Renault Kangoo 1.5 Diesel Review: Mellow yellow
Just an ordinary delivery van you say? Renault's Kangoo could get you thinking otherwise...
OneShift Editorial Team
01 Sep 2009
What we like:
Improved driver and passenger ergonomics- new model gets disc brakes at the rear
- frugal and has plenty of room for cargo.
What we dislike:
Engine lacks oomph and is gruff when revved hard- steering wheel should be telescopically adjustable
- indicator stalks feel brittle.
If you were an employee working for a medium-sized company who had to drive the new Kangoo on a daily basis, you should thank your lucky stars. You could be driving something a lot worse.
The new Kangoo is a decent looker. Its good ride quality and improved cabin layout are creature comforts in an otherwise austere and plasticky interior. It may be just a delivery van, but it's also a really comfortable one at that.
