Renault is strengthening its number one status in the European LCV segment with the addition of a new concept in commercial vans, manufactured at its Maubeuge plant in France.
New Kangoo Express Compact is a vehicle that has been designed with urban use uppermost in mind. It sets new standards in comfort that help make life easy for its users.

Attractive, compact and nimble, it shares the key strengths of the New Kangoo Express. It uses space particularly efficiently, with a maximum load capacity of between 2.3 and 2.9 cubic metres (depending on version) for an overall length of just 3.83 metres.

With this new addition to its line-up, Renault is addressing the business needs of people whose work involves driving in and around towns and cities. New Kangoo Express Compact is aimed particularly at those whose jobs take them frequently into city centres to make deliveries, carry out jobs or repairs or provide different services.

New Kangoo Express Compact sets unprecedented standards of LCV comfort by revisiting New Kangoo Express. Carefully thought-out ergonomics yield fresh driving pleasure and a sense of well-being. Its dashboard is worthy of an MPV and the high-up driving position combines with the panoramic windscreen. Front elbow room is 1.51 metres and the cabin is exceptionally spacious for such a compact vehicle.

New Kangoo Express Compact’s 3.83-metre length has been made 38 centimetres shorter than the regular Kangoo Express by shortening its wheelbase by an equivalent amount. The reduced wheelbase also reduces the turning circle. New Kangoo Express Compact needs just 9.4 meters between kerbs to complete a U-turn, a feature ideally suited to city driving.

Though compact, New Kangoo Express Compact boasts a load capacity of between 2.3 and 2.9 cubic meters (depending on version). With an interior width of 1.21 metres, the loading bay is designed to take standard Euro pallets. When the New Kangoo Compact Express’s passenger seat is folded to form a flat floor, the maximum load length increases from 1.34 to 2.12 meters. There is also a version without passenger seat which can take load lengths of up to 2.54 metres. In the two latter configurations, maximum carrying capacity is 2.9 cubic metres.
