Renault Kadjar 2020 review: Zen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- The Renault Kadjar is a small to mid-size SUV which seems to be a growing category.
I test drove the Kadjar Zen which costs $32,990, before on-road costs. None of the Kadjar range has AWD, so consider them suburban vehicles which also work well as second cars, if you’re done with a regular hatchback.
Here’s how the Kadjar Zen performed in real life with my family of four, for this week’s family review.

Love my kadjar for 2 years now
Enjoyed the video. 👍
wonderful medium SUV and very good specially for Australia
Much better than qushqai
BTW I bought this car and it's average fuel consumption after 2 months is 7,3L/100km. Mixed usage 30% highway, 70% city. I drive dynamically. The car has 160KM engine (more powerful petrol version).
Hi nedahl if possible can u please review korando from SsangYong
I find the car was very interesting
Since I am following your video from the very long time
Thank you
Does Australia not get the Duster?😲
The boot is not smaller than a Qashqai as stated - it is nearly 40 litres larger.
Problem was, Renault Australia decided not to count the under-floor storage, to not cannibalise sales of the Koleos - since the boot of the Kadjar is laughably actually larger than the Koleos. They decided to no longer sell the model this year and replace it with the Arkana. Very sad.
Girl.. you're super cute :) But audio joystick Is actually located behind a wheel. And you didn't say about boot cargo organizer which is one of the main advantages of Renault over its competitors. Over 10L/100km? Petrolhead ;)
Funny, but in Europe the boot space is 470 liters as the cars is longer than the Nissan Qashkai with about 8-10 sm. Check your data before filming.
On the website for Renault Australia Renault themselves are saying that the boot has a volume of 408 litres. So maybe she actually checked? Check it out your self before commeting ;)
Jon Ivar Betten No, he is right. Kadjar petrol has bootspace around 470L.
@@Agnus78 Kadjar diesel too....😏
@@ZerokillerOppel1 I just told about my petrol Kadjar :-)
Great review that concentrates on the things that matter to most people. Got to say though, while it's based on the same platform as the Qashqai the boot is bigger on the Renault not smaller, with 430 and 472 litres respectively. Not sure where you get 408 litres from?
The Ranault Australia website. They are claiming a boot volume of 408 litres. I also thought it sounded a bit odd, so I checked on the website.
@@jib1838 How odd! I wonder if they are not counting the adjustable boot floor? Either way, the boot is definitely bigger in the Renault than it is in the Qashqai..
Have you noticed that some car makers (like the maker of this car) don't bother to make a radio with reversed radio controls for RHD markets. That is why the radio controls were not an easy reach for the driver. The Japanese car makers (Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda...) do bother to make separate radio faces for RHD markets since their home market is RHD.
bigcrowfly. Funny you should say that because my Hyundai LKA (Lane Keeping) in my late model i30PremiumSR here in Melbourne seems (maybe because South Korea is LHD), to prefer the Left Hand Drive LKA in what I reckon all Hyundai's are by default 'set up'. So, I believe that they continue to best apply to Left Hand Drive. So frustrating here in Oz where we have RHD. I've even had my servicing dealer onto that since day one when I became aware that it preferred the far left (curb side) to the centre right [please note that this is not politics I'm taking about]. So Hyundai & maybe KiaI LISTEN HERE! PLEASE change the set up for LHD to the Right Hand Drive countries such as the UK, Japan, Aussie, NZ, & most of the old British Empire lands across the globe, & do it ASAP!
I think the presenter missed audio remote controller (1:22) in the steering column, which has been quite some time in its place. So yes, you have volume control as a button, among few other things.
Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda's primary market is LHD. It is called THE USA.
@@test143000 Re my letsseeif post, I only address Hyundai/Kia, as that's Korean (LHD) & Australia is RHD. Anyway, about a third of the global market is RHD & Nissan, Toyota, Mitsu, & Honda are major players in said market. Long-term-wise, & profit driven, they'll find best leverage if they address this fix ASAP 'cos 1/3 of the world is significant if they want to stay in the profit loop and global game rather than the regional one because regions go up and down whereas the global reach lets one average out.
@@letsseeif wishfull thinking. There is one market outside Korea that is important for Korean brands - The USA. The same for the Japanese carmakers - The USA is number one followed by Japan. Australia is of low priority. Lexus, Acura, Infinity are luxury brands that target the USA. That shows the importance of the USA market for Japanese carmakers.
