ALL-NEW RENAULT KADJAR WINS BEST
CROSSOVER AT NEXT GREEN CAR AWARDS
Only two months after launching in the
UK, the All-New Renault KADJAR picked
up its first piece of silverware, after
collecting Best Crossover at the Next
Green Car Awards.
The brand-new, family-sized crossover
won the environmental prize after
overcoming opposition from rivals,
including the Fiat 500X 1.6 MultiJet II,
