The Renault Kadjar will be launched in South Africa on Thursday and we look forward to driving this crossover and seeing which of the models will be on offer here. In the meantime, Renault in the UK let us know that they’ve added a new top-of-the-range Signature S Nav model to its Kadjar UK range.

There has also been the introduction of  the 7-speed efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) gearbox option with the models making use of the ENERGY TCe 130 engine.

The new ‘Signature S Nav’ trim is based on the already well-equipped Signature Nav, and adds full black leather upholstery (with electrically-adjustable driver’s seat height and heated front seats), a rear parking camera, blind spot warning and hands-free parking.

Standard features range from the panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, and hands free keycard to the heated and folding door mirrors, R-Link 2 system with a 7″ screen, TomTom LIVE services , Bluetooth, hands-free calls and a BOSE sound system.

 

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
