Renault Kangoo Van Z.E.

Getting to know Kangoo Van Z.E

Kangoo Van Z.E. is the market's first affordable, all-electric van which doesn't produce any CO2 tailpipe emissions in use. It has its own visual signature, but above all it's a Kangoo, and it's just as user-friendly as the internal combustion-engined version…

The 'Z.E.' visual signature

Kangoo Van Z.E. features the same overall design as the internal combustion-engined version. It's distinctive '100% electric' identity is visually demonstrated by the lack of exhaust pipe and a chrome 'Z.E.' badge at the rear. The charging flap is located at the front of the vehicle, near the 'Z.E.' monogrammed front right light. A logo representing an electronic circuit is visible on the bumper, on the right rear door of the cargo area, and on the driver and passenger doors.

Electric – but above all, a true van

Thanks to the central location of the battery, below the floor, Kangoo Van Z.E. features the same dimensions and carrying capacity as the internal combustion-engined model. With an overall length of 4.21m, the load volume ranges from 3m3 to 3.5m3, while payload is 650kg. The flat floor permits a maximum load length of 2.5m (with passenger seat folded flat) which is identical to that boasted by the internal combustion-engined version. The width between the wheel arches is 1.21m, which enables a euro pallet to be loaded. The asymmetric rear doors, plus the sliding side door, enable easy access to the load area.

Kangoo Van Z.E. is a versatile vehicle and is available in two- and five-seat 'Maxi' form. The wheelbase of Maxi versions has been extended by 40cm for an overall length of 4.6m.

The two-seat version is designed for goods transport, and the front seats are separated from the cargo carrying area by an optional bulkhead. It is in this configuration that Kangoo Van Z.E. offers its optimal load capacity:

• A carrying capacity of up to 4.6m3, an additional 1.1m3 compared to Kangoo Van Z.E.

• A maximum load length of 2.9m.

In its five-seat configuration, Kangoo Maxi Z.E. features a 60/40-split folding rear bench seat. It can carry up to five people and includes a load carrying capacity of 2.4m3. Seating in this versatile vehicle can be arranged in up to four different ways according to the number of people being carried. The bench seat can also be folded into the floor to provide an all-flat surface and free up extra space for a carrying capacity of 3.6m3.

Kangoo Van Z.E. is available in a choice of nine standard body colours, although customers are able specify their own company colours.

An 'electrified' dashboard

The dashboard has been entirely rethought to make range optimisation easy and efficient.

There are two additional dials, one either side of the speedometer:

• A gauge which indicates the battery's level of charge.

• An econometer which tells the driver how energy is being used: light blue indicates the vehicle is running 'normally', dark blue is optimum while red indicates that energy is being used excessively in a way that will impact the range.
