Renault usually sells more stylish and performance-oriented passenger vehicles in our market and car subscriptions, but some of us will remember the Renault Kangoo that was once sold in CKD form in Malaysia.
Well, that vehicle’s no longer offered here (take advantage of discounted spares if you own one), but there’s an all-new generation of the Kangoo ready to hit the market next year.
The new Kangoo features more aggressive styling, along with innovations such as the ‘Easy Slide Access” and “Easy Inside Rack”.
Four variants will be fielded, including an all-electric Z.E. version. The Kangoo is made at Renault’s factories in Tangier, Morocco for international markets and at Maubeuge, France for the European market.
For more on the new Kangoo, check out the press release below.
PRESS RELEASE
To meet all its customers’ needs, Renault is unveiling the All-new Kangoo and the All-new Express, each available in both LCV and passenger car versions. This complementary range of four vehicles will be presented and marketed from spring 2021.
The All-new Kangoo Van, the innovative van with an athletic and dynamic style, is mainly aimed at fleets, craftsmen and traders, in search of a tailor-made vehicle for professionals, equipped with the latest technologies.
With its major innovation Easy Side Access and Easy Inside Rack, the All-new Kangoo Van revolutionizes loading and access:
- Easy Side Access: Particularly convenient in city centres, this innovation allows customers to easily access their loads, regardless of parking constraints. By erasing the central pillar, the All-new Kangoo Van offers the widest side access on the market with 1,416 mm (twice the size of its previous version).
- Easy Inside Rack: This retractable interior gallery is another innovation that allows long and voluminous objects to be transported high, freeing up floor space.
The All-new Kangoo Van stands out with a more muscular exterior design. The front end has been completely redesigned with a chrome line between the grille and the front bumper. Featuring sculpted sides and marked shoulders, the All-new Kangoo Van goes upmarket thanks to its sophisticated finishes and chrome inserts. Its brand-new interior offers a horizontal dashboard with numerous storage spaces. The new, completely redesigned, seats bring more comfort and durability.
The All-new Kangoo Van features the Renault EASY LINK multimedia system and new driving aids including the Permanent Rear View digital interior mirror. This new approved system provides excellent rear visibility, convenient on bulkhead vehicles. Other new features include Trailer Swing Assist, Brake Stability Control and AEBS Advanced Emergency Active Braking.
