A KANGOO TO SUIT ALL TASTES

Renault’s Maubeuge plant has produced its millionth second-generation Kangoo. Initially released in 1998 and then redesigned in 2007, the Kangoo is now available in two forms: a leisure activity vehicle for retail customers and a LCV for the brand’s business customers. The LCV comes in a choice of three sizes – the Kangoo Compact, Kangoo Express and Kangoo Maxi – as well as an electric version, the Kangoo Z.E.

100% MADE IN FRANCE

Renault’s entire range of light commercial vehicles is made in France. The Trafic and Master vans are respectively manufactured in the Group’s Sandouville and Batilly plants, illustrating the know-how and competitiveness of its French production sites.

The Maubeuge facility also produces the Citan for Renault’s partner, Daimler.

WORLDWIDE SUCCESS

Japan is the final destination for the millionth Kangoo which features an Etoilé Blue finish.

Although France, Spain and Germany are the car’s three chief markets, its popularity is rising in Japan, where 1,679 Kangoos were sold in 2015, accounting for one-third of all Renault sales in the country.
