• its engine starts quickly even in severe frost;
• bottom engine compartment, having a decent size, is additionally protected;
• The body is protected from corrosion thanks to a special anti-corrosion treatment.

Biography Renault van Kangoo, designed to transport goods and passengers, began in 1997, and in 2008 there was a change in model generation. It was the second generation Renault Kangu that began to be officially supplied to the market of our country, and in a short time these cars managed to become very popular. Because of their appearance, witty Russian car enthusiasts dubbed the French car a “heel.”

The manufacturer has recently radically revised its views on the Renault Kanga. If in the 90s of the last century the car was positioned exclusively as a light-duty van, a vehicle for business, now the developers have a different position regarding this car. The French claim that Renault - family car, designed for long flights.

The manufacturer has increased since 2010 Renault dimensions Kangoo in all directions. The length of the car increases to 4231 mm, the wheelbase is now 2697 mm, the width of the Kanggu is 1829 mm, and its height is 1839 mm. The trunk volume has increased to 660 liters, but if you remove the second row seats, the trunk volume becomes significantly larger - 2,866 liters.

The main advantages of the French minivan

The main feature of the car, for which it is so valued by Russian (and not only) car enthusiasts, is the interior, unique in its volume and maximum comfort. Salon Kangoo minivan completely comfortably accommodates five adults, even in winter season when Russians put on warm sheepskin coats and fur coats. It’s very nice that at the same time there remains quite a decent supply living space. Passengers sitting in the second row of Renault do not experience any discomfort. The length of the cabin allows you to stretch your legs and ride comfortably.

There is no room for twilight in the Renault interior, since the glass area is quite large. If you have a panoramic roof at your disposal (and it can be ordered), then during a stop during the day you can admire the clouds floating into the distance, and at night you can appreciate the beauty of the starry sky. Two adults without special labor will stay in Reno for the night, and it promises to be quite comfortable.

Transforming back row passenger seats, you can get a flattened cargo area, which will be at least 1.803 m in length. Its width between the rear wheel arches reaches 1.121 m, and a height of 1.115 m. They get into the trunk in two ways - a large single-leaf compartment, rising up, and double doors, opening, forming an angle of 180 degrees.

I must say that practical French They are in no hurry to radically change the appearance of this car, clearly believing that this is not worth doing, since its sales now exceed 100 thousand copies annually. Today, Renault Kangoo is the undoubted sales leader among European compact minivans. He managed to outperform German and Italian cars.

The secret to this is simple. Despite the expanded functionality and capabilities of the car, the driver and passenger sitting on front seat Renault will be able to appreciate the comfortable, ergonomic chairs. The interior of the cabin now uses modern pliable plastic and high-quality upholstery fabric that is soft to the touch. Among the new products we can note:

For the Renault emblem, which is a memorable diamond, the designers found a place on a special insert in the false radiator grille.
