I have 1.6 s nav energy diesel 2016. Great reliable car looks great, half leather, 19 in alloy wheels, Fantastic on fuel one of the best cars i have owned
Amazing, Brilliant ... I have just pick it up mine Kadjar Signature BOSE speakers in RED on Christmas Eve and its GREAT lot of Fun and tech features. I am loving it! :-)
+Chris Sorreda Qashqhai is a Turkish name and has nothing to with indian, Kadjar is a french name and yes since French is a Indo-European language, it is indian-ish.
+Stephen Clarke hmm.. what about calling it a matter of taste?.. I find Kadjar WAY better looking than the Qashqai.. it also drives better (corners better and is more comfortable).. and the EDC auto is WAY better than Nissans xtronic (cvt). I have a Qashqai 2010 at the moment.. just drove ALL SUVs in the class.. and just ordered a top spec Kadjar as a result. Only thins Nissan has that is better is the 360 view feature..
Best in class I think. More spacious (both in the back seats and in the boot), more comfortable and more stylish (especially inside) than the Qashqai on which it's based. Renault also fits the Kadjar with better seats (thanks to thicker padding of the seat bases) and its R-Link infotainment system, which is just one step ahead of what you get in the Nissan.I can't help but think that this Kadjar is a better overall package than the Captur, and stands out from the crossover crowd even more.
In Portugal there's a silly law that states that every car taller than 1.10 meters from the front axle will belong in an upper class on the highway (it will pay twice as much). So, for instance, a Nissan Qashqai's bonnet is below 1,10m but the Kadjar's is 1,13m, something like that, for esthetic reasons. So, in order not to belong in that stupid class, Renault will have to lower the suspension and the car will only be launched next year. The car will look sillier and the ride will be more unconfortable. That stupid law also allows for a limusine to carry a circus caravan to be in the cheaper class, but an Opel Mokka will belong in the more expensive class. Isn't that great?
Would rather have the Qashqai but good effort from Renault. Renault have really improved their Reliability and Quailty over the years like Skoda Hyundai and Kia.
hired one of these in majorca last week. brand new, top of the range. I'm not an SUV fan but I really enjoyed driving it. Decent poke from the diesel on the mway and the auto parking just never gets old - loved it so much!
Well the only thing wrong with it is properly the Name; Renault "Kadjar" Pronounced "Kadkai".... and the only thing wrong with the vid is 360p resolution - Hangovers anybody ? forgot the settings or what...lol
Easy for you to call the Qashqai excellent but I've heard too many owner reliability horror stories to ever consider any of these Renault collaboration versions.
So far the Nissan Qashqai has sold big time here in the UK. Given that the Kadjar is essentially the same car (engineering wise), yet slightly larger and more practical they could genuinely start selling well. This could be a turning point for Renault as they don't exactly have the best reputation for reliability, and have loss popularity in recent years as a result. Reading/pronouncing the name is going to be a constant problem though.
I think Ford Mo Co is the sole looser here in small SUV market Ecosport is good still no way near as good as Duster nor these So is the Kuga, it needs major refreshment
We'll have to wait and see what happens here in NZ. People trust Japanese reliability more than European. The majority won't know the Renault is based on the Nissan. (And vice versa)
I don't really think this is going to sell. As a Nissan and Renault owner I would never buy a renault again, but i just bought the new qashqai after i had an almera for 15 years. Nissans for EU are made in the UK with real standards in mind, while Renaults are made in Turkey, France and Spain and they are really crappy. My current renault has in average one a month in the service for the past 4 years ( yes...about 40 + times ) for different faults, so never again. There is a huge quality difference for the parts in those cars, even though the design might be the same.
+MrFranzisc The early 2000s Renaults were crappy in terms of reliability but nowadays Renault reliability and quality ranking is one of the highest in Europe. Check the latest AutoExpress quality and reliability survey.
CeilingFans4UrLife When you turn right of left foglights provide extra lighting, they are automatically turned on / off by the car, it is not broken :)
Tolga Uşaklı it makes sense. Although more expensive and advanced cars will dim the light when turn signals are on, which seems better to me both in safety and cosmetics
Yippie, ...with all of the length (same as EU's X-Trail, but longer than the Qashqai), but without the optional kid-only rear jump seats almost all of the US-spec Rogue levels (Platinum excluded) get. Those are also available in the EU X-Trail, but not in the Qashqai. Also all EU models use lower output engines than the US Rogue (NA 175hp/170 lb-ft 2.5L I4). And don't believe those fuel compsumption figures quoted in EU shows, videos and magazines... They're GROSSLY OVERSTATED (much more so than US-EPA's and still those are slightly so) and it is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE for a European driver to get even near to those numbers IRL. 74 MPG on a 1.5L TDi? Think closer to the 150hp 2.0L TDi VW uses in several C and C/D-sized cars (slightly less than 30 US MPG city cycle and low to mid-40 US MPG's on the highway cycle
syxepop Some nice comparison statistics. Thanks! Keep one thing in mind though, a gallon in the UK is bigger than a USA one. 1 imperial UK gallon is equal to a little over 1.2 USA gallons. 1=1.20094992043
Yippie, even with the ~ +20% difference between an Imperial Gallon and a US Gallon all EU's (even JP's) fuel compsumption numbers are higher than the US-EPA ones and what any driver can expect from the vehicle. So don't expect ITRW much more than 35 MPIG (or their metric equivalent) or so on normal highway driving cycle and much more than 22 MPIG (or its' metric equivalent) on a city driving cycle. That's unless you "hyperdrive" (something hybrid vehicle owners can explain to you) and get +10-20% those numbers. These are moderately substantial (C-size based) crossover SUV's with an ~ 3500-4000 US lbs. kerb weight, depending on engine size/kind and propulsion system (FWD vs. AWD).
syxepop True. The most mpg I have seen for a non-hybrid car in the USA are VW Golf diesels. Many show on youtube that they average about 47 mpg on the highway. That's really good. The UK and Euro figures do seems too optimistic. The EPA numbers are much closer to reality.
syxepop (NA 175hp/170 lb-ft 2.5L I4) ??? Hueeeeeeeeeeee !!! Our smallest 1.5 dci has 192ft of torque Our 1.6 diesel has 236ft of torque More torque when going uphill with the vehicle loaded or pulling a trailer makes a massive difference Your 2.5L4 engine is 2 MPH faster (top speed) but it gets Catastrophic fuel consumption and extremely low performance for its size
The Qashqai is better for it's quality interior but the mpg is terrible as a friend of ours has just found out when he got his new Qashqai last month... But the kadjar is by far the best value for money out of the two
+Joshua L He'd be surprised if he drove it though. I have a BMW E60 MSport and the Kadjar quality level is almost the same as the BMW. Leather seats are definitely more comfortable.
+Mark Adrian Sammut - Renault are in a similar boat to Jaguar and Land Rover. Working very hard to improve quality / reliability of their cars but some people will never let go of old stereotypes.
360p really in 2015 WTF
Mouhiddine Hassani the resolution is overpowered hehe :D

