Renault Kadjar (2015-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Keenly priced as a used car	Dull to drive
Spacious and practical interior	Bland interior design
Excellent fuel economy	Infotainment system is too fiddly

Quick Summary

The Renault Kadjar (2015-present) is Renault's entry into the small family SUV market, sharing its underpinnings and engine range with the Nissan Qashqai. It boasts a spacious and well-thought-out interior with a large boot (up to 527 litres) and ample room for adults in the back, making it a practical choice for families. While it lacks the versatile sliding rear seats found in some competitors, its overall functionality is strong, though driving dynamics can feel a little soulless, and earlier models exhibited a slightly bouncy ride. Despite some criticisms regarding a clunky infotainment system and interior plastics, the Kadjar offers excellent value on the used market. Fuel economy is a strong suit, with diesel versions achieving around 60mpg and petrols 40-45mpg. Most engines feature a timing chain, reducing long-term maintenance, though the 1.5-litre diesel uses a belt requiring periodic replacement. It stands as a sensible, economical, and value-packed option for those seeking a spacious family car.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a spacious and practical family SUV, buyers prioritising excellent fuel economy and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging driving experience, those who prefer a premium interior with advanced infotainment, or buyers needing versatile sliding rear seats.
