Renault Kangoo Van - Real Van Life (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

[@Muushondje]

Marek, that makes a real Professional of you. Also reviewing boring cars like this Superb review by rhe way I have enjoyed it very much.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Much appreciated!

[@AliHijazi]

It's professional of you to review an LCV - no one has done it before- and I really enjoyed the review and the car is interesting especially the one you reviewed (absence of pillar)

[@kevinn1158]

wow, I just watched a review of a Panel van that we don't get in Canada.... good job keeping me interested Marek!

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Glad to hear it. I guess the closest to this Kangoo would be a Ford Transit Connect, which you get in Canada. I think it's a longer wheelbase car, but generally speaking the same concept. The Kangoo also used to come in two wheelbase lengths. I don't know if they are planning to do the same for this gen.

[@Da_StormtroopeR]

The Kangoo and also the Berlingo were sold in Germany in high numbers without any advertising for years now.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

They seem like a very rational choice for handymen, etc.

[@Worstenboer]

Nice Sortimo system in the back

[@CrazzlY]

This van actually looks really good! Marek, nice review as always, mate! :)

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Thanks! 😀

[@robtt997]

I would like all those practical touches , like the storage pockets in the roof, on my car .

[@Nigelrudyardmusic]

I think it's a cracking little LCV. I also like the van-based cars like the Citroen Berlingo, just for the room.

[@dakar795]

Great choise Marek!

[@PETSETAKIS]

really nice van ! need this 4x4 with 130hp dci ..

[@alliejr]

I love that you love reviewing this work truck 🤩

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I like when something's designed for a specific purpose, and does that well. I'd probably like American trucks (over in America, because here they don't make sense).

[@shroomyesc]

@@MarekDrivesENG Oh god tell me about it. Here in Finland the roads are in places maybe a bit bigger than there in poland, but parking spaces are designed for 80's hatchbacks. But because there's lots of America-fanatic neuvo-rich people they've started importing full size American trucks in droves and you can see them every day now. You can't even drive one on a car license, where do people fit them?

[@MarekDrivesENG]

@SHROOMY yeah, I think in Poland some people tried to artificially limit the gross vehicle mass (i.e. get a stamp the truck cannot carry more load than a box of tissues), and then it falls into the

[@tommyolsen8224]

Very nice van !

[@lukaszlewczuk]

A very smart car. I like vans and buses like this one. They are very helpful when you work on a building site or you work with bigger wooden elements. I used to use Peugeot Cangoo between 2007 and 2010 when I was working in a powertools business and I appreciated cars of this kind. Perfect review marek. Thanks !

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

Peugeot kangoo? I think your talking about either the Peugeot partner or the Renault kangoo

[@lukaszlewczuk]

@@MotorTorq_ZA Of course Peugeot Partner! Sorry - mea culpa .....

[@alliejr]

Fun fact, the Nissan version became the official New York City taxi about 10 years ago.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

You're talking about the NV200. That's a bigger car.

[@guilhermepereira4727]

Marek, just a correction: neither the Dokker nor the Express are the same as the Kangoo. The platform and proportions are completly different!

[@scotty7]

For the electricity they really should have added a 48V mild-hybrid system.

[@mohamedalikoceilakemoun7410]

Hope you do the familiale version, to see what you really get compared to the Citan

[@MarekDrivesENG]

It's pretty much the same car.

[@timothybush7050]

The knees hitting the centre thing will be a problem for my long legs 😔

[@MOSSFEEN]

Good looking van

[@thearousedeunuch]

That "Open Sesame" feature is a pretty cool gimmick. I wonder how useful would that be for most customers, though.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Assuming you don't get swivel racking system, you have 145 cm curb side access. You can parallel park in a tight spot and load/unload long objects. I can see this being useful.

[@8draco8]

Missing B pillar is awesome in Ford B-Max so I guess it will be useful here as well.

[@thearousedeunuch]

@@MarekDrivesENG I didn't think of that. Yeah, it can be useful for sure.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

True, I forgot about the B-Max. They should do it also on the Tourneo/Transit.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I would forget about performance if I bought a minivan or van. That’s not important for me.

[@kofib3]

Liking this van especially the "open sesame" doors, though apparently this feature won't appear on the UK version probably due to cost to re engineer. By the way Marek will you soon test the new Mercedes citan since heavily modified version of this Kangoo?!

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Soonish. I'm picking it up in 2-3 weeks, and then it will take another 2-3 weeks before I publish.

[@kofib3]

@@MarekDrivesENG Thanks for the reply 👍Hope this new Citan is a vast improvement on current which is very dated..

[@thearousedeunuch]

The name of the first chapter seems to be in Polish.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Well spotted. Corrected. Thanks.

[@thearousedeunuch]

@@MarekDrivesENG You're welcome. :)

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Less safe during side impacts. A shame Renaults were such rubbish in the US. Long gone for many years now.
