Kadjar: Renault's new crossover

By CARSIFU | 26 January 2015


PARIS: Renault will be introducing its first C-segment crossover called Kadjar ahead of its unveiling on Feb 2.

The car maker will be promoting the model on social media from today, and new photos and videos will be posted daily before the wraps come off next month. It is certain to go on display at the March 5-15 Geneva Motor Show.

The sound and spelling of the name have an exotic feel which suggests adventure and discovering new horizons. The initial letter ‘K’ is indicative of the model’s robustness and the Kadjar fits with Renault’s existing B-segment crossover – Captur.

Kadjar is built around KAD- and -JAR. KAD- is inspired by ‘quad’ – representing a go-anywhere four-wheeled vehicle and -JAR recalls the French words ‘agile’ and ‘jaillir’ representing agility and suddenly emerging from somewhere.
