A bit of history
Back in 1898, three brothers with the surname Renault founded the company, calling it their last name. And almost a hundred years later, namely, in 1997, the car developers of this company created a model called Kangoo. This is how the first generation of this type of transport appeared. In 2003, he received a noticeable change in the design of the front end.
But in 2007, the second generation of Renault Kangoo comes to replace the first. In 2013, it received a bit of a facelift to make it even more attractive.
Since 2011, Renault has been producing an electric version of this car model. This was due to the fact that electric motors are gaining more and more popularity in different countries of the world today. To this day, automotivethe company successfully releases its Kangoo models, which speaks of its success.
