Get more van for £500 extra

RENAULT’S new Kangoo Van Maxi – the long-wheelbase version of the compact Kangoo van – goes on sale on June 4, in two trim levels: LL and LL+.

The Maxi will cost £550 more than standard versions, at £12,590 to £13,590. A five-seat Crew Van version with twin unglazed side loading doors will also be available in LL guise at £13,390.

The Kangoo Van Maxi makes Renault the first van maker to offer a range of three distinct bodystyles in the compact van segment. It offers a load capacity one-third larger than the standard Kangoo Van – 4.0cu m in two-seat form (rising to 4.6cu m with folding passenger seat), plus a payload of 800kg.

In five-seat Crew Van form, this same load capacity remains when the rear seat bench and passenger seat have been folded. With the luggage retention net in place and the rear three seats upright, the five-seat version offers a load volume of 1.1cu m up to the height of the rear seats, with a slight fall of 60kg in payload.

High standard equipment levels include: 2x15W radio CD MP3 with fingertip remote control and aux input, full steel bulkhead and eight load anchorage points. And there will be an impressive array of options: Carminat TomTom satellite navigation, climate control, cruise control, folding passenger seat, swivelling bulkhead (Van only), rear parking sensors, speed limiter. Rear curtain airbag and protective luggage net (Crew Van only).

Two variants of the 1.5-litre diesel engine, in 85bhp and 105bhp, are available across five versions of the full Renault Kangoo Van Maxi range. All of the dCi 85-powered versions are eligible for the Renault eco² signature. Three years’ AA roadside assistance and a three-year/100,000 mile warranty (two years unlimited mileage) come with all Kangoos.