Does it only run on premium unleaded?
Yes, because it has a petrol particulate filter, and is one of those high-performance small capacity turbo engines. This one was co-developed by Mercedes and Renault. The Kadjar is one of the first and only cars with that emissions-saving device in Australia. It is coming to the new Captur and Arkana as well, the Arkana being the vehicle which replaces the Kadjar in Australia, unfortunately. Terrible decisions made by Renault Australia, I'm almost glad they have been replaced by Ateco.
calls it small suv
says oversized.....right!!!
I don't live in Australia, interesting seeing that a lot of the cars parked up along the road in this video are European, thought Japanese was more popular in Oz
Affluent areas = European cars.
Effluent areas = Rest of the world cars.
Japanese cars are more popular. People who are uninformed buy European cars for the badge. Much more Japanese cars on the road as most Aussies have common sense.
@@THEAC83 what is the view of VW in Australia? I feel they are top dog in Europe only thanks to their reputation. EU buyers tend to think German followed by French followed by Japanese followed by the Italians
@@THEAC83 I doubt most Aussie have common sense looking at the Australian property bubble. Most of the Aussies just don't have a choice but a Japanese car. Despite propaganda about a competitive Australian car market the Australian car market is not loved by carmakers, supplied with limited range, overpriced.
@@livc444111 VW in Australia is considered as nearly a luxury brand.
Big Aus gets small Kadjar rear? Wrong.....rear is bigger in Renault than Nissan
Same as European Kadjar. She just got her facts wrong. But being such a cute woman I forgive her...
Renault Australia misquoted the capacity by not accounting for the under-floor storage, as to not cannibalise sales of the Koleos, since the Kadjar boot is larger than the Koleos. The Kadjar's boot is larger than the Qashqai, Mazda CX-5 (terrible car), and most other small and midsize SUVs.
Since my comment, I've bought a Kadjar. Very, very pleased. Replaced a 2013 Scenic which was the dogs do-da's. Kadjar is better in many ways, but Scenic was more adaptable.
@@peterwoodford2376 I have one too, Zen with TCe 160 petrol engine. It is fantastic value.
Look's to much like the QASHQAI it's made from
It’s just a re-badged Nissan.
It's not actually.
@@68404 They used the same platform as they're the same company group.
Edgar Renje Not only that, but you can see much of the sheetmetal is the same too. There are many interior panels that are the same.
The Koleos and X-Trail have the same relationship.
Nissan have said some future Mitsubishi models will be made that way too.
@@afcgeo882 Actually, none of the exterior panels are the same. Ditto the interior. It does share the same platform, mechanicals and engine though because of the Renault Nissan Alliance. The boy is a bit bigger on the Renault, the technology slightly better on the Nissan (which can be had with pro pilot). Ultimately though it just comes down to which one you like the look of the most.
Tim Blundell Oh okay there, Boomer. I can clearly see the same body shape, wheel arches and some interior components are indeed identical.
This car absolutely sucks!
Care to elaborate on that one? I love driving the Kadjar.
ugly af, boring interior
@@ytlurker220 the great lever is bigger than my leg and it take a much force to change gear and half the time you don't know what gear you just change into. Toyota’s gear is 100 times more comfortable and you always know which gear you are in.
@@SabMusik well, there was no manual transmission ever sold in Australia...
@@incognito8477 at least it undercuts all of the small and midsize SUVs on price with some bargaining. It's 30% cheaper than the Mazda CX-5 or Toyota RAV4 with a similar boot capacity and engine outputs, and superior fuel economy. The interior is well put together and the seats are superior, the infotainment system is good. It's actually great to live with. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I think for a mainstream brand it's far better than the squinty eyed CX-5 or Tucson, and the boxy RAV4, they're incredibly dull and uninspired. And imagine not having rear air vents! Not to mention most of the Asian brands only recently introduced phone mirroring.
over priced and just weird looking.
Big discounts available. Refined styling. It's actually far better than stated in this review, the boot is actually 40 litres larger than the Qashqai, larger than the CX-5's, the 260Nm of torque makes it very punchy, and I'm averaging 6.7L/100km from highway/city driving in a 1:4 ratio.
