Both years fall within the second-generation Qashqai (J11, launched 2014), so the tailgate should be from the same platform and body shell. However, Nissan carried out a facelift in 2017 which may have brought pressing or trim-panel changes around the tailgate area, so a 2014-to-2017 swap crosses that boundary. Name the exact year of both donor and recipient to your breaker and ask them to confirm the panels are a direct match before buying.
No — the first-generation Qashqai (J10, 2007–2013) and the second-generation (J11, 2014 onwards) are entirely different platforms with different body shells, so the tailgates are not interchangeable. Always match the generation when sourcing a used tailgate from a breaker.
Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Qashqai — the shell pressing is the same across Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, and Tekna within the same generation. Bear in mind that higher trims such as Tekna may have a rear wiper, rear washer jet, or spoiler finisher already fitted to the donor tailgate, so you may receive slightly different ancillaries depending on the spec of the breaker's car.
The Qashqai+2 was a longer, seven-seat variant of the first-generation J10 and had a different rear end to the standard five-seat Qashqai, so the tailgates are not the same part. If you own a Qashqai+2, make sure you tell the breaker specifically, as many dismantled cars in their stock will be the standard-length model.
A 2015 Qashqai sits in the pre-facelift J11 generation, while a 2018 car is post-facelift (the facelift arrived for the 2017 model year), so these two cars sit either side of a known styling update. The tailgate shape may differ around the light clusters and panel edges, and you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific pressing matches your registration before purchasing.
Engine choice and drivetrain (front-wheel drive versus four-wheel drive) have no bearing on rear tailgate fitment — the body shell is the same regardless of what is under the bonnet. Focus instead on confirming the generation (J10 2007–2013 or J11 2014 onwards), the facelift year within that generation, and whether the donor car is a standard Qashqai or the longer Qashqai+2.
