Hatchbacks, SUVs, hybrids, electric cars: Renault makes them all, in a variety of shapes and sizes, meaning&nbsp;it has a line-up designed to tempt pretty much everyone.

From the roadside, the standout feature of all its cars is design, with them instantly recognisable as members of the Renault family, without being so similar that they fall&nbsp;into the Russian doll trap. However, in terms of ability they're a mixed bag,&nbsp;ranging&nbsp;from very good to no better than average.

Models that fall into the former camp include the Clio small hatchback and Megane E-Tech electric car, while the smaller Zoe electric car is also impressive in most respects; it's just a pity Renault omits key safety kit.

On the other hand, the Captur, Arkana and Austral SUVs are all outclassed by several rivals.

Renault has some exciting new models planned, including a new Scenic (this time it will be an electric SUV instead of a conventionally powered MPV) and two cars that reimagine classic Renaults: the 4 and 5.

RENAULT

KADJAR

The Renault Kadjar is the latest model to join the growing SUV segment, and it is by far from the first. Rather than being a totally new venture, Renault has made full use of its alliance with Nissan and the Kadjar features a lot of technology from the successful and popular Nissan Qashqai. However, Renault says that everything you can see on the surface of the Kadjar is new and different. To see whether potential buyers could tell the difference and whether they reckoned the Kadjar is worthy of consideration in a competitive class, we asked a team of What Car? readers to come and take a look at the new car. See what they made of the Kadjar in our exclusive reader test team video:
