Renault brings on Kangoo for the people

The Renault Kangoo is arguably one of the most well-received commercial van on our local shores. Continental outlook, turbo-diesel capabilities and flexibility in terms of load carrying has put the French minivan into lights when it first appeared. 

Now however, it seems that Renault has decided to extend the Kangoo's capabilities to well beyond that of a goods van. Called the Grand Kangoo, it now comes with two extra, independant seats, which makes the 'car' a true 7-seater. This new variant packs goodies from its commercial stablemate, such as the flexible modular cabin which can be transform to fit in more people or cargo.

This new variant will be offered first in France early next month. With our soaring COE prices, and recently lowered diesel taxes, we cannot rule out the possibility of this versatile MPV making its way to our sunny little island. Keep your fingers crossed.
