KANGOO - WHERE OTHERS CUT CORNERS WE SHARPEN THEM.
Compact on the outside, yet cavernous on the inside, Renault Kangoo turns small-van convention on its head.
Kangoo comes with a 1.6 Litre 16 Valve petrol engine and optional Pro-Active 4 Speed automatic gearbox are exemplary. The Automatic gearbox takes in into account engine speed, driving style of the driver, profile of the road and driving conditions, then adapt gear change points to match. The result is an Automatic transmission with the feel, control and economy of a manual gearbox.
On the other hand, Kangoo dCi Diesel is the ultimate small van for businesses covering high milage requiring better fuel comsumption. It comes equipped with the 1.5 dCi developing 105hp at 4,000rpm, with 240Nm of torque at 2,000rpm, this engine is intended for motorists seeking even greater driving pleasure. And it does so without adversely affecting fuel economy, boasting a combined- cycle fuel consumption of 5.5 l/100km, achieved thanks to its piezo-electric injectors and 5 speed manual gearbox.
The Renault Trafic is just the van for this new age. The 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine delivers the required grunt at just 7.9 litres per 100km. The cabin is clean and uncluttered, with power steering standard and plenty of nooks and crannies for storage. Smart use of capacity means all configurations can take at least a standard pallet and its distinctive looks and sharp lines give it a presence on the road that speaks volumes about the way you go about your work.
If a traditional small van's too small, but a large van's too big, then the Renault Trafic might be just right. There's plenty of headroom in the back (1.33m), a lowest-in class loading height (making it your back's best friend) and two different platform lengths, offering between 5 and 6 cubic metres in capacity.
Under the bonnet, a 2.0 litre common-rail turbo diesel engine offers formidable power without punishing you at the fuel pump. Handling is effortless and fluid and the standard 6 speed manual gearbox will get you from A to B with maximum efficiency and a minimum of stress.
Master is the biggest van in the Renault light commercial range, with four configurations offering up to 12.6 cubic metres in space. Power is supplied by a 2.5 litre common rail turbo diesel engine, while you can choose the option of a six-speed robotized Quickshift gearbox that slips effortlessly between automatic and manual modes.
Since you spend your life on the road, there are plenty of stowage spaces, big and small. The Master’s efficient exterior shape belies a huge, efficiently designed interior space. Available in three wheel bases and two roof heights, there’s almost 1.3m between wheel arches and between 2.63m and 3.63m in platform length.
A big load needs a big engine, and under the Master’s bonnet you’ll find 2.5 litres of direct injection common rail turbo diesel power. It makes overtaking a breeze yet delivers a fuel economy of just 8.9 litres per 100 kilometres. The six-speed robotized Quickshift gearbox allows you to effortlessly switch between manual and automatic modes, with auto mode choosing between 7-gear shift patterns tailored to specific road conditions and road gradients.
