New Kangoo Express For The Professionals

Kangoo Express has had a radical impact on the approach of professional users to their vehicle and more than 1,300,000 owners have been won over by its features since 1997. Today, New Kangoo Express stands out as even more practical and comfortable, and goes one-step further to meet the needs of its users.

The newcomer is the fruit of an in-depth reappraisal of the model and, in the realms of design, comfort, practicality and environmental-friendliness, makes a significant contribution when it comes to providing professionals with a comfortable, economical and reliable van.

New Kangoo Express’s design is modern and expressive and notably features a short, robust front that provides a spacious cabin and a large, practical cargo area. Meanwhile, the forward-positioned, panoramic, MPV-style windscreen ensures a brightly lit cabin.

Inside, Renault has placed the accent on space, comfort and practicality thanks an array of features and functions that are unprecedented in this segment. The high seating position ensures a broad view of the road and combines with the dashboard-mounted gearshift lever to deliver a standard of driving comfort on a par with that of a passenger car.

New Kangoo Express’ length of 4.21m frees up an optimized cargo carrying capacity of between 3 and 3.60 cubic meters, while its interior width (1.21m between wheel arches) now makes it possible to take a standard Euro pallet. Hinged, asymmetrical rear doors and the sliding side door (according to version) facilitate access to the cargo area.

The design of New Kangoo Express enables a long list of specific conversions (emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, controlled-temperature transport, pick-ups, etc) to be carried out thanks to the numerous specialist partnerships that have been put into place.

The range includes three diesel powerplants based on the 1.5 dCi block and available in three power outputs (70hp, 85hp and 105hp), plus two petrol engines (1.6 8V 90hp and 1.6 16V 105hp). Powered by the 85hp version of the diesel engine, New Kangoo Express returns combined cycle fuel consumption of 5.2 litres/100km, equivalent to CO2 emissions of just 137g/km.

Its wheelbase dimension of 2.70m ensures balanced, reassuring handling. Features include latest-generation ABS, plus MSR engine torque overrun regulation and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). New Kangoo Express can also be ordered with ESP, CSV understeer control and ASR traction control.

Despite its long list of new features, the New Kangoo Express range will sell at prices very similar to those of the current Kangoo range.
