A mysterious Renault prototype was spotted in a
frozen car park wearing the bodyshell of the Kadjar SUV. This a testbed for the next-generation Kadjar but something
tells us that it might not be the case.
The test mule appears to have wider tracks than the
current Kadjar, making use of plastic fenders on the huge wheel wells. The lack
of an exhaust coming out from the back might lead some people into assuming
that this is an electric prototype, but look closely on the image showing the
rear floor and you’ll see that the car does have an exhaust fitted just in
front of the rear axle.
The same shot reveals that the test mule was
equipped with a rear-wheel steering system, a feature that Renault is using in
current models like the Talisman and the Megane RS. The French automaker is
planning to use the feature on more models in the future, which makes sense as
it will give them an advantage in terms of handling and maneuverability.
Whatever Renault’s plan with this mule is, we’ll be
following them closely to find out more information so stay tuned.
