Nissan Qashqai bar chart (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4)

Drivetrain: front-wheel drive
Body: SUV / crossover
PSI F / R: 32-35 / 32-35
Bar F / R: 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4

bar

2.31 / 2.31

32-35 / 32-35 psi · 231 / 231 kPa

32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa

2.3 bar is not 23 psi. On this Qashqai 2.2-2.4 bar converts to about 32-35 psi. Use the table, not a guess. Size estimates on this page include 255/50R20, 215/70R16 and 245/55R19 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

Bar, PSI and kPa

Bar-led conversions around the Nissan Qashqai. 2.2-2.4 bar is not “32-35 divided by ten”.

Nissan Qashqai placard versus sidewall

If the Nissan sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (255/50R20 and others)

If your Nissan Qashqai no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 255/50R20 or 215/70R16 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
255/50R20	37	37	2.55	2.55	255	255	20-inch plus-size
215/70R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Compact crossover
245/55R19	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Low-profile 19-inch
235/65R17	35	36	2.41	2.48	241	248	Mid-size SUV
225/60R18	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Highway CUV
235/60R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Plus-size 18-inch
245/60R18	36	37	2.48	2.55	248	255	Heavier CUV
225/65R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Very common 17-inch

Load notes

Load moves the rear of a SUV / crossover first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.

Condition	Front (est.)	Rear (est.)
Driver only	34 psi / 2.34 bar	34 psi / 2.34 bar
Full occupancy	35 psi / 2.41 bar	36 psi / 2.48 bar
Motorway + luggage	36 psi / 2.48 bar	36 psi / 2.48 bar

How to set the Qashqai

Park the Nissan Qashqai for at least three hours (cold tyres).
Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
Set the placard for that axle — about 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Qashqai is enough to feel a pull.
Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Temperature drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Qashqai.

Ambient	Gauge (front mid)	Bar	kPa	Note
−5 °C (hard frost)	31 psi	2.14 bar	214 kPa	Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm
0 °C	32 psi	2.21 bar	221 kPa	Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm
8 °C (UK winter morning)	33 psi	2.28 bar	228 kPa	Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm
20 °C (set cold here)	34 psi	2.34 bar	234 kPa	Baseline
30 °C	36 psi	2.48 bar	248 kPa	Do not bleed a hot tyre
38 °C (heatwave tarmac)	37 psi	2.55 bar	255 kPa	Do not bleed a hot tyre

Nissan notes

A Qashqai and a Navara do not share a number. Vans and taxis may sit higher than a family hatch.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Nissan Qashqai usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.

If the Nissan sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Qashqai

What is that in bar and kPa for the Qashqai?

Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.

What PSI if I plus-size toward 245/55R19?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 255/50R20, 215/70R16 and 245/55R19 as a planning band.

How often should I check a Qashqai?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.

Front versus rear on the Nissan Qashqai?

This row is 32-35 F / 32-35 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.

What tyre pressure should a Nissan Qashqai use?

Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
