While initially appearing similar to the prototype spied last month, the 48 second clip posted by the walkoART YouTube page shows the Kadjar sporting the same black-and-white masking on the front-end as before, but minus the black tape around the headlights exposing the integrated daytime running LEDs.

The test mule also appears to have let go of some masking on the left-hand-side revealing its silver body colour, while rear is still heavily masked and virtually unchanged from the model spotted previously.

In addition to its looks and revised interior, the Kadjar will likely swap the aging 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine for the new 1.3-litre turbo co-developed by Daimler that currently powers the Scenic and Grand Scenic in Europe as well as the new Mercedes-Benz A-class, while the existing 1.5 and 1.6-litre turbodiesel motors will more than likely continue unchanged.

Uncertainty however surrounds the Kadjar’s availability in South Africa given supply problems currently hampering both it and the Megane, with rumours circulating that it might be dropped altogether and replaced by the new Koleos, which is currently under local market consideration and only expected to arrive after 2019 if indeed confirmed.
