RENAULT KADJAR NAMED BEST MID-SIZE SUV IN AUTO EXPRESS USED CAR AWARDS

Auto Express has crowned the Renault Kadjar the best mid-size SUV in its annual Used Car Awards. The popular family SUV has been on sale since 2015 and received a suite of updates in 2018.

  • The Kadjar was praised for its impressive practicality, offering a large and versatile 472-litre boot and plentiful stowage areas inside the cabin, as well as its affordability thanks to low running costs across the range. Particular praise was given to the frugal 1.5-litre dCi models that are capable of returning more than 60mpg while remaining impressively refined and smooth to drive.

    Inside, the Kadjar was also commended for the material quality, as well as the ease of use and responsiveness of the R-Link infotainment system, contributing to an interior environment that’s quiet and user-friendly.

    Customers purchasing an Approved Used Renault also benefit from driveaway insurance, minimum 12 months warranty, comprehensive history and condition checks, 30-day exchange promise, details of the Renault Accident Support Line and a choice of service plans and accessories to choose from. There’s also 12 months Breakdown Assistance on every Approved Used Renault model.

    A practical family car
    The Kadjar continues to offer practicality and excellent value for new car buyers. Customers can take advantage of a broad range of models including Play, Iconic, S Edition and GT Line, with a choice of punchy yet frugal petrol and diesel engines. Two turbocharged petrol engines are available in TCe 140 and TCe 160 forms, while diesel buyers are well catered for with dCi 115 and dCi 150 variants.

    All Kadjar models come with a seven-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors and alloy wheels, while a panoramic glass sunroof, LED headlamps, 19-inch alloy wheels and Blind Spot Warning are available as you progress through the range.  

    Clever touches throughout the Kadjar’s cabin ensure it’s a practical place as well as a stylish one. Large door bins can carry a
    1.5-litre bottle, an adjustable armrest and large cupholders ensure those in the front can stay comfortable and make full use of the generous storage areas available, while Isofix points and a large, flexible load area round off the complete package.

    Buyers looking to purchase a new Kadjar can take advantage of one of several methods thanks to a comprehensive set of digital tools to help them find the perfect car, including an Online Stock Reservation tool to browse and select from a range of cars immediately available from the comfort of home. Additionally, the Renault Virtual Showroom allows potential buyers to see all of the features available on the Kadjar online thanks to a dedicated guru in a one-to-one appointment, again from the comfort of the sofa.

    A range of tempting offers are available on the new Kadjar, including ‘Drive Now, Pay Later’ that enables customers to get hold of a new car with nothing to pay for the first three months, and with no deposit to put down in the first place – including on the eye-catching Kadjar S Edition TCe 140. Buyers can also opt for ‘Select and Collect’ for contactless collection of their new vehicle.
