About this deal
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.
If it had some of the innovative storage systems that are offered in the left-hand-drive markets then we might well be looking at a new class leader as the rest of the fundamentals are equal to anything else. It drives excellently, has a wide range of engine choices, has a payload that is almost the match of the best in class and it has a fantastic electric version. You can opt for the extended warranty cover, but this only takes you up to five years and doesn’t add any more miles to the allowance. This is still some way short of the maximum 10 years’ cover you get from Toyota on the Proace City. Renault Kangoo standard equipment 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 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.

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. There are just the two trims in the Renault Kangoo range. The more basic looking Start and the more generously fitted out Advance. Equipment highlights are below. 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. 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. Choose the long-wheelbase model, and there's a 4.2 cubic metre cargo capacity, which is more than you get in a long-wheelbase Berlingo by nearly half a cubic metre. The length of the cargo area here is 2,230mm, while most other measurements are the same as the standard van's. The rear sill is slightly lower at 613mm, while the maximum cargo height is 1,248mm.
It will come in two sizes. The small model – described as the standard van – will offer between 3.3 and 3.9 cubic metres of storage space; the longer version has 4.2-4.9 cubic metres of load volume, and will probably be called the Kangoo Maxi (though this hasn’t been announced, and Renault is referring to it as the Kangoo long).

Choose the Blue dCi manual, and there is official fuel economy of 53.3mpg on offer. Combine this with the Kangoo's 54-litre fuel tank, and there's a range of more than 620 miles, although of course a heavy payload will have a negative impact on that figure. There are emissions of 139g/km, but again, stop-start is included to help mitigate exhaust pollution when you're stopped in traffic. Fuel economy for the diesel engines in the Kangoo range are very similar, with the more powerful version only a couple of mpg behind the 95hp model. The 95hp is the most efficient version in the range, with an official combined economy of 53.3mpg, while the 115hp is not far behind with an official figure of 50.4mpg. 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.Before buying your new hubcaps, you’ll need to know the size you need.
