What is the Renault Kangoo?
The Kangoo is a small van that also serves as a roomy passenger vehicle. Renault launched it in 1997 with versions for both businesses and families. Its tall, practical shape and sliding side door helped establish the leisure-activity vehicle: a van-inspired vehicle suited to everyday family use as well as carrying cargo.
Kangoo generations
Kangoo I (K76) ran from 1997 to 2007. Kangoo II (KFK) followed from 2007 to 2021, and Kangoo III, also listed as KFK, began in 2021. Across the generations, the Kangoo has kept its focus on flexible space, with both passenger and cargo versions.
