Kadjar handed a new lease of life

Renault’s updated Kadjar SUV has gone on sale ahead of deliveries next month, the brand has announced. The model gets a refreshed trim structure with two new specifications called Equilibre and Techno.

Both models come with a 138bhp petrol engine that gets up to

44.1mpg.

The range starts with Equilibre, which Renault says has been designed to offer a balanced specification across comfort, driving experience and style.

Standard equipment includes a seven-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as cruise control, front and rear parking sensors with reversing camera, and automatic wipers and headlights.

Other equipment found on this model includes 17-inch alloy wheels, tinted rear windows, chrome styling parts, synthetic leather steering wheel, and automatic dual-zone climate control. Prices for this model start at £25,595 with a six-speed manual gearbox or £27,195 with an automatic.

Step up to the Techno grade and you get 19-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlights with LED turn indicators and fog lights, automatic high-beam, black synthetic leather and cloth upholstery and an active emergency braking system.

These models start at £27,195 for the manual and £28,795 in the automatic.

These two trims are currently the only specifications available on the Kadjar, and Renault says they will be introduced across more models in its range.

The updated trim levels are aimed at giving the Kadjar a new lease of life ahead of its replacement next year. The new model will be called Astral and will have combustion engines, but is expected to get electrified powertrains too.

The newly updated Renault Kadjar is now available to order from £25,595
