Renault's answer to the Qashqai isn't going to pull on your heartstrings, but it does all that you'd want it to do and at a great price ‘'Blimey, that’s a massive Renault badge, and what the heck is the name all about?'’ are likely to be the first things to cross your mind when you see the new Renault Kadjar. If you really want to know, the name is actually a messy chopping and merging of the words quad and jaillir, which means ‘to emerge quickly’ in French.Nope, we’re none the wiser, either, but once you’ve got over the weird name (and everybody got over Qashqai eventually), the Kadjar has lots of promise. Based on the same platform as the Qashqai, the Kadjar is available with a 129bhp 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol, a 109bhp 1.5-litre diesel or a 128bhp 1.6-litre diesel, the latter of which can be had with four-wheel drive.It’s priced to undercut key competition, particularly given the generous spec that includes sat-nav and a colour touchscreen, so it’s primed to take on the big-selling family SUVs, like the Nissan, Kia Sportage and VW Tiguan. In fact, going by the list price you’ll pay more than £2000 less for a Kadjar with sat-nav than you will for a similarly equipped Nissan Qashqai.
