New Powertrain Added


On the 21st, Renault Japon announced the addition of two new models to the Kangoo lineup: the "Kangoo Zen EDC," which pairs a 1.2-liter turbo engine with a 6-speed EDC transmission, and the "Kangoo Actif 6MT" with a 6-speed manual transmission. Sales have commenced.

Existing Grades Continue Sales


Two new model variations have been added to the Kangoo, which is known in Europe as "Ludospace," a French term meaning "play space."


Both powertrains feature a 1.2-liter direct-injection turbo engine delivering a maximum output of 84 kW (115 ps) and a peak torque of 190 Nm (19.4 kgm). The available transmissions are a 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) for the "Kangoo Zen EDC," and a 6-speed manual for the "Kangoo Actif 6MT," which offers simplified equipment and a lower price point.

The top-grade "Kangoo Zen EDC" is available in six colors, including "Jaune Agrume" (yellow), for 2.59 million yen. The entry-level "Kangoo Actif 6MT" is priced at 2.35 million yen and comes in two colors: "Blanc Minéral" (white) and "Gris Métal" (grey).
