History shows that Renault knows a thing or two about small vans – since launching the Kangoo range in 1997, it has sold 1.4 million worldwide. And if our first few weeks with the latest model is anything to go by, this success should continue well into the future.

Why has it been so quick to impress? Three reasons – its warranty, its quality of build and materials and its driver appeal. Kangoo offers a three-year/100,000-mile warranty (first two years unlimited mileage) across the range, which is a big vote of confidence by Renault. 

Drivers are well looked after with an enormous amount of space and storage in the well-built and designed cabin, a decent driving experience, and an 85bhp engine which delivers a good combination of performance and economy.
