Renault has revealed specification and pricing information for the New Renault Kadjar, which sits in the middle of the manufacturer’s three-strong SUV range.

Orders for the new model will open from January 3, with the car featuring a long list of standard equipment including a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen, LED daytime running lights, rear parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, and front fog lights on every model.

The model range is made up of four versions, a reduction from five in the previous generation Kadjar. In addition to the now-familiar Play, Iconic and GT Line trims there is a new model – new Kadjar S-Edition. This style-focused trim sits between Iconic and GT Line and brings features such as interior upholstery that’s unique to this model, as well as redesigned LED headlights, a rear-view camera and a panoramic sunroof; features shared with the generously equipped flagship New Kadjar GT Line.

New Kadjar has a four-strong engine line-up. The new ultramodern TCe 140 and TCe 160 4-cylinder petrol engines were developed by the Alliance in cooperation with Daimler.  

The new Blue dCi diesel engine in 115hp and 150hp forms, gains enhanced power while offering technology that cuts emissions of engine pollutants.

The TCe 140 and dCi 115 power units are available with a choice of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed EDC automatic gearbox, while the TCe 160 is available with a manual gearbox.

At a later date, the dCi 150 engine will be available, exclusively in manual gearbox configuration, and with a choice of two-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Kadjar S-Edition and Kadjar GT Line have all-new LED lights at the front with a development of Renault’s C-shape light signature. Indicators are integrated into the daytime running lights and the fog lights also incorporate LED technology.

The energy consumption of these lights is six times lower than equivalent halogen units. At the rear the indicators also gain LEDs, as do the reversing lights and fog lights, which are now slimmer and are built into the bumper.

The New Kadjar Play has a range of equipment as standard. 17-inch alloy wheels and tinted windows complement the LED daytime running lights and the front fog lights. The headlights are automatic, as are the windscreen wipers. Rear parking sensors make manoeuvring easy.

It also comes with a seven-inch colour infotainment touchscreen, while your smartphone can be connected to the New Kadjar via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Standard equipment includes cruise control and a speed limiter, along with automatic climate control and a synthetic leather steering wheel.

An electronic parking brake, larger cupholders, a sliding armrest and ambient lighting ensure the New Kadjar offers a more luxurious experience than before priced from £20,595 OTR.

New Kadjar Iconic

New Kadjar Iconic builds on the tech-heavy specification of the Play model. The New Kadjar Iconic model includes TomTom Live navigation with Western European mapping and DAB digital radio. This is part of the R-LINK2 infotainment system and includes Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free calls, voice control, and a range of vehicle-focused applications.

The Iconic features both front and rear parking sensors, with a reversing camera to further assist manoeuvring. Folding door mirrors are an added convenience, as is the hands free keycard for automatic door locking and unlocking. On the road technology comes in the form of a lane departure warning that enhances the safety of the New Kadjar.

Externally, the New Kadjar Iconic rides on 19-inch alloy wheels and has extra tinted windows plus a sharkfin DAB radio antenna and roof bars. New rear air vents provide greater comfort to rear seat passengers, as does the provision of two rear USB sockets. New Kadjar Iconic starts from £22,095 OTR.

New Kadjar S-Edition

A new trim to the Renault range, the S-Edition includes all the features from Iconic plus interior upholstery with blue stitching. Full LED ‘Pure Vision’ headlights are standard, and the exterior appearance is further enhanced thanks to the front and rear feature skid plates in light grey. The lower door side protection includes a chrome accent.

On the inside, the car is equipped with a panoramic sunroof and it includes specific upholstery with blue stitching. New Kadjar S-Edition starts from £23,595 OTR.

New Kadjar GT Line

The New Kadjar GT Line sits at the top of the New Kadjar range.

The interior features items that maximise comfort, such as full leather seats and a leather covered steering wheel. The front seats are heated whilst that of the driver includes a cushion extender.

A 360-degree camera set-up makes parking even easier and puddle lamps are a welcome addition when exiting the vehicle at night. The Kadjar GT Line also includes a blind spot warning system and pricing starts from £25,095 OTR.

Engines and gearboxes

A choice of four engines are available, with the New Kadjar Play being offered with TCe 140 petrol and dCi 115 diesel configurations. Both are available with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed EDC automatic gearbox. From New Kadjar Iconic the engine choice increases with the addition of the TCe 160 petrol unit. This engine is available with the six-speed manual gearbox.

New Kadjar GT Line will available with the dCi 150 engine, with a six-speed manual gearbox and with the option of two-wheel or four-wheel drive.

The 1.3-litre TCe engine developed by the Alliance in cooperation with Daimler, was first fitted on the Scénic and Mégane. The four-cylinder, 16-valve unit is fitted with a gasoline particulate filter (GPF).

The Blue dCi engine features, in the New Kadjar, enhanced power and driveability. The eight-valve 1.5-litre Blue dCi 115 has a power increase of 5hp and a torque increase of 10Nm compared with the previous generation unit and it includes Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. All engines meet Euro 6D Temp emission regulations.

¹ Equivalent NEDC value obtained from WLTP figures, aiming to reflect a closer representation of the ‘real-world’ fuel consumption and CO₂ figures. Real world fuel (actual) consumption can vary as the fuel efficiency of a vehicle is influenced by driving behaviour, weather and road conditions. The use of technical equipment for example air conditioning, can also effect the fuel consumption.
