Yup, it"s finally Renault"s turn to have a go at the family crossover. But this big-badged contender, the Kadjar is more than a Qashqai rival. Because Renault and Nissan are alliance bedfellows, the Kadjar is, in fact, heavily based on Nissan"s genre-defining tall hatch. Same engines, similar cabin, but bigger and cheaper. In this value-for-money rules segment, this stuff puts the Kadjar into the lead.Speaking of cheaper", the Kadjar is certainly spec-for-spec a lot less dear than the Honda HR-V, but Hondas do have a habit of clawing that back with a greater depth of engineering. The HR-V"s actually based on, and shares many bits with, the Jazz mini-MPV. So if you like, the HR-V is a Jazz for people who wouldn"t be seen dead in a Jazz.Photography by Mark Riccioni
