The Renault Kadjar is about to hit the European market, where it will go up against the Nissan Qashqai and rivals from Toyota, Ford, Mazda or the PSA group. The Kadjar is strongly styled and has strong engines, but will it be enough to steer buyers towards it over competitors?

Well, WhatCar? asked its readers what they though of it and whether they’d buy it or not.

The general impression is one of outright style, with some readers noting that the Kadjar looks like its designers actually tried harder than, say, on its Qashqai brother.

If Renault gets the formula right for its larger SUV, and infuses it with enough new Espace-ness, then the premium vehicles in the same size segment will start to look questionably expensive compared to it.
