NEW LOOK: The latest option on Australian Renault Kangoo range is a four-door, five-seat variant.
Renault Kangoo jumps higher T
hough Renault is becoming increasingly well known in Australia as the marque that provides excellent hot hatches in the RS (RenaultSport) range, it’s also keen to expand its light-commercial Kangoo range. Renault Kangoo is now offered in an increasing number of body types and options. The biggest news is the addition of a four-door crew-cab version called the Renault Kangoo Maxi Crew. The Crew’s rear passenger doors are vantype sliding units on both sides and we found
By EWAN KENNEDY entry and egress very simple due to the seats being higher than in a passenger car. There are five seats and all can take a normal size adult with no compromises in comfort. As the Kangoo Crew sits on the same long wheelbase as the two-door Kangoo Maxi van there’s still plenty of space for cargo, even if the rear seats are in use. The rear seat has a 60/40 split and the backrest can be folded to provide a
completely flat floor. With the seats down, up to 4.0 cubic metres of cargo can be carried. When the back seats are in use the capacity is 1.3 cubic metres. Items up to 2.88 metres in length can be carried inside if the front passenger seat is folded forward. Maximum load is 710 kg. The Kangoo Crew has a tight turning circle of just 10.7 metres - and the roof height of 1.8 metres is more SUV-like than van-like. A new design turbo-diesel engine is a
big advance on that in the previous model Kangoo Maxi. It still has a capacity of 1.5 litres, but now puts out 81 kW of power and 240 Nm of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed manual gearbox there’s no automatic option. Kangoo comes with a factory three-year warranty that stretches to an impressive 200,000 kilometres. There’s three years free roadside assistance. It’s eligible for Renault’s capped price service program of $349 per calendar year for the first three years.
