Renault Kadjar 2018 vs Lexus UX 2018
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.5 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Renault Kadjar) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Lexus UX) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 116 HP | 171 HP | |
| Torque: | 260 NM | 205 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.9 seconds | 9.2 seconds | |
|
Lexus UX is a more dynamic driving. Renault Kadjar engine produces 55 HP less power than Lexus UX, but torque is 55 NM more than Lexus UX. Due to the lower power, Renault Kadjar reaches 100 km/h speed 2.7 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | no data | 5.8 | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 55 litres | 47 litres | |
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 200 mm (7.9 inches) | 160 mm (6.3 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Renault Kadjar can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Renault Kadjar version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 14 years | 8 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 16 other car models, including Nissan Qashqai, Renault Scenic, Renault Megane, Dacia Duster | Used also on Toyota RAV4 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Renault Kadjar might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Lexus UX engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Renault Kadjar 2018 1.5 engine: The engine has undergone numerous modifications and is relatively commonplace, with a plentiful supply of spare parts. It exhibits an optimal fuel consumption/power ratio. However, the fuel injection system ... More about Renault Kadjar 2018 1.5 engine | |||
