Converting your Kangoo..

Written on the 9th of February 2008 by Cartwright Euro

Compact on the outside, yet cavernous on the inside, Renault Kangoo turns small-van conversions on its head. Kangoo has been built from the drivers needs up, so you will find plenty of fresh thinking from the intelligently-configured load capacities to ergonomic cabin design to an optional automatic gearbox with the feel and economy of a manual.

Renault Kangoo are the perfect vehicle for wheelchair conversions. Renault Kangoo are being used all over Europe and Australia as Mobility mobiles for the elderly and disabled. Kangoo provides the perfect building base for any small conversions.

Renault offer a wide range of Cars and Vans suitable for adaptation to your individual requirements. The adaptations can be a simple hand control, paddle modifications to more specialist conversions for Wheelchair applications.

The adaptations are carried out by Converters who specialise in converting vehicles for Motability. The majority of these Converters have access to detailed technical information from Renault to assist them in converting the vehicle to high standards. Those Converters who achieve the highest level of proficiency in their Conversion are awarded the Renault Accord Produit for their specific conversion.

Every possible cubic centimeter has been wrung from the design. So while the Renault Kangoo is about the length of an average hatchback, it has the capacity of almost 2.75 Cubic meters, a floor length of 1.4 meters and carries a payload of 560kgs to suit an enormous number of possible conversions such as -

The Renault Kangoo has been chosen by many fleets around the world as its preferred vehicle - including the British Gas Company, Swedish Gas company, French Gas Company, Logan City Council Queensland Australia, German and Spanish Postal Service - are only some of the testimony to the flexibility and sound reputation of the vehicle.

 
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.

Also available at Cartwright Euro Renault is the new Diesel dCi Kangoo equipped with the 1.5 dCi, already available on Mégane, Scénic and New Laguna. Developing 105hp at 4,000rpm, with 240Nm of torque at 2,000rpm, this engine is intended for motorists seeking even greater driving pleasure. With its second-generation common rail injection system, variable-geometry turbocharger and 1,600-bar injection pressure version is guaranteed to deliver excellent performance, 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.

And all this compressed into a smart little package that makes city driving (and parking) a breeze...it's the sort of thinking that has made Kangoo one of Europe's favorite vans.
