2015 Renault Kadjar Review - autoevolution
Kadjar isn’t a household name in the automotive industry, or any other industry on this planet. After imagining nameplates such as the Captur and Talisman, the time has come for Renault to go one step beyond, so here we are in the presence of the 2015 Renault Kadjar. While softroaders don’t meet most enthusiasts’ criteria for bush-travel vehicles, the general impression that owners of this kind of vehicle are trying to project an outdoorsy image of themselves is still kicking strong. I’ll spare you the gratuitous Google search and let you know Kadjar is a portmanteau of two terms: Kad, which is related to quad as in all-wheel drive. Renault has a dedicated webpage for the model’s name, implying that the Qajar dynasty is another inspiration for this outlandish choice of letters. Now that we know what’s in the Kadjar name, let us carry on and try to put the finger on what the designers did with the exterior and interior of this Chelsea tractor. Made in Spain and assembled with parts sourced from the UK, the 2015 Renault Kadjar seems remarkably similar to the Nissan Qashqai from its side profile. Renault is quick to point out that despite the shared innards, the Kadjar prides itself with about 95 percent of brand-specific parts, those bits and bobs customers come in contact with most of the time.
