The carrying capacity of New Kangoo Express ranges from 3 to 3.60 cubic metres according to version. The availability of abundant stowage space and advanced connectivity solutions can turn New Kangoo Express into a genuine travelling office.
A carrying capacity of between 3 and 3.6 cubic metres
The dimensions of New Kangoo Express (length: 4.21m; width: 1.83m; height: between 1.81m and 1.84m according to version) ensure a generous carrying capacity of 3 cubic metres (up from 2.75 cubic metres compared with Kangoo Express), a load length of 1.73m (up 6cm over Kangoo Express) and a width between the wheel wells of 1.21m which permits a Euro pallet to be carried. Its rugged hinged rear doors have been engineered for intensive use. When opened to an angle of 90°, they are held in place by a system that prevents them from slamming shut in gusty wind. A handle located on the inside of the doors releases the mechanism and permits them to be opened to an angle of 180°. Depending on equipment level and version, the cabin is separated from the cargo area by two protective tubes, a swivelling mesh grille bulkhead or a full bulkhead. The payload of New Kangoo Express can be as high as 800kg (depending on version).
For enhanced modularity and increased carrying capacity, New Kangoo Express is available with a folding passenger Seat (optional). With the Seat is folded, maximum cargo capacity increases to 3.5 cubic metres, while maximum load length becomes 2.50m. Moreover, it is also possible to order the vehicle without a passenger Seat which extends the maximum cargo-carrying volume to 3.6 cubic metres and maximum load length to 2.92m.
The design of the sliding side door is extremely robust and features a load entry width of 635mm (up 16mm compared Kangoo Express). A total of six anchorage points permit heavy items to be tied down and, depending on finish level and the layout of the cargo area, it is possible to add a further four or six anchorage points.
Clever, functional stowage The voluminous carrying capacity is enhanced by the availability of a high number of stowage solutions around the drive station designed to facilitate the day-to-day life of professionals. A4 documents or an invoice pad can be easily stored in the dashboard, which also incorporates a pen holder. The 15-litre lidded glovebox (according to equipment level) can take two laptop computers, as well as documents and/or items that are best kept away from prying eyes. The 13-litre overhead parcel shelf is easy to access and is ideal for stowing a road atlas, documents or a bag, while the generous 4-litre door bins can also take an array of documents along with a 1.5-litre bottle.
A range of accessories associated with the worlds of multimedia and navigation transforms New Kangoo Express into a travelling office. Renault provides a portable navigation system holder which fits to the driver's top left for easy visibility. An Audio Connection Box is also available for New Kangoo Express. This system sits inside the glovebox and enables occupants to listen to their own audio collection thanks to ports for a USB key, mobile MP3 player or iPod. Functions are controlled via the steering wheelmounted fingertip remote control and a hands-free Bluetooth telephone function is also available.
New Kangoo Express adapts to the needs of all customers
Because professionals need a vehicle tailored to their particular needs and demands, Renault has developed a comprehensive catalogue of accessories and range of conversions carried out by specialist converters. A New Kangoo Express for all professionals New Kangoo Express can be adapted to meet all types of needs thanks to a wide range of equipment, accessories and interior and exterior conversions.
Different interior layout solutions have also been developed to meet the needs of tradesmen. A selection of practical protective linings for the cargo area – such as wood or plastic floor, side or rear door linings – make New Kangoo Express even more rugged, while the fitment of a volumetric or perimetric alarm ensures the protection of contents.
Meanwhile, in association with specialist converters, Renault has developed a range of conversions designed for different types of professional use:
- emergency vehicles (municipal police forces, fire brigades, dog vans, utility companies, roadworks, etc.),
- temperature-controlled transport and fridge vans for carrying perishable goods (the fridge unit can be electrically powered or mechanical driven by the engine),
- delivery vehicles (mail services, bakers, etc.),
- pick-ups or tippers for road maintenance,
For the first time in this segment, New Kangoo Express comes with pre-equipment to facilitate the work of converters and guarantee quality work:
- a passage for cables in the cowl panel,
- engine power take-off (e.g. for fridge compressor),
- pre-installation of electrical connections.
The Renault Accord Produit certifies that conversions do not detract from the functions and performance of the original vehicle. This certification is delivered after inspection of technical, quality and commercial (after-sales, guarantee) criteria. Renault also offers numerous possibilities to produce specials on the production
line which make it possible to produce a vehicles in company colours for a fleet customer or else prepare the vehicle for conversion work by an outside specialist. Renault can also count on its subsidiary SOMAC to guarantee delivery times, logistical support and quality within a fully integrated production flow.
