This first generation Kangoo built upon the success of Renault's previous light commercial vehicles, offering a spacious and versatile cargo area while maintaining a manageable size for urban driving. The Kangoo I's design emphasized functionality, featuring a high roofline for ample headroom, wide-opening sliding side doors for easy access, and a rear door that could be opened in a variety of configurations, including a full 180-degree swing for maximum loading ease. The Kangoo I's innovative "cab-forward" design placed the driver's seat further forward than traditional van layouts, maximizing cargo space and providing excellent visibility. Beyond its practicality, the Kangoo I was also offered in a variety of passenger configurations, catering to both families and professional users. The "Kangoo Express" variant offered seating for two passengers and a large cargo area, while the "Kangoo Combi" provided seating for five passengers in a more comfortable configuration. Powertrain options included a range of petrol and diesel engines, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Despite its relatively simple construction and unassuming appearance, the Kangoo I proved to be a reliable and durable vehicle, earning a reputation for its robust build quality and low running costs. The Kangoo I's success laid the foundation for future generations of the model, solidifying its position as a leading player in the small van segment.
