The Renault Kangoo and the Renault Kangoo Express are a range of multi purpose vehicles manufactured and marketed by Renault across two generations since 1997 in commercial as well as passenger variants. As of December 2019[update], the electric variant, the Renault Kangoo Z.E., is Europe's top selling all-electric light commercial vehicle, with global sales of 48,821 units since its inception in 2011.[1]
The Kangoo is manufactured at the MCA plant in Maubeuge, France and Casablanca, Morocco. The version for the ASEAN markets was assembled by the Malaysian Tan Chong Euro Cars in its Segambut plant.[2] [3]
The first generation model was also marketed as a rebadged variant by Nissan in Europe as the Nissan Kubistar until the end of 2009, when it was replaced by the Nissan NV200. In September 2012, Mercedes-Benz began marketing a rebadged variant of the second generation Kangoo as the Mercedes-Benz Citan.[4]

Renault Kangoo (pre facelift)
Renault Kangoo (first facelift)
Renault Kangoo (second facelift)
The first generation Kangoo was introduced in October 1997, and was facelifted in March 2003, with new front end nose styling, especially the grille, standardised across the Renault range, with the Renault diamond mounted on a body colour panel in the centre of the grille and teardrop headlamps.
The rear windows and seats of the Kangoo could be removed, producing the panel van Kangoo Express. The Kangoo became popular with mobility impaired and wheelchair users due to its height and accessibility, and because it could be adapted to include mounting points for wheelchairs. The rear of the vehicle is cut to allow a ramp to be fitted. A pair of front tie downs are fitted (retractable seat belts with a solonoid release to allow them to be extended, passed around the wheelchair frame, and then locked back when the solonoid is switched off and they retract); this stops the wheelchair from moving back. A pair of rear tie downs with the normal clamping buckles stop the wheelchair from moving forward. A normal, long seat belt is worn by the wheelchair user.
Both the Kangoo and Kangoo Express were available in four-wheel drive versions and a lengthened version was available, with an increased cargo area. A pickup version was sold in the Swedish market. In some countries, such as Malaysia, the Kangoo was assembled by Nissan with third row seats.
A badge-engineered version of the Kangoo panel van was sold as the Nissan Kubistar in many European markets.[10] Nissan offered it from 1999 to 2009. Nissan applied the "X76" model code to the Kubistar. From July 2003, Wallace and Gromit starred in adverts in the United Kingdom for the Kangoo.[11]
Break'Up [edit]
The Kangoo Break'Up was a four wheel drive concept car announced in August 2002 and previewed the facelift design due in 2003, together with a pick up-style rear. It was powered by 1.6 L engine producing 82 kW (110 hp).[12]
Four wheel drive [edit]
Post facelift Renault Kangoo that is able to carry a wheelchair
The 4WD version of the Kangoo was introduced in 2002, and was marketed under the model name Trekka. It should not be confused with the Skoda powered New Zealand built utility vehicle named Trekka, which was marketed in the Antipodes for several years circa 1970.
The Kangoo Trekka's all wheel drive system differed from the Renault Scénic RX4 in its inclusion of a Nissan sourced automatic torque coupling "ATC", a hydraulic coupling that would engage drive on all four wheels should the front wheels start to lose traction.
This allowed the Kangoo Trekka to run in front wheel drive in most conditions, thus saving fuel. Working in combination with the ATC, the Kangoo Trekka featured an electronically controlled "ASR" traction control system which could brake the front wheels to arrest traction loss.
The suspension on the front had longer front struts with revised coil springs, lower suspension arms were revised to a cast steel item. The rear suspension was completely revised from the standard Kangoo torsion bar suspension beam axle to a fully independent coil sprung system with wishbones. The rear differential was centrally mounted with two driveshafts transmitting power to the rear wheels. All this was carried on a subframe which increased the ground clearance and wheel travel.
These changes gave the Kangoo Trekka a 400 mm (15.7 in) fording depth and 28 degree hill climbing capability. The Kangoo Trekka was marketed in the UK with a choice of two engines, the 1.6 L 16 valve petrol engine and the 1.9 L dCi common rail turbodiesel both with a five speed manual gearbox.
In 2005, these models were priced at £12,600 and £13,600 respectively. The diesel produced a peak torque of 180 N⋅m (133 lb⋅ft) and achieved over 7 L/100 km (40 mpg‑imp; 34 mpg‑US) on the combined (urban and extra urban) fuel consumption test.
The petrol engine had a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 60 mph) time of 14.3 seconds, and a combined fuel consumption of 9 L/100 km (31 mpg‑imp; 26 mpg‑US). The interior of the Kangoo Trekka was spartan. The rear bench seat could be folded forward to provide a 2.5 m3 (88 cu ft) loading area, with better access through the sliding side doors.
Engines [edit]
The Kangoo and Kangoo Express was/is available with a choice of multiple engines:
- 1.0 L D Series petrol, 44 kW (59 hp) (8v) / 51 kW (68 hp) (16v)
- 1.2 L D Series petrol, 45 kW (60 hp) (8v) / 56 kW (75 hp) (16v)

