Kadjar, a global model in line with Renault's international ambitions

In 2014, almost one in every five vehicles sold across the world was a crossover, with the segment enjoying a market share of 23 % in Europe and 26 % in China. The segment consequently represents a real entry point to the key growth markets targeted by the group.

That's why after Captur and Koleos, Renault maintains its offensive in this international segment, with Kadjar, a C-segment model.

Kadjar will be manufactured at Renault's Spanish plant in Palencia, and will go on sales this summer in Europe, followed by the majority of the Mediterranean countries and north Africa.

The new crossover is also poised to spearhead the Renault Group's offensive in China. Kadjar will be the first vehicle manufactured in the Dongfeng Renault plant in Wuhan.

A new style for the crossover market

The big brother to the Captur brings a new proposition to the crossover market through its unique design which marks a break from the segment's current trends. The Renault Kadjar combines a bold personality with seductive appeal.

Its strong personality is highlighted by :

Its compact footprint (4.45 metres long x 1.84 metres wide) and a low roofline (1.60 m)
