The new Renault - style, escapism and comfort

-

The new Renault Kadjar, everything you need in a SUV.

Robust yet elegant, powerful but extremely efficient, dynamic to drive while remaining a haven of calm and comfort to travel in and packed with the latest safety, infotainme­nt and connectivi­ty systems the all-new Renault Kadjar is set to take the Australian market of mid-sized crossovers by storm.

Renault Australia Managing Director Anouk Poelmann said more than 450,000 people around the world have purchased a Renault Kadjar and now it will grace driveways, streets and highways across Australia

“Starting from $29,990 RRP the Renault Kadjar is designed to be at home in any environmen­t, features a strong visual identity, contempora­ry design with a focus on quality and will sit in the middle of Renault’s three-strong SUV range”, Poelmann said.

Its compact size and command-post visibility make it ideal in busy urban areas; its estate car-like driving position and quiet, comfortabl­e interior ensure the driver remains relaxed and focused on long journeys; and it has everything those owners who want a life of escapism and adventure might need.

The exterior exudes the dynamism and strength of a car built to go off the beaten track, but with more fluid, elegant lines than more boxy SUVs. It features muscular front wings, pronounced rear shoulders, slightly sculpted sides and doors which finish flush with the sills. Sculpted 17- and 19-inch alloy wheels are further evidence of its robust character.

ENGINE FEATURES AT A GLANCE

New Kadjar adopts the 1.3ltr Turbo Charged engine, developed in cooperatio­n with Daimler, this powertrain meets the highest standards in performanc­e and drivabilit­y.

Performanc­e is smooth and vibration-free with the 4-cylinder architectu­re.

The engine also performs well at low revs, with its generous torque.

EXTERIOR FEATURES AT A GLANCE Kadjar’s fluid and elegant lines, wide grille, chrome inserts give the car a strong on-road stance.

At the front Kadjar carries over the Cshape light signature from the Renault range.

It strengthen­s it by integratin­g LED indicators into daytime running lights.

A structured grille, front and rear skid plates, lower door protective mouldings, black wheel arch extensions and anodised satin grey roof bars, emphasise Kadjar’s road presence, but the car’s elegance is also to the fore in the chromed window surround, sill guard and daytime running light surrounds, and the body-colour door handles and mirror housings.

INTERIOR FEATURES AT A GLANCE

The horizontal dashboard has a multimedia touch screen with capacitive technology for a brighter display and greater sensitivit­y.

Measuring 7 inches diagonally, this screen displays the R-LINK 2 system, with the controls on either side.

The screen is flush-mounted for a perfect profile, giving the dashboard a more elegant, unbroken line.

Grab handles on each front door and the centre console and a bold gearlever attest to Kadjar’s sportiness and all-roads character.

ENTERTAINM­ENT FEATURES AT A GLANCE

On New Kadjar, the R-LINK 2 connected multimedia system is both intuitive to use and fully customisab­le.

It includes a smartphone mirroring function, compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and drivers can display their favourite driving-compatible apps directly on the cabin screen for greater safety and more ergonomic use.

The car is also available with a Bose® audio system which delivers concert-hall sound quality for a premium listening experience.

This combinatio­n of sportiness and comfort is also evident in the seats, which have patterned cushions and vertical forms on the backrests.

The seats are backed with dual-density foam for maximum comfort and support. SAFETY FEATURES AT A GLANCE Up-to-the-minute active safety features will help the driver avoid low-speed accidents, stay in lane on highways, park, see in the dark and remain within speed limits.

The entire range is equipped with technology such as front and rear parking sensors, rear parking camera, cruise control with speed limiter, Hill Start Assist, Electric Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Emergency Break Assist (EBA), distance warning and automatic emergency braking (AEBS InterUrban),

Safety features are further enhanced on the Zen and Intens models including side parking sensors, Lane Departure warning (LDW), Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and handsfree keycard with automatic locking and welcome function, and the Intens model also receives easy park assist. CLASS LEADING AFTERSALES

Renault Kadjar owners will be supported by a five-year/unlimited km warranty and Renault Australia’s class leading service interval of 30,000km or 12 month (whichever comes first).

This provides customers with an extremely competitiv­e cost of ownership benefit when compared to competitor­s who offer intervals ranging between 10,000km to 15,000km.

Come and test drive one today at Warragul Renault 167 Queen Street, Warragul.
