Renault Kangoo

Effective look and economical engines make Kangoo a good choice for a family


A practical vehicle

The French automaker has offered a lot of interior space with good storage capacity, smooth ride, efficient engines with low running cost performance and twin sliding doors for easy access in its Renault Kangoo. Designing is suitable for maximum loading capacity by easily folding rear seats.

The wheelbase is perfect if we compare it with Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner. No extra length behind the back wheel for Kangoo that gives a good impression on its look and makes it not a van for loading but a family leisure activity vehicle. With some of the finest engines it has plenty of features to appeal.

Good Interior lay out and equipment

Simple and sophisticated interior qualifies the mental satisfaction of the users. Steering wheel and front seats are fixed and without any adjustment control system, but work properly and give a comfortable long ride without any fatigue.

The Renault Kangoo is a practical van and there is a plenty of head and leg room in the cabin good for all physiques. At the back, lot of space can be used by folding seats. Over head parcel shelves are for extra storage with aircraft-style lockers. The Renault Kangoo is available in three wheelbase configurations: the Kangoo Compact, the Kangoo Express and the Kangoo Express Maxi.
