The mid-size crossover Renault Qajar has proven itself very well in the automotive market. Stylish design, modern technology and an inexpensive price tag for the bundle. For the first time they started talking about the new Renault Kadjar on March 3, 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show. In the same spring, in April, the production and sale of new items in Europe started.
An updated version of Renault Qajar was presented in October 2018 at the Paris Motor Show. In addition to the modified exterior and interior, the new crossover has received updated power units and dynamic characteristics. Among the engines, one gasoline and two diesel ones are available. The transmission can be a mechanical or automatic transmission. The main plus of the new Renault Qajar is that the drive can be front or full (only diesel equipment), since competitors have begun to save significantly at this point.
Dimensions and Weight Renault Kadjar
The Renault Kadjar crossover is medium in size and is quite suitable for fans of this class with all-wheel drive. Despite the restyled version, presented recently, the external dimensions of the car have not changed.

There are actually two diesel units for the new Renault Qajar, but the manufacturer says that there are 3, since there are variations with mechanics and automatic transmission. The very presence of a diesel engine is already a plus, since the buyer has plenty to choose from.

In all likelihood, special improvements in terms of technical characteristics of Renault Qajar should not be expected. The manufacturer did not deviate from the accepted norms by presenting diesel and gasoline units. A huge plus is that in addition to the front-wheel drive version, there is also an all-wheel drive version.
Braking system and suspension Kadjar
The basis for the updated Renault Kadjar crossover was the CMF platform, which is similar to that installed on the Japanese Nissan Qashqai. For the front-wheel drive configuration of the crossover, an independent suspension with MacPherson struts is installed in the front, and a semi-independent suspension with a beam at the rear. If we consider the all-wheel drive version, then here is a fully independent suspension. Front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension.
Regarding the braking system of the Renault Qajar crossover, there is only one variation, regardless of the selected configuration. Ventilated disc brakes are installed at the front, and conventional disc brakes at the rear. A huge plus that the manufacturer has eliminated drum brakes, thereby showing progress in performance. Following the modified brakes, the designers have updated the rims. According to the standard, they suggest installing light-alloy 16 "with tires 215/65, as an option or for top versions, 17" (215/60), 18 "(215/55), 19" (225/45) are available.
Optics of the new Qajar crossover
As already mentioned, the updated Renault Qajar crossover has received significant changes to the front end. Improvement fell on the front optics of the crossover. The headlights of the car have become significantly better, the designers have added anger, passion and a special character, which was previously lacked so much.
This time, the designers have combined the chrome edging of the optics with a black background and modern technology. To add to the anger, LED daytime running lights were added along the contour, the central part was decorated with rectangular lenses with the function of turning lights or pedestrians on the sidelines. It should be noted that all optics are fully LED. The hind feet are also based on LED technology and in the top version they received dynamic lighting. Similar to the optics, all the lighting of the Renault Kadjar 2019 crossover is LED, which has reduced power consumption.
Prices and configurations Renault Qajar 2019
Since the officially updated Renault Kadjar 2019 crossover has not yet been presented in Russia, you can judge how it will be in neighboring countries. Often, the configuration for the Russian Federation does not differ much, in the same way as the price policy. The manufacturer promised to establish official deliveries in the first half of 2020. According to reliable information, today the buyer is offered 4 basic configurations, if we take into account the subspecies, then a total of 8 variations will turn out.

It can be seen that the buyer of the updated Renault Kadjar was offered a mechanical transmission and two types of automatic. As for the configurations of the crossover, the differences are not only in technical characteristics, but also in equipment. Thanks to the installation of modern technologies, active safety and comfort systems, as well as a couple of driver assistants, were installed on board the novelty.
In total, the new Qajar crossover has become better in terms of technical and dynamic characteristics. The suspension, noise and vibration isolation have also improved. The question remains whether the manufacturer will produce an electric or hybrid version of this model.Many manufacturers are trying to bring to the market at least one hybrid for each car model.
