Thanks AOne, there was an article in this week's Auto Expresss with a few pics but your attached pdf gives us more info. I was slightly disappointed when seeing the first pics, I was hard pressed to see much difference to the actual model, but after studying the pdf I could see where Renault were coming from. Some of the improvements I could do without but others, larger door bins for example, are needed. The new 1.3 engines are the main positives. 240 or 260 Nm of Torque as opposed to 205 and allegedly better fuel consumption is good news. The pictures they have released is more than likely of the top of the range 1.7 Diesel with 4WD. We'll have to see what the lesser specs have to make do with. Thanks again.

Thanks. There is already an avalanche of new info around.

What I like or not in the facelift:
- The rear exterior is way cooler than before. The front is not. Don't like the new fog lights. 
- I guess, the windows switches are already illuminated and all impulse driven, as they "are redesigned".
- The RLink looks the same, but beside a glazed whole screen. Already imagining how it's easily scratched only by looking at it an the sun blindens you when driving north-east . All the buttons and volume control are touch screen, wich requires MUCH more attention when operating. Not good.
- Notice the new "shark like" antenna. It was about time.
- Blinkers integrated with DRL LEDs (white leds blink yellow). Really like that, though it comes few years late.
- The new 1.7 dci engine and its 150 hp sound cool. The petrols are also pumped up.
- Illuminated compartment infront lever gear. Nice idea.
- New vents and USB ports in the rear of the central console. Also a good one.

What's your thoughts?

Yes, I agree, the rear looks good. I wonder if the 2WD cars come with front and rear splitter. The car is the video is definitely the top of the range 4WD, I can't wait until the specs are announced.

i like the new petrol moter, 1,340cc with 140 and 160 hp and with 24 and 27NM
The rear exterior is much better than before. The front is not. Don't like the new fog lights. 

I see that the new 1.3 petrol engine has a particle filter when in the Kadjar. I wonder if that rules it out for low-mileage town-based drivers like us?
