What Type of Van is a Renault KANGOO? An Overview: Â
The Renault Kangoo is a compact van and as such, falls into both the ‘car-derived van’ and ‘small van’ categories. The Kangoo's classification means it offers the practicality of a van paired with driving characteristics and comforts similar to a car, making it a popular choice for those who need a versatile vehicle for both work and personal use. As such, the Renault Kangoo is available as both a commercial van and a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) which prioritises passengers over cargo.  Â
How Much Does This Van Cost in the UK?Â
From new, the Renault Kangoo van has a starting price of £25,390 for the KANGOO ML19 TCe 100 advance panel van MY24 model. However, you can make BIG savings here at Loads of Vans - an approved Renault commercial vehicle retailer.Â

Driving and PerformanceÂ
The Renault Kangoo van provides a driving experience that balances everyday practicality with driver comfort and user-friendliness, making it well-suited for businesses operating in urban and rural environments. As a small van, the Kangoo is not designed for high-performance driving, but rather for reliable, efficient transportation of goods and equipment.
Where the handling is concerned, the Renault Kangoo is nimble and easy to manoeuvre, especially in busy towns and cities where it operates very much like a car. The light steering makes parking in tight spaces and multi-storey car parks an effortless task too. Unlike passenger vehicles, the Kangoo commercial van is built with a suspension system designed to balance the on-board cargo for a more stable load-carrying experience when behind the wheel. Â
Renault’s range of diesel engines offers a good amount of low-end torque which provides peak performance when carrying cargo, while the petrol engine provides an all-round smoother operation when less weight is required. The 100% electric version boasts instant torque for faster acceleration and a much quieter driving experience when on the open road. Â

The Renault Kangoo van offers several engine variants to suit different needs and preferences, including:

FAQs and Answers
We hope our detailed review of the new Renault Kangoo has provided you with a greater understanding of this great little van. Below, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our customers to give you an even better idea of what to expect from a Renault Kangoo van:Â Â Â
Is the Renault Kangoo a good van?
The Renault Kangoo is generally considered a very good van, particularly for small businesses, tradespeople, and those needing a versatile vehicle for mixed personal and light commercial use. It's particularly well-regarded for urban operations as it's nimble and agile in town and city settings.
Can you sleep in a Renault Kangoo?
While the Renault Kangoo is primarily designed as a commercial van or family vehicle, it is possible to sleep in one, especially with some modifications. The cargo area in a standard Kangoo van could accommodate a single person or possibly two people with a sleeping mat or air mattress in place - of course, you’d need to remove or fold down any rear seats in passenger versions to accommodate this.
Is the Renault Kangoo bigger than a Citroen Berlingo?
The Renault Kangoo and Citroen Berlingo are close competitors in the compact van segment, and their sizes are quite similar. Where length is concerned, the Renault Kangoo pips the Citroen Berlingo van to the post when it comes to the LWB variant. However, both vehicles are similar in width and height. Having a slightly larger long wheelbase means the Renault Kangoo has a bigger load volume.Â
What is the top speed of a Renault Kangoo van?
The top speed of a Renault Kangoo van varies depending on the specific engine and model variant. Petrol engine variants typically range from 99 mph to 106 mph, whereas diesel engine versions usually have a top speed between 94 mph to 109 mph. The E-Tech electric version is limited to about 81 mph.Â
How many miles to the gallon does a Renault Kangoo do?
The fuel efficiency of a Renault Kangoo varies depending on the engine type, model year, and driving conditions. Typically, the most fuel-efficient are the diesel variants that produce a range of approximately 45-60 mpg. Generally, the petrol engine models are less fuel-efficient and achieve a range of approximately 35-45 mpg.Â
How long does a Renault Kangoo last?
The lifespan of a Renault Kangoo can vary significantly depending on several factors. With proper maintenance, a Kangoo can often last 150,000 to 200,000 miles or more. Some well-maintained diesel models have even been known to exceed 300,000 miles.
How reliable is a Renault Kangoo?
The reliability of the Renault Kangoo van is generally considered to be good, especially in more recent models. However, like any vehicle, experiences can vary. On the plus side, the Kangoo has been in production for many years, allowing Renault to refine the design. The diesel variants are often praised for their longevity and reliability, especially given the tougher conditions that commercial vehicles face compared to passenger cars.Â
Are Renault vans easy to repair?
Renault vans, including the Kangoo, are generally considered relatively easy to repair compared to many other vehicles. Because Renault vans are popular, especially in Europe and the UK, new parts are widely available and aftermarket parts are often readily accessible and affordable.
