Fitment questions

Will a headrest from a 2014 Nissan Qashqai fit my 2017 Qashqai?

The second-generation Qashqai (J11) ran from 2014 onwards, so a 2014 and a 2017 are both within the same generation and the headrest is likely to be compatible, though trim level and seat style can affect the exact fit. Check that both cars share the same trim level, as higher trims sometimes have different seat designs with differently shaped headrests. Confirm the match with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Does a headrest from a first-gen Qashqai fit a second-gen Qashqai?

No — the first-generation Qashqai (J10, 2007–2013) and the second-generation (J11, 2014 onwards) are completely different platforms with different seat designs, so headrests are not interchangeable between them. Always buy a headrest that matches your car's generation, and confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration.

Does the trim level matter when buying a used Nissan Qashqai headrest?

Yes, trim level can matter because higher-spec trims such as Tekna or N-Tec sometimes featured different seat materials or seat designs compared to entry trims like Visia or Acenta, which can affect the headrest shape or finish. If you are replacing a headrest on a leather or part-leather seat, make sure the replacement comes from a car with the same seat type so it matches in feel and appearance. Tell the breaker your trim level and registration to help them confirm the right part.

Will a headrest from a 2018 Qashqai fit a 2021 Qashqai?

The J11 second-generation Qashqai received a facelift in 2017, and both a 2018 and a 2021 sit within the post-facelift period, so fitment is more likely provided the trim and seat type match. However, minor running changes can occur across model years, so always confirm compatibility with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.

Does it matter which side the headrest comes from — nearside or offside?

For most standard front headrests, the part is symmetrical and side does not matter, but shaped or winged headrests found on sportier or higher-spec seats can be side-specific. For rear headrests, the centre position is usually different from the outer positions, so make sure you specify exactly which seat position you need. Let the breaker know the row and position when you request a quote.

Can I fit a Nissan Qashqai headrest myself?

A standard headrest simply pulls out of the seat guides and pushes back in, so fitting one yourself is straightforward and requires no tools in most cases. Make sure the guide spacing on the replacement matches your seat, as different seat designs can use different stalk spacings. If you have any doubt about compatibility, a trim or upholstery specialist can confirm the fit quickly.
