- For: Efficient engines, standard kit, finance deals
- Against: Lack of rear space, dull to drive, new version imminent
- Verdict: The best version of the Nissan Qashqai
Even with its replacement due soon, the Renault Kadjar is a great value SUV, with prices starting from around £25,000.
For that, you get 17-inch alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control, automatic lights and wipers, a seven-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Upgrading to Iconic adds an improved media system, 19-inch diamond-cut alloys, a suite of driver assistance systems, leather seats and keyless entry. S Edition and GT Line models complete the range.
Two- and four-wheel-drive variants are available, along with four engines: two 1.3-litre petrol (140hp and 160hp), a 115hp 1.5 diesel and a 150hp 1.7 diesel.
Strong points include the efficient engines, a comfortable and composed ride, plus an excellent level of standard kit.
It’s let down by some cheap interior plastics, a relatively small boot and cramped rear accommodation.
It’s hardly the last word in excitement, but keep an eye out for some competitive PCP deals.
