Renault Kadjar (2015 - 2022) 1.5 dCi Dynamique S Nav 5d Owner Review

1.5 dCi Dynamique S Nav 5d

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Love this car, so much so that my wife replaced her VW golf with one ( the golf was more unreliable due to injector issues) only had one issue with its fuel line being slightly blocked which was fixed for free under warranty. Wife's car has had two issues an air conditioning leak and an issue with the door sensor driver's side. Watch when closing front doors as it is easy to catch seatbelt in door. Very comfortable to drive, mpg and performance reasonable, I have the 1.5 dCi engine. Eco button was never really used.. can be a bit noisy and harsher ride with the bigger alloys, my wife has the smaller ones on her car for comparison. Dynamic S adds part leather seats, bigger alloys, slightly different central cubby hole and more adjustment on front seats than the Dynamic. Only real negative I have is the Sat Nav is out dated, I live in Ireland and it doesn't have the (now 5 year old) motorway in it so it looks like I am driving at 120kph through some fields at times. Other thing I noticed was the traffic sign detection would occasionally pick up slip road speed signs on the motorway and warn you that you are speeding but you can switch the audible alarm off for this and just have either the visual signs on console and dash or disable altogether. I like the car so much I am replacing with a brand new one next week.

How reliable do you find the car?

Had one issue with fuel line blockage which was fixed under manufacturers warranty by garage.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

One of the most comfortable cars I have owned. Long drives are dispatched with ease.
