Conceived as a commercial vehicle not stop at nothing, the Kangoo 4×4 is an interesting evolution in the range of Renault.
Moment arrives with a gasoline engine, but will soon be ready a Diesel engine. It will be in showrooms in July.

The French brand has thought of a group of transportation professionals, for their daily needs, they require the performance of a vehicle straddling the conventional all terrain and from tourism to use.

The solution is really clever: a commercial with all-wheel drive that also can double all-terrain leisure shoes. Obviously, it is not a trialero vehicle, but not defended badly when the asphalt is left behind.

Japanese effort

Made based on the Kangoo, this 4×4 enjoys a permanent integral transmission developed by Nissan. This component, released this range, is based on an automatic transfer of torque to the rear wheels. This scheme has been baptized by Nissan as ATC, Automatic Torque Coupling.

TAC works similar to Haldex: if it detects loss of traction on the front wheels, the rear axle connected to a greater or lesser extent. You can divert all torque to the rear wheels.

This system works fully automatically and the driver does not even have to remember him.

In terms of propulsion, Renault has decided to equip the Kangoo with a gasoline engine that in November, will be complemented by a diesel.

With an angle of 27 ° with the loaded car, it’s no wonder that it can cope with very steep ramps. Taking into account that the air intake admission is situated 40 centimeters from the ground, they can face complicated wading with guarantees. Ultimately, it aptitudes all-terrain 4×4 if they wanted some cigars. In addition, it leads coated and reinforced the engine, the gearbox and the main pipes.

To complete the standard equipment, Renault Kangoo placed in the system ABS and brake assist emergency, so that the brake system is really complete. It relies on a powerful 28 centimeters ventilated discs which are mounted on the front axle.

To give an air differentiated this version of the Kangoo, the French manufacturer has introduced some changes inside. Upholstery and white watches are some of these details.

also carries four compartments with lids on the ceiling, something he shares with the rest of the Kangoo range.

The rest of the interior equipment consists of upper tray ceiling single cab, automatic closing doors to exceed 7 km / h light reading maps, centralized remote locking, front power windows with remote control impulse in the driver’s side, central dynamic three-point belt, stereo with steering wheel control, folding rear bench asiméticamente and front and side airbags.
