The Renault Kardian is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment), unveiled by Renault on October 25, 2023. It will be manufactured in Curitiba, Brazil for the South American market, with future plans for production in Casablanca, Morocco.
Overview
The model is built on the CMF architecture, being related to the third generation Dacia Sandero, with which it shares many elements.
Powertrain
A new flexfuel engine debuts, an evolution of the 1.0 TCe found on the Sandero. For the first time, this engine can be equipped with an all-new dual-clutch automatic transmission (codename DW23), which is due to be available in Europe with the launch of the third-generation Duster, scheduled for spring 2024.
Design
During the presentation of the model, Gilles Vidal, the design director, emphasized that the Kardian was the result of joint work between the Renault styling teams in France and Brazil.
