I reached out to my contact at Curt and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13204 is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Nissan Rogue Sport. We don't have a confirmed fit for the Nissan Qashqai because it wasn't released in the US market. This hitch has a concealed cross tube and a square tube design that has a gloss black powder coat finish.

If you will be towing with this vehicle, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118480. This 4-way flat trailer connector has quick connectors that plug into factory wiring behind each of your tail lights. It has a powered ModuLite to protect your factory wiring from overload, so a hot lead to your battery will be required. I've attached an article to assist with running this wire.

For a ball mount, I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
