We study a realistic Kondo model for crystal field quartet ground states having magnetic and nonmagnetic (quadrupolar) exchange couplings with conduction electrons, using the numerical renormalization group method. We focus on a local effect dependent on singlet excited states coupled to the quartet, which reduces the nonmagnetic coupling significantly and drives non-Fermi-liquid behavior observed in the calculated quadrupolar susceptibility. A crossover from the non-Fermi-liquid state to the Fermi-liquid state is characterized by a small energy scale very sensitive to the nonmagnetic coupling. On the other hand, the Kondo temperature observed in the magnetic susceptibility is less sensitive. The different crystal-field dependence of the two exchange couplings may be related to the different x dependence of quadrupolar and magnetic ordering temperatures in Ce{sub x}La{sub 1-x}B{sub 6}.
