Renault Kadjar

The Renault Kadjar, which made its Asian debut at the Shanghai auto show, offers an excellent driving experience both in urban areas and when exploring the great outdoors.

The all-new global model will also be the first Dongfeng Renault product to be localized in China's Hubei province in 2016.

The C-segment crossover is built on the Renult-Nissan Common Module platform which has been producing the Nissan Qashqai. It boasts sophisticated versatility and an athletic profile, and can easily switch between the front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive modes.

The 4,450-mm long, 1,840-mm wide Kadjar consumes less fuel and emits less carbon dioxide than its segment peers, according to the company.

The car is equipped with Renault's latest R-Link 2 multi-media infotainment system, functioning voice control, navigation, Bluetooth and radio. It also has engine stop-start, emergency brake assist, lane departure warning and road-sign recognition with speed limit alerts, 360-degree sensors, a reversing camera and a hands-free parking system.

The French carmaker said the name Kadjar is a combination of "kad" and "jar". "Kad" is inspired by "quad", which represents a go-anywhere four-wheel-drive, while "jar" represents agility and suddenly emerging from somewhere.
