Renault has revealed pricing and specification information for the critical Kadjar SUV, which kicks off at $29,990 before on-road costs.
Power in the Kadjar, which is pitched as a rival to the Nissan Qashqai with which it shares its underpinnings, comes from a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine making 117kW and 260Nm. It's mated exclusively with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and feeds the front wheels.
The facelifted Renault Kadjar has been spied again, this time including images of the vehicle's interior – though there's still a heap of camouflage throughout.
Based on the same platform as the Nissan Qashqai, the Kadjar looks set to inherit the French brand's latest family design look, which should bring it more in line with the Megane hatchback and the larger Koleos crossover.
The relatively-new Renault Australia management has put the Kadjar small-SUV back on its radar, preferably in updated guise during 2019.
The Kadjar, which shares its platform with the big-selling Nissan Qashqai, would allow Renault Australia to fill the smaller Captur and larger Koleos in its range.
Given the SUV market's continued growth — it accounts for more of the market than traditional passenger cars — the car would clearly help Renault shift more cars.
