Renault’s second crossover car

We had taster details of the new Renault crossover — the curiously named Kadjar — in these pages recently, but the French firm has now revealed more about it ahead of its launch at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.

Perhaps spurred into action by the massive success of the Nissan Qashqai, Renault is now dipping its corporate toe into the tricky waters of the C-segment.

Renault says it was buoyed by the success of the Captur and is continuing its offensive in the crossover segment with the Kadjar. If it is a success in this growing market, it will boost Renault’s global ambitions.
