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 is a spacious and practical family SUV that shares its underpinnings with the Nissan Qashqai. Every model offers a generous 527-litre boot and comfortable seating for five, with well-thought-out storage solutions throughout. The interior is functional rather than inspiring, with a somewhat bland design and a fiddly infotainment system that lacks the refinement of its best rivals. However, the Kadjar's tempting value proposition and excellent fuel economy make it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers prioritising practicality over driving engagement.

The engine range has evolved over the years, starting with turbocharged 1.5-litre and 1.6-litre diesels and a 1.2-litre petrol, with a 1.6-litre petrol turbo added in 2017. A 2018 overhaul introduced two 1.3-litre petrols. Fuel economy is impressive, with diesel versions achieving around 60mpg and petrol models delivering 40-45mpg in real-world driving. Running costs are low thanks to efficient engines, reasonable servicing costs (£169 for minor, £269 for full service), and most models featuring timing chains. Tax is particularly attractive on pre-April 2017 models, with some versions costing just £20 annually.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, practical family SUV with low running costs and excellent value for money.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising engaging driving dynamics, premium interior quality, or intuitive infotainment systems.
