Renault is strengthening its number one status in the European LCV segment with the launch of its New Kangoo Van Compact, a new concept in the commercial vehicles sector, designed for urban driving.

New Kangoo Van Compact is aimed at those whose jobs take them frequently into city centres, where parking and ease of manoeuvrability are critical, as well as those who just require a more compact van to meet their needs, regardless of location.

New Kangoo Van Compact’s 3.83m length is 38cm shorter than New Kangoo Van by reducing its wheelbase by an equivalent amount. The shortened wheelbase also reduces the turning circle, making it ideal for inner-city driving, as New Kangoo Van Compact needs just 9.4 metres between kerbs to complete a U-turn.

In spite of its diminuitive dimensions, New Kangoo Van Compact boasts a load capacity of between 2.3 and 2.9m³ (depending on version). It also features an interior width of 1.21m, enabling it to accommodate standard Euro pallets. When the New Kangoo Van Compact’s passenger seat is folded to form a flat floor, the maximum load length increases from 1.34 to 2.12m. A version without passenger seat is also available (depending on country), which can take load lengths of up to 2.54m. In either configuration, maximum load capacity is 2.9 m³.

Renault also offers a mobile navigation device holder, which is positioned near to the driver’s seat for easy visibility. The Multi-functional TunePoint system is also available with the New Kangoo Van range. Located in the glovebox, this device enables occupants to listen to their own music collection, via three ports for connecting USB keys, MP3 players and iPods™. For safe driving and ease of use, the music can be controlled via the fingertip remote controls on the steering wheel. A hands-free Bluetooth function is also available.

New Kangoo Van Compact has a range of engines ideally suited to motoring in built-up areas. The 1.5 dCi diesel engine is available with an output of either 70hp or 85hp, while the 1.6 8V petrol unit delivers 90hp. All of the engines drive through a five-speed manual gearbox.

Because all van users seek well-designed vehicles that can adapt to their needs, Renault offers a full range of complementary conversions and accessories. The cost of mechanical work and repairs has also been minimised to ensure that New Kangoo Van Compact remains an economical and reliable vehicle.
