Renault Kangoo II (Argentina)

}}

The first-generation Kangoo was introduced in October 1997, and was facelifted in March 2003, with new front end nose styling, especially the grille, standardised across the Renault range, with the Renault diamond mounted on a body colour panel in the centre of the grille and teardrop headlamps.

The rear windows and seats of the Kangoo could be removed, producing the panel van Kangoo Express. The Kangoo became popular with mobility-impaired people and wheelchair users due to its height and accessibility and because it could be adapted to include mounting points for wheelchairs. The rear of the vehicle is cut to allow a ramp to be fitted. A pair of front tie downs are fitted (retractable seat belts with a solenoid release to allow them to be extended, passed around the wheelchair frame and then locked back when the solenoid is switched off and they retract); this stops the wheelchair from moving back. A pair of rear tie downs with the normal clamping buckles stop the wheelchair from moving forward. A normal, long seat belt is worn by the wheelchair user.

Both the Kangoo and Kangoo Express were available in four-wheel drive versions. A lengthened version was also available, with an increased cargo area. A pickup version was sold in the Swedish market. In some countries, such as Malaysia, the Kangoo was assembled by Nissan with third row seats.

From July 2003, Wallace and Gromit starred in adverts in the United Kingdom for the Kangoo.{{cite web|url=https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/4610436.cartoon-pair-test-out-the-new-renault-kangoo/|title=Cartoon pair test out the new Renault Kangoo|publisher=southwalesargus.co.uk|date=1 August 2003|access-date=5 February 2020}}

The Kangoo Break'Up was a four-wheel drive concept car announced in August 2002 and previewed the facelift design due in 2003, together with a pick up-style rear. It was powered by a 1.6 L engine producing {{convert|110|hp|abbr=on|order=flip}}.{{cite web|title=Renault unveils Kangoo break'up, a new concept based on Kangoo|url=http://www.renault.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Communiqu%C3%A9%20de%20presse/en-EN/Pieces%20jointes/3809_CP_Z76_GB.pdf|publisher=Renault|date=2 August 2002|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120713123930/http://www.renault.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Communiqu%C3%A9%20de%20presse/en-EN/Pieces%20jointes/3809_CP_Z76_GB.pdf|archive-date=13 July 2012}}

The 4WD version of the Kangoo was introduced in 2002, and was marketed under the model name Trekka.{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/renault/kangoo/15037/renault-kangoo-trakka-4x4|title=Renault Kangoo Trakka 4x4|date=March 1, 2002|website=Auto Express}} It should not be confused with the Skoda-powered New Zealand-built utility vehicle named Trekka, which was marketed in the Antipodes for several years circa 1970.

The Kangoo Trekka's all-wheel drive system differed from the Renault Scénic RX4 in its inclusion of a Nissan-sourced automatic torque coupling "ATC", a hydraulic coupling that would engage drive on all four wheels should the front wheels start to lose traction.

This allowed the Kangoo Trekka to run in front-wheel drive in most conditions, thus saving fuel. Working in combination with the ATC, the Kangoo Trekka featured an electronically controlled "ASR" traction control system which could brake the front wheels to arrest traction loss.

The suspension on the front had longer front struts with revised coil springs, lower suspension arms were revised to a cast steel item. The rear suspension was completely revised from the standard Kangoo torsion bar suspension beam axle to a fully independent coil-sprung system with wishbones. The rear differential was centrally mounted with two driveshafts transmitting power to the rear wheels. All this was carried on a subframe which increased the ground clearance and wheel travel.

These changes gave the Kangoo Trekka a {{Convert|400|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} fording depth and 28 degree hill climbing capability. The Kangoo Trekka was marketed in the UK with a choice of two engines, the 1.6 L 16 valve petrol engine and the 1.9 L dCi common rail turbodiesel, both with a five speed manual gearbox.

In 2005, these models were priced at £12,600 and £13,600 respectively. The diesel produced a peak torque of {{Convert|133|lbft|Nm|abbr=on|order=flip}} and achieved over {{convert|7|L/100 km|mpgimp mpgus|abbr=on}} on the combined (urban and extra urban) fuel consumption test.

The petrol engine had a {{convert|0|to|100|km/h|abbr=on|-1}} time of 14.3 seconds, and a combined fuel consumption of {{convert|9|L/100 km|mpgimp mpgus|abbr=on}}. The interior of the Kangoo Trekka was spartan. The rear bench seat could be folded forward to provide a {{convert|2.5|m3|cuft|abbr=on}} loading area, with better access through the sliding side doors.

The first-generation Kangoo was produced in Argentina from 1998 to 2018. The panel van production was launched in 1998, and the passenger model in 2001. It received a first facelift in 2008.{{Citation |title=Renault Kangoo celebra su 25° aniversario - ar.Motor1.com |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHgL6pekiG0 |access-date=2023-10-17 |language=en}} A second facelift internally codenamed VLL ("Very Long Life") was unveiled in 2013 exclusively for the Argentine market, featuring styling cues from Renault's then-current design language.{{Cite web|url=https://ar.motor1.com/news/471019/lanzamiento-renault-kangoo-2014/|title=Lanzamiento: Renault Kangoo 2014|date=December 5, 2013|website=Motor1.com}} It was discontinued in 2018 to make way for its replacement, based on the Dokker, after 374 591 units had been produced in Argentina for the local market, and some other Latin America countries (Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Cuba).{{Cite web|url=https://ar.motor1.com/news/476899/adios-a-la-renault-kangoo/|title=Adiós a la Renault Kangoo|date=March 8, 2018|website=Motor1.com}}

The Kangoo and Kangoo Express was/is available with a choice of multiple engines:

Some LPG and CNG variants of petrol engines have also been produced.

A badge-engineered version of the Kangoo panel van was sold as the Nissan Kubistar in many European markets from 2003 to 2009.{{cite web|title=Nissan Kubistar 1.5dCi|url=http://www.fleetnews.co.uk/vans/review/nissan-kubistar-15dci/37268/| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141022045015/http://www.fleetnews.co.uk/vans/review/nissan-kubistar-15dci/37268/ | archive-date = 22 October 2014 | work=Fleet News: Vans | publisher = Bauer Automotive | date= 1 March 2004 }} Nissan applied the "X76" model code to the Kubistar.

The second-generation Kangoo are based on the Scénic and manufactured in Maubeuge. Sales began in May 2007. A seven-seat version, which is longer by 40 cm, became available from July 2012.

They are also sold by Mercedes-Benz as the Mercedes-Benz Citan, with a revised front design, being launched in September 2012. In February 2012, Renault retired the Kangoo MPV, Espace, Laguna, Modus, and Wind lines in the United Kingdom.{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/8966273/Renault-to-cut-five-UK-models.html|title=Renault to cut five UK models|publisher=telegraph.co.uk|date=19 December 2011}}
