Renault Kangoo facelift unveiled

Renault has come out with the facelift for the Kangoo and its electric version.

The next version of the van made its appearance in 2008 and now has received a much-awaited facelift which comes with a new front end from Renault’s new design language featuring a more prominent and vertically-positioned logo. The headlights and door mirrors have also been restyled, while the interior gets a new steering wheel, center console and better materials.

It will be offered in two wheelbase lengths and a 1.5-liter dCi diesel engine producing 75 hp (56 kW), 90 hp (67 kW) and 110 hp (82 kW). Kangoo Maxi can come with either a two- or five-seat layout, while the Crew version has a rear seat which can be tipped forward when carrying long loads.

The Renault Kangoo Van Z.E.’s socket has been realigned behind the logo at the front and it actually takes 6 to 9 hours to charge fully from a regular socket. The electric version has a sound-emitting system which is activated at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.58 km/h) to warn walkers and cyclists.

Renault is confident that its facelifted version would be a bespoke one and would win the hearts of customers in the first go.
