New Renault Kangu is a modern compact minivan with multifunctional salon and very spacious trunk. The manufacturers did a good job on this car. It harmoniously combines truly French pragmatism with good design and innovation. Renault 2015 retains all the characteristics of a comfortable internal space and reliability.

Brief description of the model

U Russian buyer there is a choice - to purchase a Renault with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine or opt for a diesel version with a volume of 1.5 liters. The new Renault has excellent suspension, is quite comfortable and is available with various options in the Authentique and Expression trim levels. Renault Kangoo adapted for Russian consumers:

• 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. For 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 seated in the second Renault range, 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 it at your disposal panoramic roof(and you can order it), 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:

• updated headlights that look like small almond-shaped grains;
• reinforced front bumper and a massive crossbar for hanging a number.

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

Cargo characteristics

As for the excellent cargo characteristics Kangu, they are capable of impressing many car enthusiasts. If there is a driver and four passengers in the cabin, the volume luggage compartment is 660 l. When the rear seats are removed and their backrests are lowered forward, the compartment reaches 2600 liters in volume.

If you use the car for short distance transportation, its carrying capacity will be 1 ton. In the case when the machine is equipped with a diesel engine, its load capacity will be 633 kg. The manufacturer has provided many different places for storing small-sized cargo, providing the car with shelves, pockets and even glove box. The owner, who does not have a good memory, can spend a long time searching for where he placed this or that luggage.

Some dissatisfaction with the car's relatively poor acceleration disappears when the car owner realizes that his car consumes fuel very modestly. Diesel engine outside the city it will require about five liters, and on city streets it needs 5.9 liters. By fully filling the sixty-liter tank, you will be able to travel more than 1000 km.

The second generation of the popular French van Renault Kangu appeared on the Russian market in 2014. The official premiere of the car took place as part of international exhibition Comtrans, held in September 2013 in Moscow. In Europe, the model was presented a little earlier, in February 2013.

Let's carry out detailed review second generation Renault Kangu. Reviews from specialists, car owners and the high popularity of the first model are the main reasons why the company decided to release its next generation.

The Comtrans exhibition was dedicated to commercial transport. There, the French Renault presented two versions of the updated van: cargo and cargo-passenger. Truck version with all-metal body - best option for entrepreneurs and small transport companies. But it is the cargo-passenger version with a minivan-type body that will be considered in detail.

Appearance

The proportions and dimensions remained virtually unchanged after the update. Noticeable amendments affected only the head part of the Renault Kangu body. The car received new compact almond-shaped headlights, a massive bumper with a large air intake and an impressive plastic crossbar for the license plate.

Among the most eye-catching elements, it should be noted the large company logo - a rhombus mounted on the false radiator grille. There were no other changes to the body. As a result of the updates, the car received a modern appearance and to a greater extent externally began to comply with the corporate standards of the manufacturer.

Renault decided that there was no need to seriously change the appearance of the car, whose sales in a year amounted to over 100,000 units (the company is the undisputed European leader in the minivan segment). It also makes no sense to make a model more sporty or aggressive if its main advantage is a spacious and comfortable interior that can accommodate five adult passengers or huge luggage (European consumers have the opportunity to buy a seven-seater version with an extended wheelbase - up to 3100 mm). The van-like body, high roof and vertical rear made it possible to maximize the capacity of the Renault Kangu. Owner reviews indicate that the main thing for cars in this class is spaciousness, and their appearance is the last thing the buyer looks at.

Dimensions

The vehicle dimensions are as follows:

• length - 4282 mm;
• width - 1829 mm;
• height - 1803 mm;
• base - 2697 mm;
• clearance at maximum load- 158 mm, with driver - 178 mm (Kangu Extreme is available in Ukraine with a ground clearance of 211 mm);
• The front and rear wheel tracks are 1521 and 1533 mm, respectively.

Interior

As noted above, Renault Kangu has a huge and comfortable interior. In it with maximum comfort Can accommodate five adults. Even though they will be dressed in winter clothes, there will be a lot left free space in all directions.

Passengers in the second row can sit with their legs extended. The large glass area makes the interior as illuminated as possible. A panoramic roof can also be purchased as an option, but this is not required.

The car has enough space for two adults to sleep in it in complete comfort. When the second row is folded, a cargo area with a length of 1803 mm, a width of 1121 mm and a height of 1115 mm is formed. For convenient use of the trunk, there is a large single-leaf door that lifts up. For an additional fee, you can install a double-leaf door that can open 180 degrees.

Cargo capabilities of Renault Kangu

I can't help but be impressed by the car's performance. When the driver and four passengers are in the cabin, the trunk can accommodate up to 600 liters of cargo. When folded rear seats The capacity of the cargo compartment increases to 2600 liters. Payload van weight is 635 kg. At the same time, car owners claim that it is capable of transporting loads weighing 1 ton over short distances. The cabin also has a large number of shelves, pockets, drawers and niches for things.

Technical part

The second generation Renault Kangu in Russia is offered with two engine options:

1. Gasoline 16-valve 1.6 liter engine with a capacity of 102 hp. With. Works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual transmission. The minivan accelerates to 100 km/h in 13 seconds with a maximum speed of 170 km/h.

IN mixed cycle driving consumes about 7.9 l/100 km, on the highway - 6.3 l/100 km, in the city - from 10.6 liters.

2. 1.5L diesel engine with maximum power 86 l. With. and torque 200 Nm. Works also with 5 manual transmission. The car accelerates to 100 km/h in 18 seconds, and maximum speed is 158 km/h.

Weak dynamics and speed characteristics are compensated low consumption Renault Kangu fuel. Diesel on the highway consumes about 5 l/100 km, in the city - 5.9 l. Therefore, complete fuel tank a volume of 60 liters is enough for more than 1000 km of road. The car's suspension is represented by McPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent beam at the rear. Ventilated disc brakes with a radius of 140 mm are installed at the front, and their radius at the rear is 137 mm.

Options and prices

For Russia, the car is traditionally equipped with enhanced engine protection anti-corrosion treatment and engines capable of starting at low temperatures. Renault Kangu spare parts can be purchased at most car stores, as the model is quite popular.

The car is available in Authentique and Expression trim levels. The first includes a small list of options and equipment: a sliding door for the second row, front electric windows, two front airbags, electronic auxiliary systems ABS and AFU, power steering, central locking.
