Latest Renault Kadjar hits Irish roads


Since it first launched in late 2015, the Renault Kadjar compact SUV has sold over 5,700 models here, writes Trish Whelan.

Now, the new facelift model has arrived on Irish roads priced from €26,995.

The exterior has been given a more sleek look with the body coloured area of the front and rear bumpers now larger lending a more premium feel. The grille is wider and the C-Shaped LED lights now incorporate the front indicator. Customers can choose from 17- and 19-inch wheels and from three new colours: Oural Green, Iron Blue, and Highland Grey.

The interior has also been redesigned with the dashboard getting a more elegant, unbroken line. Seats come with dual density foam providing improved support for driver and passengers and also now feature a cushion extender. A new 7-inch multimedia touch screen gives a brighter display and greater sensitivity. 

There’s a new control panel for the automatic air conditioning; other additions include bigger cup holders, bigger front door bins and two rear USB sockets.

Efficient new petrol and diesel engines are fitted across the range. They include a new 1.3TCe 140 GPF petrol engine available with 6-speed manual or 7-speed EDC automatic gearbox options. The manual-only TC3 160 offers the highest power output ever for a Kadjar and should appeal to customers looking to change from diesel back to petrol. Engines also feature an upgraded 1.5 Blue dCi 115, more powerful than before but still the most economical engine in the line-up. The new 1.7 Blue dCi engine is now available with 150hp and comes in 4x2 and 4x4. 

Trims are Play, Iconic, S-Edition and GT-Line.

The entry level trim features 17-inch alloy wheels, dual climate control, parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, 7-inch touchscreen and Android and Apple Car Play (€26,995-€31,295). 

The Iconic gets cruise control and speed limiter, parking camera, keyless entry/start, navigation and privacy glass while the new sporty S-Edition adds a half leather interior, panoramic roof, LED/Xenon lights. From €31,395 for the petrol version (€29,695-33,995). 

The top GT-Line adds a touch of luxury with leather seats, full LED lights, hands-free parking and 360 sensors; blind spot warning. (€33,995-€39,995).

Review: Renault Megane RS

This car offers pure performance for people who love to drive, writes Trish Whelan . Renault's Megane RS C-segment hot hatch lives up to its promise of offering exhillerating driving. It can be a right howl to drive, or a well-mannered everyday car.   But performance is the reason customers would want to buy a motor like this, and Renault have a long standing involvement in topflight motorsport and this third generation of the model is packed full of Renault Sport expertise and passion.   My press car dazzled in its Volcanic Orange exterior paintwork that attracted appreciative, and envious looks wherever I drove it. And naturally I loved to show it off. The stand out colour and special engine sound from a new version of the 1.8 direct injection turbo petrol engine delivering a sizzling 276bhp and 390Nm of torque, which blasts it from 0-100km/h in just 5.8 seconds, certainly turned heads during my time with this very special Megane variant from Renault S...

The car comes with petrol engines in 180hp and 225hp versions and diesels with 130hp. 160hp and 180hp outputs. There are four grades available including a GT version flagship. Other than a manual 6-speed available with the 130hp diesel, all versions have an 8-speed automatic. The car is a liftback coupe format, and an estate version is due in the autumn. Its interior features the Peugeot i-cockpit design with the instruments visible over the top of the small steering wheel. In a deliberate policy, the 508 has no badges identifying which fuel type it uses, and only the exhaust tailpipe design indicates it. This will apply to all Peugeot models in the future, including Low Emission (LEV) versions. Colin Sheridan of Peugeot Ireland said the brand intends to continue its investment in improving diesel and petrol engines as well as adding LEV solut...
