Test drive by Renault Kangoo since 2008 Minivan

Test drive by Renault Kangoo: Do \u200b\u200bnot slow down, download

The Renault Kangoo design, its ergonomic, versatility and practicality once again proves that the French brand knows everything about the production of commercial transport.

If anyone was able to make a reference heel, then it is Renault. However, the Kangaroo path to today's perfection was a thorny. Unlike the Traffic van, which since the 80s of the last century has not lost its place among the most popular commercial cars thanks to boring, Kangoo had a significant number of points over the last three generations, becoming attractive and almost twice as voluminous (at least visually).

Experience, good rumor to the reviews and wishes of motorists and, apparently, a direct part in creating a car of a man who for many years delivered cargo, wine, cognac, perfumes and much more through French provinces. To understand all the subtleties of the practical design of the Renault Kangoo salon, you need to wrap it up for at least a week at marketable bases, shops and other delivery addresses, trying to observe order in travel documents and commodity checks with non -interpreting, dentures. Look somehow into the cabin of Gazelle, on which cargo is transported around Moscow. You will see the front seat littered with papers, a 10-centimeter layer of various documents on a dashboard under glass, plastic folders with linen sheets of not filed vouchers under the casing of the doors. By the way, they are not just stored there, but also support the glass from the fall.

In the Kangoo salon, for the sake of practicality, even a mirror in a visor above the driver's seat was sacrificed. There is an organizer for gaps on the territory of various organizations, business cards, powers of attorney, etc. The Kanga Salon resembles a compartment on the train: there are the lower shelves of the front and rear seats, the upper shelves are huge niches under the ceiling, where you can transport half a dozen leverage or, for example, books , wallpapers, DVDs, mobile phones (the zone is out of view of attackers) and a linen regiment two-level luggage compartment, which is divided by a shelf into a bottomless bottom and a sky-high top. Moreover, this car also has the so -called. Mail carrier on the roof. Given the impressive area of \u200b\u200bthe roof, here you can transport, perhaps, everything that is needed in everyday life: a refrigerator, an inflatable boat, bicycles, a bed, etc.

With the reference organization of internal space, the car is a full -fledged member of the transport family. You can’t call him an ugly hard worker, whose beauty is hiding somewhere inside. Renault specialists, having carefully thought out the wrong side of the machine, did not forget that the working class had external attractiveness, and not a coarse, poorly romantic appearance of a straight-length and cold-blooded steel, but a neat manager of the delivery department. Along with the overall harmony of the features, Kangoo even has a highlight: the window niches are deep and, may fans of the brand, which is no longer with us, the shoulder line Renault mows under Hummer3. Of course, such a comparison is somewhat attracted for the exhaust pipe, but this nuance will be clearly pleasant to the Kangoo owner.

The manner of riding Kangoo can be determined how to find the gaze pedal. The fact is that the 1.6-liter 85-horsepower engine paired with archaic, but unbearable 5-speed mechanics, is not ready to provide the car with decent acceleration. At the wheel of this machine, you will focus on the championship from the start only among the classic representatives of the domestic automobile industry. However, the edification is not a hob of a heel. You go quieter, then you will be our motto. Suddenly, the cargo is fragile or, for example, drunk why hesit it with sharp starts and braking? It’s more expensive for yourself. But we make up missed at cruising speed. Renault Kangoo confidently goes along the highway 120-130 km/h, allowing to easily maneuver. The measured ride around the city also does not bother at all. It can be called comfortable, and if the car is used as a taxi, then the power ratio and dynamics is optimal. That's just fuel consumption cannot be called low. A little less than 12 liters of gasoline for a city hundred is a bit too much for a car with similar characteristics, and this despite the fact that the machine was operated in a sparing mode during the test without load.

I note an interesting feature of the dashboard the absence of the red sector in the tachometer. Apparently, the manufacturer does not imply that the Kangoo motor can be promoted to such revolutions, which is likely to fail the engine. On the other hand, the manufacturer, as it were, hints that its motor is so reliable that it can be twisted to any revolutions (the tachometer is drawn to 6.5 thousand b.), And this is safe for the health of the engine. In fact, an effective craving is felt up to 4 thousand about., After which it practically disappears, therefore it does not make sense to gain momentum, it is time to switch the transmission.

Unlike the same Gazelle, Kangoo rarely gets sick and he does not need to carry the medicine with him in the form of a cardan gear reptile, a 3.5-ton hydraulic jack, a box with lights of ignition and a set will not suddenly come in handy. All this trash occupies a lot of space in the domestic van. In Renault Kangoo, the entire interior space is useful.

Summary
I admit that this simple car with a complex, but so useful inner world conquered me. If you, living in a residential area, in the house of construction 50 years ago and, having cottages with a summer house 100 km from the Moscow Ring Road, leave aside the purpose of acquiring a car with prestige, then Renault Kangoo will be the most welcome car in the world . It is roomy, compact and practical, it does not cause any interest in crime, it is quiet and comfortable in it, it is reliable and moderately voracious. House neighbors, owners of fashionable crossovers, will look at you with envy when you plunge into a heel from the Renault sofa, galoshnik, dining table and a thousand different little things. Kangoo will easily contain all this, driver and passenger, and will take them to any place where asphalt and dirt roads lead.

He would also have a machine gun for universality in the issue of replacing the driver with anyone who has a driver’s license, and there is nothing more to wish. He is a business partner and a family member.
