The Renault Kangoo is the pragmatic chameleon of small vans, marrying van-like practicality with carlike comfort and a cheerful, friendly face that suits both family runs and workday hauls. It's sensible, versatile and annoyingly useful — easy to live with, cheap to run and clever where it counts, so you get more space and fewer compromises than the price suggests.

Practical car with a fresh look and plenty of choices when it comes to equipment. For us it came down to a Ford and a Hyundai. In my experience the Ford Puma e felt a bit bumpier and the Inster is calmer, partly thanks to the long wheelbase. That the Ford doesn’t have a heat pump is a miss. The Inster’s coffee-break alert gets on your nerves almost immediately and apparently can’t be switched off. Hyundai blames EU rules, but there must be a solution? This misses the mark!