Mouhiddine Hassani I read that as 360 hp and freaked out, lol
maximus9401 that would of been awesome hahha :D
Mouhiddine Hassani It's a twin turbo 360p. The output is actually the same as a naturally aspirated 720p.
I have 1.6 s nav energy diesel 2016. Great reliable car looks great, half leather, 19 in alloy wheels, Fantastic on fuel one of the best cars i have owned
Amazing, Brilliant ... I have just pick it up mine Kadjar Signature BOSE speakers in RED on Christmas Eve and its GREAT lot of Fun and tech features.
I am loving it! :-)
The Reanult has a smoother drive than the Quashqai.
Well, I can't say that really, That was from the 2012 quashqai.
I like New Renault Kadjar - better than a Nissan Qashqai? - Auto Express
What's up with the Indian-ish names tho?
+Chris Sorreda Qashqhai is a Turkish name and has nothing to with indian, Kadjar is a french name and yes since French is a Indo-European language, it is indian-ish.
First
Had a test drive booked in this yesterday, decided not to bother when I saw it, UGLIEST car I have ever seen. Very nice wheels though.
+Stephen Clarke hmm.. what about calling it a matter of taste?.. I find Kadjar WAY better looking than the Qashqai.. it also drives better (corners better and is more comfortable).. and the EDC auto is WAY better than Nissans xtronic (cvt). I have a Qashqai 2010 at the moment.. just drove ALL SUVs in the class.. and just ordered a top spec Kadjar as a result.

