Stable and precise handling

Cons
Smaller cargo area compared to most competitors
Wallet-friendly base L trim is special-order only
The base engine doesn't feel very lively

Driver-assistance features find their way to the standard features list on the 2020 Equinox: automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beam headlamps—all previously optional—are now on all models. Further to that point, adaptive cruise control is now included in the optional Driver Confidence II package. Elsewhere in the lineup, a Midnight Edition package is new on LT models which blacks out just about everything that can be blacked out, including the Chevy bow-tie logos. The 1.6-liter turbo-diesel engine is no longer available.

Pros
Spry driving demeanor, relatively efficient for an SUV, plenty of space for people and cargo.

Cons
Base engine lacks power, infotainment display is tilted too far back, high price among compact SUVs.

The Renault Kadjar is a spacious family SUV that’s perfect for the family – it just isn’t that exciting inside and is pretty dull to drive.The Renault Kadjar is a large family car that looks smart, is cheap to run and comes with a fairly big boot. It sits above the Renault Captur but below the Renault Koleos in terms of size in Renault’s SUV range.

Pros
Big boot
Spacious cabin
Frugal engines

Cons
Drab interior
Entry-level models quite basic
Less comfortable than a Qashqai

By:

The Kadjar is a crucial car for Renault because it has to do battle in the mid-sized crossover arena.

Pros
Comfy if you go for small wheels,
Decent room for your money,
Improved engines

Cons
Dull to drive,
Unhelpful touchscreen
