We’re big fans of the Renault Kadjar. But what do the critics have to say about it?
AutoExpress
“Inside and outside, the Renault Kadjar exudes quality, feeling well built and stylish throughout
The Renault Kadjar arguably has more character than the slightly generic Nissan Qashqai. Its big, bold nose with the massive Renault logo is very concept car-like, and the swept-back headlights make it immediately more striking to look at.”
TopGear
“The Kadjar isn’t an engaging thing, and there’s very little point in trying to drive it swiftly because that’s not what it’s for. It majors on comfort. The seats are good, road- and wind-noise is well suppressed and the clutch, steering and gearbox are nicely weighted and easy to get to grips with. It even rides well. It’s at least as good as the Qashqai, which makes it very good indeed.”
CarBuyer
“While Qashqai relies on edgy aggression to get noticed, the Kadjar looks rather more approachable, with softer lines that embody Renault's latest corporate look. The headlamps are sleek and incorporate LED daytime running lights, while chrome is used subtly to add interest. Outside, there's a sense of substance and adventure thanks to chunky alloy wheels and curvaceous haunches, but the interior underwhelms on first glance due to its swathes of uninspiring black plastic. However, you soon come to appreciate its stylish touches, including a hi-tech digital dashboard.
Although there's no seven-seat option, families are likely to find the Kadjar a practical car. There's space for three to sit in the rear without clashing shoulders and a useful array of cubbyholes for items needed en route.”
The Telegraph
“There’s an instant feel-good factor when you climb aboard the Kadjar, thanks to the appealing-looking dashboard. It manages to look both classy and inviting at the same time.
What’s more, most of the switches and control knobs have a weighty, well-damped action. There are a couple of cheap-feeling bits of plastic floating about the place, but crucially, they aren’t in areas you’d normally touch.”
WhatCar
“The Renault Kadjar undercuts many of its rivals on costs and CO2 emissions. It's an outstanding option if you’re after a spacious family SUV.”