What about the dealing of the gear stick? Is like the one back in 2000 with this loose feeling?
Surprisingly the best interior i have seen on a Renault for years: clean and stylish.
It's ridiculous that Renault-Nissan confront their models. The Quasqai and Kadjar are the same except some differences, it's the same for other models
Does the reviewer know any words other than "ever so slightly"?
In Portugal there's a silly law that states that every car taller than 1.10 meters from the front axle will belong in an upper class on the highway (it will pay twice as much). So, for instance, a Nissan Qashqai's bonnet is below 1,10m but the Kadjar's is 1,13m, something like that, for esthetic reasons.

Would rather have the Qashqai but good effort from Renault. Renault have really improved their Reliability and Quailty over the years like Skoda Hyundai and Kia.
So comparing between the petrol models of both Kadjar and Qashqai.....Who do you think is better as overall ?!
hired one of these in majorca last week. brand new, top of the range. I'm not an SUV fan but I really enjoyed driving it. Decent poke from the diesel on the mway and the auto parking just never gets old - loved it so much!
Motorway in Majorca? Are you sure that's where you went? lol
you said "ever so slightly" quite a few times lol
Well the only thing wrong with it is properly the Name; Renault "Kadjar" Pronounced "Kadkai".... and the only thing wrong with the vid is 360p resolution - Hangovers anybody ? forgot the settings or what...lol
You two have accomplished great things in your life...
Easy for you to call the Qashqai excellent but I've heard too many owner reliability horror stories to ever consider any of these Renault collaboration versions.
So far the Nissan Qashqai has sold big time here in the UK. Given that the Kadjar is essentially the same car (engineering wise), yet slightly larger and more practical they could genuinely start selling well.

Reading/pronouncing the name is going to be a constant problem though.
Why there is not a single model of Renault Kadjar 4WD automatic diesel model !!?...
+may1787 There is actually - The signature Bose 1.6DCI automatic 4WD
+Mark Adrian Sammut No my friend... it is not Automatic....it's manual I think
We get it here in Malta
+may1787 you can get it upon request as an additional feature
I think Ford Mo Co is the sole looser here in small SUV market
Ecosport is good still no way near as good as Duster nor these
So is the Kuga, it needs major refreshment
We won't be getting it here in OZ and even if we did we wouldn't get the diesel.
Most manufacturers treat us like the poor relations.
Is the diesel particular filter covered by warranty as most manufacturers don't do this and it can cause severe engine damage if it goes wrong
Nice to see you mat nice review as always I like that car but looks to cloney the cars all look the same now copy this copy that but nice all the same
On the side, looks like a Qashqai, from the back looks like a swollen Clio
What were you doing in Spain. lol I am from Spain xD
Why you guys can't upload this in a higher resolution?
Check my a45 amg sound
what happened to the Koleos? was it discontinued?
More comfortable than qashqai
It's not a 'cadjer' it's a 'ka-jarr'
4 to the W to the D...
Not another daft crossover
Renault Badger?
What version is IT?
I prefer this design over the qashqai
Agreed. Most reviews seem to indicate it has taken the crown as top mid size SUV here in the UK at least.
We'll have to wait and see what happens here in NZ. People trust Japanese reliability more than European. The majority won't know the Renault is based on the Nissan. (And vice versa)
Second
Wwwwa
ok

Does he know anything about cars I often wonder
Just got a 1.5 (Bose) diesel. Brilliant! Only shame is that it's "French" and we can't make family cars in the UK anymore!!!
How did you like 1.5? Im currently looking to buy used one. Currently there is no 1.6 engine ones on the market near me.
It's a Nissan Rogue

Nissan is better and it look's better.. !!
where is the obd2 connector on renault kadjar
Buy Cadjar .Support Chinese economy.
Actually it's made in Spain - nothing Chinese about the car. Inform yourself before spewing all over a public forum.
The Qashqai is better for it's quality interior but the mpg is terrible as a friend of ours has just found out when he got his new Qashqai last month... But the kadjar is by far the best value for money out of the two
