Qashqai beater? Renault Kadjar REVIEWED!

Today, Tim explains why he'd prefer the Renault Kadjar over the new Qashqai - even though they're close cousins.
Although the Nissan Qashqai is in its third generation but the Kadjar is based on the same underpinnings of the previous generation Qashqai. This should mean that the Kadjar is an adept family car but it's rarely that simple. Tim Rodie reviews the Renault Kadjar to find out what the differences are and whether it would make a difference to you and your family.
In this review:
• How to pronounce Kadjar
• Interior deep dive
• Practicality
• Trim levels and features
• Boot space
• Infotainment (Android auto /Apple CarPlay)
• Reversing camera

I used to own one of these, a 2017 diesel model. Wasn't bad at all for a family car, but prefer my Focus ST now I don't have to lug a twin pram and baby stuff around!

[@motorpoint]

Glad to know that a twin pram fits. Thank you. How's the Focus ST treating you?

[@geeplaw]

@@motorpoint it’s brilliant to be honest, one of the best cars I’ve had. Superb handling and very rewarding to drive, has to be one of the most fun cars out there!

I have been sleeping in this car when I am travelling around Scotland and Europe for over two years, never fails me" nice to drive, the fuel consumption is great. I had a roof box for more space to keep stuff. You can sleep easily, got a nice double inflatable matress at gooutdoors and all done. Happy with my Kadjar 2019. I will probably change it for the Austral in two years time, I am not in a rush, this car is great!

[@leemuggeridge1392]

It's a shame renault decided to stop production of the Kadjar 😥

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

Surprised anybody actually cared. It was so forgettable

[@ytlurker220]

@@interceptor-ss8kb for a car released in 2015 it was ahead of the curve. Very handsome after the facelift and the most sharply-priced midsize crossover by a fair margin.

[@andrewlaw]

​@interceptor-ss8kb Forgettable in your opinion. Dealers love 'em, they never stick around for long, especially if they're in "fire red" like the model in the video. Sure the screen isn't high definition but the top spec has every conceivable techy extra you'll need and the Bose sound system is an absolute delight.

I've had mine for nearly 3 years. At the price I paid in Melbourne I extremely happy. Nice little turbo 1.3 litre engine. V happy with it.

[@shaunm9928]

Great video Tim - my mate has the new Quashqai and must say it is beautiful all round - so that would be my choice over the Kadjar

[@henrygarcia1087]

Comparing the new model yes, I mean fron 2022 model. But before that kadjar is much better option. And price point is cheaper

[@DianneWithaT]

i have a cybex gazelle s double pushchair and it fits fine with both seats in my Kadjar boot. i can also fit 3 to 4 bag for lifes in at the same time. i have a 1.6 desil automatic and it is pretty loud however the car itself is good.

[@Ben-kp6bp]

I’ve moved house multiple times just using this car putting a big double size bed in boot so it’s definitely a great size

[@user-zi8sz1ww2m]

I have had my 1.3 S for a month. Fkn love it! Love French cars. Had a 307cc S Pug. The seats were out of this world. My Kadjar has glorious seats! Armchairs. No noise, no rattles, solid machine. Feels posh. I hate the way they compare everything to top price competition. The likes of me don't have the money! Second hand, 69 plate, my Kadjar is luxury. The rest can whistle......

[@suertedeti6404]

I boight one of the last produced! 1.3 tce auto 160 cvs. I m single and I though maybe is a family car. But not! I love it! Best car ever for me! Coming from 320d, V50, quasqais and Tucson!❤ Most comfortable car ever 😅😅😊

[@user-zi8sz1ww2m]

I had a friend who was related to the Iranian Royal Family. His surname was Kadjar. Terrible pilot!!😂😂

[@motorpoint]

Would you choose the Renault Kadjar over the Nissan Qashqai? Would you choose something else?

[@geeplaw]

I always liked the Kadjar over the Qashqai, more stylish inside and out, so it’d be the Kadjar for me

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

It's like basically telling the world you're not interested in cars in the slightest. Both are utterly dull as a kitchen appliance and if you own one most people will think your driving a Motability special

[@ytlurker220]

@@interceptor-ss8kb families rarely want a performance car...

[@andrewlaw]

I DID choose it over the Qashqai. Having tried both there's a lot more cabin room in the Kadjar and it's also easier to spell! 😂😂

[@andrewlaw]

​@@interceptor-ss8kbHad performance cars down the years. Not everyone feels the need to show of in their M Sport Beemer or RS Audi. Some of us are secure with our penis size and don't feel the need to willy wave and pay obscene money for servicing spares and insurance. I'll happily stick with my 60mpg and £20 a year road tax thank you.

[@davidmay2073]

GT Line has a Panoramic which is very important Which you forgot to Mention🙄

[@motorpoint]

Apologies for the oversight - Tim

[@user-zi8sz1ww2m]

S has a panoramic roof as well.

[@fkkmag8692]

Ohhhhhh nonono, it’s a great car, I love it and don’t want to trade mine for something else! And it’s apple CarPlay compatible!
