Real-world fuel consumption
15,591 Renault Kadjar cars and vans registered in Europe between 2021 and 2023 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 7.6 l/100 km on the road, against 6.3 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 22% more.
| Fuel | Vehicles | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 11,738 | 7.6 | 6.3 | +22% |
| Diesel | 3,659 | 5.9 | 5.1 | +14% |
| Diesel van | 194 | 6.1 | 5.1 | +19% |
Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the petrol Renault Kadjar uses 7.6 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,150 litres: €2,554 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.
| Country | Petrol | Diesel |

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Kadjar in 10 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The child safety lock on the rear doors could come loose unnoticed, as a result of which the rear doors could be opened from the inside, increasing the risk of an accident. No information
The catalytic converter does not function properly.As a result it does not does not sufficiently filter the Nitrogen oxide (NOx) gasses emitted by the vehicle.Nitrogen oxides are harmful to human health and the environment.
Capacitors may crack under mechanical stress of the electronic board and overheat. This could lead to a malfunction of the engine cooling fan assembly, increasing the risk of a fire.
Due to a problem with the airbag control module, the airbag may fail to deploy, or deploy incorrectly, in the event of an accident.
The mixture ratio of the ignition chemicals in the inflators for the window airbags is not correct. This could prevent the window airbags from inflating in the event of an accident.
Due to a calibration error in the engine management controller, the after-treatment system for nitrogen oxides (NOx) is progressively saturated with sulphur. This leads to bad functioning of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) trap, reducing its efficiency in decontamin…
In the event of an impact, the curtain airbags may not deploy correctly.
A possible lack of welding points on the rear side members may, in the event of a collision, affect the strength of the side members. Consequently, fatigue strength, collision resistance and anchoring of the rear safety belts may be affected.
In case of an accident, the thorax airbag and the curtain airbag can fail to deploy, or their functioning can be reversed in case of a lateral shock.
The drive rotor of the vacuum pump could break, leading to the immediate stop of the vacuum pump and consequent loss of braking assistance and loss of engine power.
