Renault introduced the second generation of the Kangoo in 2008, and, like its predecessor, it was available as a light utility vehicle or a passenger car.
After a successful first generation, the Kangoo received a well-deserved second generation that added more practical and passenger-friendly features. Thus, the car managed to be a bargain for those who needed a utility vehicle for the week and a practical minivan for the weekends.
For the second generation of the Kangoo, the car designers worked hard to give it a distinct personality. Thus, the front fascia received tear-shaped headlights mounted very high to protect them against bumps. Moreover, the front bumper was left unpainted for the base trim levels, reducing the repair costs. Next, the tall greenhouse required a big windshield that offered a panoramic view. On its sides, the Kangoo featured large front doors and sliding doors on both sides, albeit only one was fitted as standard for the lower trim levels. Finally, at the back, Renault installed a wide tailgate.
Inside, the dashboard reminded customers that the Kangoo was created mainly as a utility vehicle. It sported hard plastic areas, but the color scheme tried to hide that. The high-mounted gear stick on the center stack made the driving more comfortable. Apart from the driver's seat, all others could've been folded down. Moreover, the bench was removable, thus transforming the passenger minivan into an actual light commercial vehicle.
Underneath the hood, Renault installed part of the engines used for its Megane lineup, consisting of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a choice of three 1.5-liter turbo-diesel powerplants. All of them were paired with a five-speed manual that sent the power to the front wheels. Unfortunately, unlike its predecessor, it wasn't available with a 4x4 system anymore.