- 1.9 L F Series D diesel, 41 kW (55 hp)/48 kW (65 hp) (normally aspirated, indirect injection)

Renault Kangoo Z.E. (rear)
Z.E. facelift
As part of its Z.E. electric car initiative, Renault has developed the Kangoo Z.E. model that is manufactured at its Maubeuge plant,[26] and released the electric van for retail sales in October 2011.[27]
A total of 3,652 Kangoo Z.E. utility vans were registered in France through December 2012,[28] [29] and, with 2,869 units delivered in 2012, the electric van became the top selling plug-in electric vehicle in the country.[29] During 2011, the Kangoo Z.E. sold 991 units in Europe, and cumulative sales in the region reached 6,658 units sold in the region through December 2012, with global sales of 6,665 units.[30]
Worldwide cumulative sales passed the 10,000 mark by the start of September 2013, representing about 10% of overall Kangoo van global sales.[31] The Kangoo Z.E. is the leader of the small all electric van segment, and the best selling electric vehicle in France, with 9,125 units registered through June 2014.[28] [29] [32] [33] The Kangoo Z.E. is Europe's top selling all-electric light commercial vehicle, with global sales of 48,821 units delivered since inception through December 2019.[1]
The Kangoo Z.E. has the same dimensions as the internal combustion model. It uses a synchronous electric motor with rotor coil. Its peak power is 44 kW (59 hp) at 10,500rpm, while maximum torque is 226 N⋅m (167 lbf⋅ft). Its top speed is capped electronically to 130 km/h (81 mph).[34]
The vehicle is powered by a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that delivers a combined cycle range of 170 km (110 mi) NEDC that varies depending on factors such as type of road, temperature, speed or driving style.[25] In November 2011, the Kangoo Z.E. was voted International Van of the Year for 2012.[35] [36] It was also elected Electric Vehicle of the Year in 2012 and 2013 by GreenFleet.[37]
Kangoo Z.E. Power+, released in 2017, includes four changes; new battery, new motor, new charger, and a heatpump. The new battery has a capacity of 33 kWh for a range of 270 km (170 mi) according to the NEDC cycle. The new motor R60 produces peak power 44 kW (59 hp), and is based on the R90 motor found in Renault Zoe.
It was introduced in Mexico on 15 October 2020.[38]
In 2021, the Kangoo Z.E. is renamed Kangoo E-Tech electric.[39]

The third-generation Kangoo was revealed on 12 November 2020, alongside the lower-spec, separate model called Express.[41]
A rebadged version[42] called the Nissan Townstar was revealed in September 2021 to replace the NV200[43] and NV250 in various markets. In Europe, the electric Nissan e-NV200 will be replaced by a Townstar EV based on the Kangoo E-Tech Electric.
