Choose the Blue dCi manual, and there is official fuel economy of 53.3mpg on offer. Combine this with the Kangoo's 54-litre fuel tank, and there's a range of more than 620 miles, although of course a heavy payload will have a negative impact on that figure. There are emissions of 139g/km, but again, stop-start is included to help mitigate exhaust pollution when you're stopped in traffic. You can opt for the extended warranty cover, but this only takes you up to five years and doesn’t add any more miles to the allowance. This is still some way short of the maximum 10 years’ cover you get from Toyota on the Proace City. Renault Kangoo standard equipment They have to cope with scrapes, slams and damage that would leave any of us looking a little worse for wear. The tall, chunky drive selector doesn't feel as hi-tech as the drive selectors you'll find in rivals, but it does the job, while the lever moves right to select the different levels of energy recuperation. As with its electric rivals, the Kangoo E-Tech has driving modes and different levels of energy recovery. The two driving modes are Normal and Eco, with the latter limiting power to 74bhp and the top speed to 68mph to help save battery energy. Unlike an e-Berlingo or its siblings, switching between Eco and Normal modes in the Kangoo E-Tech doesn't see a sudden increase in range from the range predictor, so it's hard to gauge how much impact Eco mode has.

At a cruise, the Kangoo E-Tech is quiet and refined, with minimal wind and tyre noise. The ride is also pretty good for a van, no doubt helped by the weight of the battery ironing out the chassis somewhat. Renault hasn’t given full dimensions details for the longer Kangoo Maxi version, but has said it has a loading length of up to 3,548mm.

Whatever vehicle you’re driving, the wheels are likely to take a beating from the road all year round. The Kangoo E-Tech is the new name for what used to be called the Kangoo ZE, and it's the electric model in the line-up. This comes with a 118bhp electric motor and direct drive to the front wheels, and there's a healthy 245Nm of torque on offer, too. This electric motor is joined by a 44kWh battery - up from a maximum of 33kWh for the old Kangoo ZE - which gives the van an official WLTP range of 186 miles.

The Renault Kangoo takes a sadly all-too-familiar approach to safety equipment, with only a fairly basic offering as standard. Every van gets the following as standard: The Kangoo is alo 0.3-0.5 cubic metres bigger inside than the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Vauxhall Combo Cargo. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go – not only regulates the distance between you and the van in front but when an automatic transmission is fitted will also bring the van to a complete halt in traffic if needs be The Renault Kangoo’s cabin has gone the way that every small van has of late, by taking big influence from the passenger car world. Granted it is more in line with the sort of budget models that appear on smaller superminis than the high-end larger equivalents.

The rest of the layout is ergonomically sound, too. The high-set gear lever is easily reached and keeps space free lower down, while there are several welcome physical buttons dotted around the central console to control the major functions such as heating and the driving mode. Being able to twirl the former of these is particularly welcome if you are wearing gloves. There is no volume dial, but you can control such things via a dedicated console behind the steering wheel. Storage up front What there isn’t, sadly, is many of the clever features from the left-hand drive version of the Kangoo. That is available with a large glovebox, a system that removes the B-pillar to create a huge side loading space and a hinged bulkhead and a folding front passenger seat that gives you a large and long loadbay. The rear doors are split asymmetrically, while the standard side door has an impressive 864mm opening width. What payload does the Kangoo offer?
