Renault Kengo, the car of the French concern Renault, has a multifunctional purpose. The machine combines the comfort level of a middle-class minivan, the increased cross-country ability in an all-wheel drive version and the capabilities of a truck designed for a load of 550 kg. It is produced according to the standard of an all-metal two-door van, as well as with a station wagon body according to the scheme of two front hinged, two rear sliding and one lifting tailgate. There is a Renault Kangoo modification with all hinged side doors, but this car is not in demand, since the rear doors in the hinged version create certain inconveniences in parking lots, parking lots and other places with limited space.

Serial production of Renault Kengo, the technical characteristics of which fully met the requirements of that time, began in 1998, and the car immediately became one of the most popular models. Power steering, power windows, electronic central locking, ABS, airbags and finally air conditioning. All these technical additions attracted the buyer, and the Renault Kengo rating has steadily risen. There were several engines, gasoline and diesel, of different power and volume. The transmission was also installed in several variants, four-speed automatic transmissions, five-speed manual transmissions and semi-automatic without clutch release.

Renault Kengo's first update took place in 2005. Just in the period from 2004 to 2007, Renault adopted a new corporate identity, and the Renault Kengo was one of the cars that fell under this program. Fog lights were included in the basic equipment of the car, the interior trim was radically improved, as a result of the use of a computer selection of colors for seat upholstery and interior door linings, the cabin became lighter and visually more spacious. In addition to interior improvements, it became possible to choose Renault Kangoo with 4x4 all-wheel drive, which made many buyers living in the countryside very happy.

After the update, Renault Kengo has become a car of increased practicality, so to speak. The capacity of the car could accommodate even a large family, and the luggage compartment allowed loading a significant amount of things. The total usable space of the cargo compartment was 2650 liters, and the reinforced rear suspension could withstand loads up to 700 kg. The exterior of the Renault Kengo consists of noble lines, its appearance speaks of French origin. The machine is characterized by a harmonious combination of exclusive rear lights with practical contours of the entire rear, andthe sharpness of the side lines fits perfectly into the free, uninhibited design of the front end.

Engines installed on Renault Kangoo have only positive reviews, their characteristics are the best suited to optimizing speed on the highway, and in urban conditions Renault Kangoo engines show good throttle response. Engines of the brand D7F 8V and D4F 16V, with a volume of only 1.2 liters, with a capacity of 60 and 75 hp, are reliable and predictable, starting is difficult only at 40 degrees below zero, at any other temperature the car starts easily.
