Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

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

Decent room for your money,
Improved engines

Dull to drive,
Unhelpful touchscreen
