Officially NEW 2016, 2017 SUVs Renault Kadjar, Renault Kadjar 2016, 2017 model A practical hatchback with 4x4 looks, the Kadjar is intended to keep Renault firmly in the family car fight When is a Nissan Qashqai not a Nissan Qashqai? When it’s a Renault Kadjar, that’s when. The Qashqai – which has become one of Britain’s favourite family cars – has donated many of its oily bits to this new SUV. Renault has actually been in this sector before, with the Koleos, the company’s first attempt at an SUV. But that was agricultural and ungainly, and proved about as popular as shingles, which is probably why you can’t remember it very well, if at all. Fortunately, the Kadjar is a much more enticing proposition. Neatly styled, and with a handsome interior, it could be just the thing if you want a Qashqai with a dash of Gallic flair. The Kadjar will get power from 1.2 turbo and 1.6 turbo four-cylinder petrol engines, both mated to a six-speed manual or a CVT. The 1.2 turbo has an output of 114hp and 190nm. The 1.6 turbo has an output of 147hp and 240nm. #cars #auto #moto
