Power by engine variant (Norway)
103 Renault Kadjar cars registered for the first time in Norway in 2019–2022, by drivetrain and type-approved engine power. The EEA data has no trim names, so variants are told apart by power.
| Drivetrain | Power | Kerb weight | Years | Registered in Norway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 96 kW (129 hp) | 1,385 kg | 2019 | 19 |
| Petrol | 103 kW (138 hp) | 1,427 kg | 2019–2022 | 44 |
| Petrol | 117 kW (157 hp) | 1,437 kg | 2019–2020 | 24 |
| Diesel | 96 kW (129 hp) | 1,611 kg | 2019 | 14 |
Plus 1 variant with fewer than 10 cars (2 cars in total).
Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the combustion engine, not the system output; for electric cars it can differ from the peak power in the maker’s marketing. Kerb weight is the average for the variant. Source: EEA CO₂ monitoring (CC BY 4.0), one record per car (the years EEA lists twice, 2019 to 2021, are counted once).
