Renault Kangoo

The Renault Kangoo and Kangoo Express are panel vans that have been produced by Renault since 1997. This is the most popular panel van in Europe and Latin America. It's mainly produced in Maubeuge, France and in Santa Isabel, Argentina. The Kangoo is the first panel van to exclusively use the chassis from a family car (the first combi vans where conversions of cars).It is also sold by Nissan in Latin America and Europe as the Kubistar. When the windows and rear seats are removed it can be used as a van. It can be converted for wheelchair access. Both models of the kangoo are sold with four wheel drive, raised ride height and altered styling. A lengthened version is also sold, with more space, as well a pickup version. In some parts of the world the Kangoo is made in Nissan plants.
