Design & Presence

The Kangoo Compact Van wears its utility with style — a rounded, friendly face and squared-off rear that read as practical rather than plain, with sliding side doors and a high roof that signal its van business immediately. Dimensions vary between the shorter and longer wheelbase versions (roughly 4.49–4.91 m long and 1.86 m wide), so the compact version stays easy to manoeuvre in tight urban streets while the L2 option stretches cargo capacity for longer jobs. Visual touches are restrained but modern, and the tall, upright silhouette means real-world benefits: good forward visibility and easy loading without needing a step ladder for everyday parking and delivery runs.

Interior & Usability

The cabin is built for work: durable plastics, logically placed controls and generous storage nooks make it forgiving when gloves and paperwork share the same space. Seating is comfortable enough for long days on the road and the Kangoo is available as two-seat cargo or five-seat crew versions, so a team and gear can travel together when needed. Ergonomics keep commonly used buttons within reach and an optional configurable worktop between the seats converts the cab into a usable mobile office for quotes and paperwork.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Cargo volume scales with the body: compact models start around roughly 3.0 m3 and the longest versions push toward about 4.9 m3, while payloads can approach the 900 kg mark on beefed-up spec, although typical figures sit lower depending on options. A low loading sill, wide rear doors and sliding side doors make loading bulky items straightforward, and the interior is squared off where it counts so tools, boxes or trade goods stack predictably. For most small businesses the Kangoo swallows a day’s work — ladders, crates and toolboxes — without needing a larger van.

Driving & Handling

Powertrains include diesel units of roughly 75, 95 and 115 hp and an E-Tech electric motor at about 122 hp, so performance ranges from leisurely to reasonably brisk depending on choice; the weakest diesel can take close to 19 seconds for 0–100 km/h while the electric variants are in the low 12-second bracket. On the road the Kangoo behaves like a tall car more than a truck: body roll is controlled, steering is light for city manoeuvres and the suspension soaks bumps with a bias toward comfort over sportiness. For frequent motorway driving the 115 hp diesel or the electric option gives the best balance of pace and overtaking confidence, while the smaller diesels are best for urban, low-speed duties.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Diesel consumption is officially close to 5.1–5.5 L/100 km depending on engine and gearbox, which translates to realistic mixed use figures nearer 6–7 L/100 km once payload and traffic are factored in. The E-Tech electric models quote consumption around 18.7–21.1 kWh/100 km and WLTP ranges roughly between 261 and 290 km, making them ideal for urban rounds and short interurban deliveries when daily mileage and charging access are manageable. Choosing between diesel and electric comes down to duty cycle: diesel for long runs and heavy payloads, electric for quieter, cleaner city work and lower running costs where charging is available.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Kangoo offers the practical safety aids expected in modern vans: lane keeping assistance, traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking and rear parking aids to ease tight deliveries. Infotainment centers on a touchscreen with smartphone mirroring and simple menus that prioritise calls and navigation, and optional extras include a reversing camera and telematics packages aimed at fleet management. Overall the tech is functional rather than flashy, focused on making the workday easier and tracking vehicle use for businesses.

Who is it for?

The Kangoo Compact Van suits small businesses, tradespeople and urban delivery fleets that need a manoeuvrable, hard‑working van with sensible running costs and flexible load space; the electric E‑Tech is a strong pick for city operators wanting zero-emission operation and lower noise, while the 95–115 hp diesels remain the pragmatic choice for longer routes and heavier payloads. It’s not a van for those chasing driver engagement or luxury, but it is a well-rounded, economical workhorse for buyers who prioritise utility, low running costs and a spacious, useable cargo area.
