The third-generation Qashqai (J12, 2021-onwards) shares its front and rear seats across mild-hybrid petrol and e-POWER. Battery packaging affects boot volume but not passenger seating. Any J12-specific cover set fits either powertrain.
Fit facts at a glance
| Fact | Value |

What to look for on the listing
- Every cover must be explicitly labelled airbag-compatible.
- Mild-hybrid and e-POWER cover sets cross-fit.
- Tekna+ adds a full-length glass roof; that does not affect seat covers but reduces rear headroom for child seats.
- N-Design adds sports pedals and cosmetic trim, not deeper seat bolsters.
- 2024 facelift covers are the same as pre-facelift.
Frequently asked questions
Do second-gen J11 Qashqai covers fit the current car?
No. The J12 uses new seat frames with different bolster geometry and headrest post spacing. J11 covers gape.
Are Tekna+ leather seats an issue for covers?
Not for fit. Leather is smoother than cloth, so covers slip on more easily. Non-slip cover linings help keep them in place.
