Renault Kangoo – compact van and Express delivery vehicle since 1997 on the Clio II platform: 1.5-litre DCi diesel engines, Express panel van and estate versions, occasionally with all-wheel drive
The Kangoo arrived in 1997 and uses the technical base of the Renault Clio II; it has since been offered as a passenger estate and, under the Kangoo Express name, as a small panel van for trades and delivery services. The early models in the register still carry the naturally aspirated 1.9D diesel and the 1.9DTI turbodiesel designations; from the early 2000s the 1.5-litre DCi engine (K9K) replaced these and became the range's defining powertrain, with a small-volume raised 4x4 version also produced. A second generation followed in 2008 and a third in 2021, also offered as the fully electric Kangoo E-Tech.

The register lists 136 versions with power outputs from 44 to 70 kW, displacements from 1,140 to 1,998 cm³ and four cylinders. Unladen weights range from 975 to 2,025 kg, permissible gross weights from 1,475 to 2,550 kg, widths from 1,500 to 1,910 mm; length figures are only recorded for a smaller share of the models.
As one of the first modern compact vans, the Kangoo helped shape the segment together with the Citroën Berlingo and the Peugeot Partner, and remains popular with tradesmen and delivery services thanks to its low load sill and large sliding doors.
On used examples, important points are the timing-belt change interval on the DCi engines, rust on the sliding-door tracks and floor pan, the clutch on high-mileage delivery vehicles, the electronics of the locking systems, and, on 4x4 versions, the condition of the additional transfer unit and the raised suspension.
