

The Qashqai+2 was a longer-wheelbase variant of the J10 generation, but front bumpers are shared across body lengths within a generation because the front-end structure remains the same. So a J10 Qashqai bumper and a J10 Qashqai+2 bumper should be the same part, though you should still confirm this with the breaker against both registrations to be certain. Wheelbase differences affect the rear of the car, not the front bumper.

A 2019 Qashqai is a post-facelift J11, as the facelift arrived in 2017 and the J11 ran through to 2021. When contacting a breaker, give them your full registration number rather than just the year, as this lets them confirm the exact specification including any sensor or light cut-out requirements. Stating that you need a post-facelift J11 front bumper is a useful starting point, but the registration is the most reliable reference.

Engine type has no bearing on bumper fitment for the Qashqai — the front-end panels are shared across petrol and diesel variants within the same generation and facelift period. The factors that actually matter are whether both cars are from the same generation (J10, J11, or J12) and whether they are pre- or post-facelift. Confirm the year and facelift status with the breaker using your registration, and the engine in the donor car is irrelevant.
