The Kangoo has never really broken through in the UK, with small van rivals like the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Vauxhall Combo and the ever-popular Ford Transit Connect proving more popular in the sales charts.

As mentioned above, the new Kangoo is now wide enough in the rear to accept a Euro pallet sideways – and this is with space to spare for ply-cladding round the wheel arches. Servicing is well spaced for all three versions, with intervals set at 24,000 miles or every two years regardless of whether you go for a petrol or a diesel. Renault will sell you a service plan when you buy the Kangoo brand new, which covers you for the first five years or 66,000 miles. As a guide to how much more servicing a petrol or a diesel will cost you versus electric, this is about 50% more expensive on an engined Kangoo versus an EV model. Renault Kangoo warranty Storage is also good in the Kangoo. There's an overhead shelf, a lidded cubby above the dials, a dashtop tray and a decent glovebox, while the door bins are also a good size. The rear doors are split asymmetrically, while the standard side door has an impressive 864mm opening width. What payload does the Kangoo offer?The petrol model is designed for businesses that carry lighter loads, and if you keep the van's weight down, you should be able to match Renault's claim of up to 41.5mpg. There are emissions of 155g/km, while standard-fit stop-start will help reduce your emissions in urban traffic, and energy recuperation is offered under braking, too. A 54-litre fuel tank means there's a range of more than 450 miles on a tank of petrol. Find a guaranteed used Renault Kangoo alloy wheels here competitive prices.

The Renault Kangoo’s cabin has gone the way that every small van has of late, by taking big influence from the passenger car world. Granted it is more in line with the sort of budget models that appear on smaller superminis than the high-end larger equivalents.

Motorway and Traffic Companion – add-on for automatic transmission Kangoos that combines the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist to give modest self-driving capability in traffic What there isn’t, sadly, is many of the clever features from the left-hand drive version of the Kangoo. That is available with a large glovebox, a system that removes the B-pillar to create a huge side loading space and a hinged bulkhead and a folding front passenger seat that gives you a large and long loadbay. Motrio is a brand of automotive spare parts launched by Renault in 1998, covering both Renault/Dacia vehicles and other brands. The objective of Motrio is to propose an alternative range to Renault genuine parts. Motrio became also a multi brand network of repairers in 2003. There are two diesel engine options, both based around Renault's 1.5-litre four-cylinder. The Blue dCi 95 has 94bhp and 260Nm of torque, while the Blue dCi 115 has 113bhp and 270Nm of torque. As well as more power, the Blue dCi 115 comes with a seven-speed EDC automatic gearbox that replaces the 95's six-speed manual. Fuel economy for the dCi 95 is estimated at 53.3mg, while the dCi 115 manages 50.4mpg. Storage is ok rather than great in the cabin, with an open space above the centre of the dash and a lidded one above the steering wheel – the latter welcome as it prevents things from reflecting into your line of sight.The Kangoo is alo 0.3-0.5 cubic metres bigger inside than the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Vauxhall Combo Cargo. The petrol is less economical on paper, with an official rating of 41.5mpg. Renault Kangoo servicing Another positive for reliability is the Kangoo's relatively late arrival to the UK. It went on sale in Europe in 2021, when it won the title of International Van of the Year, but the right-hand-drive version arrived here well over a year later. The reason behind this was that it was cheaper for Renault to homologate the left-hand-drive version and then produce the RHD as a variant of that than it was to go through homologation for both at the same time. The later and cheaper development of the RHD model is also the reason why this version doesn't come with the pillarless access option of the Continental Kangoo. That said, it is similarly priced when you compare like for like, as this lower price point is due partly to the lower level of kit and also in part to the fact that the Kangoo is one of the few vans to come with a petrol engine. Renault Kangoo mpg The Renault Kangoo has been a staple of the small van market ever since the first version replaced the Renault Express in 1997. However, while the model line has been on sale for more than 25 years, each Kangoo generation has hung around for an unusually long time. The Kangoo Mk1 was sold for a decade, while the second generation lasted from 2007 to 2021. But while the third generation replaced the Mk2 in Europe in 2021, the UK had to wait until the end of 2022 for the all-new Mk3 Kangoo model.

They have to cope with scrapes, slams and damage that would leave any of us looking a little worse for wear. Renault hasn’t given full dimensions details for the longer Kangoo Maxi version, but has said it has a loading length of up to 3,548mm. Renault is a bit behind the curve when it comes to driver assistance tech in its current range of vans, but the Kangoo is stepping up to redress that, with all of the following available: The other big name in this class is the VW Caddy, which is a modern and strong small van, if one that doesn’t offer quite the same maximum payload as its rivals. All told, this is a highly competitive class. Verdict: is the Renault Kangoo any good? The new Kangoo is available with a Permanent Rear View Camera. This is new for the small Renault, but already available on the Renault Master large van, as well as rival small vans the Vauxhall Combo Cargo, Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo. How big is the new Renault Kangoo?Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go – not only regulates the distance between you and the van in front but when an automatic transmission is fitted will also bring the van to a complete halt in traffic if needs be The tall, chunky drive selector doesn't feel as hi-tech as the drive selectors you'll find in rivals, but it does the job, while the lever moves right to select the different levels of energy recuperation. The option of a petrol engine is a rarity in the van sector as a whole. It is a 100hp 1.3-litre engine that is also paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. All products unless stated are supplied via Renault UK and come with a 12 month Renault parts warranty from the invoice date.

The all-electric Kangoo E-Tech has a WLTP-tested range of 186 miles from its 44kWh battery. This is pretty impressive when you consider that the Citroen e-Berlingo has a larger 50kWh battery, yet has a claimed range of only 171 miles. As with its electric rivals, the Kangoo E-Tech has driving modes and different levels of energy recovery. The two driving modes are Normal and Eco, with the latter limiting power to 74bhp and the top speed to 68mph to help save battery energy. Unlike an e-Berlingo or its siblings, switching between Eco and Normal modes in the Kangoo E-Tech doesn't see a sudden increase in range from the range predictor, so it's hard to gauge how much impact Eco mode has. The more powerful engine removes this element of breathlessness but without going too far towards being overpowered. It also greatly benefits from being available with a smooth seven-speed gearbox. It’s unusual that there is no option to spec the more powerful engine with the manual gearbox, but it is not as if there is a huge price differential between the two – no more than you could pay to step up the engine range ordinarily.The Kangoo E-Tech is the new name for what used to be called the Kangoo ZE, and it's the electric model in the line-up. This comes with a 118bhp electric motor and direct drive to the front wheels, and there's a healthy 245Nm of torque on offer, too. This electric motor is joined by a 44kWh battery - up from a maximum of 33kWh for the old Kangoo ZE - which gives the van an official WLTP range of 186 miles.
