LONDON: Renault Kadjar like its posh Brit equivalents, Renault’s C-segment crossover hasn’t actually shown its face yet.
Renault is promising an active social media campaign in the lead up to February 2 one week today when the Kadjar shows its face completely, prior to heading up Renault’s stand at the Geneva motor show in March.
Given how old the Megane is it’s unlikely to be much related to that, instead heralding a new styling direction. Renault’s most recent crossover concept is the Kwid, above. While it’s titchy in size – and quite barmy in some its features -there’s a chance some of its elements may transfer to a larger car.
Engines are likely tobe similar to those in the Qashqai, Renault being friends with Nissan, don’t forget. So the choice of a 1.2-litre turbo petrol or 1.5-litre turbodiesel, with optional four-wheel drive on higher spec models seems a good guess. Though much more should become apparent next week.
What do fans reckon to ‘Kadjar’, then? Too quirky? Or is oddness infinitely preferable to an unimaginative letter and number configuration?
