IMGOO 4x4 VAN 26 May2005 Set to hit the streets in the second half of this year, the stylish new Renault Kangoo now comes in two wheel bases short and standard -to take on the likes of Ford's Connect and Volkswagen's Caddy. which also gets two sizes.
Power comes from the company's zippy 1.5dCl engine with ratings at 70. 85 and 105hp, and there's also a 1.6-litre petrol unit producing 90 and 105hp.
