Seen a few on the road, it is a pretty vehicle, but I say again, R500k for a 1.6 Turbo diesel. No, just no.
 
Another SA car ad pulled: Renault taken to task over fine print

South Africa - Earlier in August, Wheels24 reported on a complaint lodged against Ford by the Advertising Standards Agency of SA (ASA) due to false fuel claims for its Kuga SUV.

Anther automaker has been taken to task this time due to the font size in a local TV ad.

The complainant, a 'Mr Cillie', believes the text used in a Renault Kadjar TV ad is too small and isn't visible on the screen long enough to actually read the fine print.

ASA reports that the commercial was shown on DSTV, channel 144, at the end of June 2016.

The problem

At the end of the commercial, a voice-over says, "The new Renault Kadjar. Dare to live” and the screen displays the price as "From only R4 999PM” in large, white lettering, whereas the information that follows is tiny in comparison and displayed for approximately three seconds.

According to the ASA: "With 10% deposit l Over 72 months l 35% balloon payment l 10.35% interest rate l Retail price of R364 900 l Total cost of R482 399 l Retail price in accordance with 1 June 2016 price list. Price excludes 'on-the-road-costs'. Costs inclusive of initiation fee of R1 197 and excludes monthly service fee (R68.40) l Terms and Conditions apply l Features are model-specific and may vary l Deal is subject to credit approval terms and conditions of Renault Financial Services.

Response

Renault SA submitted that while it has used the same format in the past few years without complaint, it is "cognisant of the complainant’s view, and sensitive to his concerns". The commercial is currently off air but it is in the process of "ensuring that all future advertising carrying a financial offer will have an additional frame to allow more prominence to the terms of the offer", reports the ASA.

Wheels24 has contacted Renault South Africa. We will publish the automaker's response in a follow-up article.

ASA ruling

ASA said:" The suggested remedy appears to address the complaint, provided that it is done within the confines and parameters dictated by the Code.

"The respondent’s submission confirms that the commercial in its current format will not be used again in future, which addresses the complainant’s concerns, and allows the Directorate to accept this without interrogating the merits of the matter."

"At a list price of R399 900, you can expect to pay a little more as dealers will likely have specced metallic paint (R2500) and potentially leather/electric/heated front seats for R12 000. Again, at R10 000 more than the manual Dynamique model, we think that the automatic Kadjar is the one to have. If you are interested in a Kadjar, it's definitely worth shopping around - we found at least one dealer in the Western Cape region offering R30 000 cash back on the Kadjar, which makes it a lot more appealing."

Renault Kadjar XP edition gains kit worth R40 000

Renault South Africa has added a special edition model to its local range, dubbing the newcomer the Kadjar XP Limited Edition.

The XP Limited Edition derivative is based on the 96 kW 1,2 Turbo Expression model, fitted with a six-speed manual transmission. But the new variant features an accessory pack comprising 17-inch alloys, cornering fog-lamps, a “swan neck” tow bar kit, side-steps and roof-racks.

Renault SA says these additional items are valued at a total of R40 000. Interestingly, the Kadjar XP edition is priced at R364 900, the same as the model on which it is based.

The local arm of the French automaker says a “limited number of units” will be available, without specifying exactly how many.

As with other models in the local Kadjar range, the XP variant comes with a five-year or 150 000 km warranty and a five-year or 90 000 km service plan (with intervals of 15 000 km) as standard.
