Renault is boosting its Kadjar crossover range with the funky, limited-edition XP model.
The XP joins the Kadjar family, which has been on sale since April last year and has been a big hit for the French carmaker.
The XP limited edition version comes with Renault’s 1,2-litre turbopetrol engine and a six-speed manual gearbox. It is based on the original Expression model but comes with R40 000 of extra goodies.
Its range of features include 17-inch alloy wheels, cornering fog lights, a swan neck towbar kit, side steps and roof racks, as well as a multimedia system with a Bluetooth connection, a digital instrument cluster, cruise control and air conditioning.
The interior finish is also top-notch with impressive detailing such as elegant double topstitching to the dashboard with a chrome finish, creating an onboard environment that is stylish and refined.
Interior space is good as the Kadjar offers a very generous 370 litres of boot space.
What’s more is that there are additional 30 litres of useful storage space found between the doors, in the glove box and central armrest, as well as storage pockets located behind the two front seats.
Like its competitors such as the Nissan Qashqai, the Kadjar has proper SUV credentials with a high riding position thanks to its impressive 200mm height off the ground – and that’s great news on our potholed roads.
The French carmaker claimed that the XP’s turbopetrol engine has an average fuel consumption figure of just 5,7 litres every 100km in a combined mix of stop-start city driving and open road cruising.
There is no doubt that the Kadjar is a safe choice too as it comes with all the tried-and-tested and latest safety features a modern crossover needs. For example, there are up to six airbags and of course ABS.
As with all models in the Kadjar line-up, the newcomer comes standard with a five-year/150 000km mechanical warranty and a five-year/90 000km service plan.
Whether you are on the road or off the road, you’re assured of a comfortable and luxurious experience behind the wheel of the Renault Kadjar.
