2021 RENAULT KANGOO COMPACT SWB | 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC | BLACK | ONLY 77,050 KM
A SMART, ECONOMICAL AND PRACTICAL EUROPEAN COMMERCIAL VAN WITH A DISTINCTIVE BLACK FINISH
This 2021 Renault Kangoo Compact presents particularly well in its black exterior finish, offering a more refined and distinctive appearance than the traditional white commercial vans commonly seen on Australian roads.
Originally purchased new for use by a catering business, this Kangoo has travelled just 77,050 kilometres and combines the convenience of a six-speed automatic transmission with an economical turbocharged petrol engine.
It drives extremely well and offers an excellent balance of everyday comfort, manoeuvrability, useful carrying capacity and practicality.
THE BENEFIT OF THE 1.2-LITRE TURBO PETROL ENGINE
Powered by Renault’s 1.2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, producing 84kW of power and 190Nm of torque, the Kangoo offers responsive performance without the running costs associated with larger commercial vehicles.
Importantly, maximum torque is available from just 2,000rpm, providing useful pulling power at lower engine speeds, particularly when driving around town or carrying equipment.
The six-speed EDC dual-clutch automatic transmission provides the convenience of automatic driving, making this Kangoo particularly well suited to Melbourne traffic, frequent deliveries and everyday business use.
IMPRESSIVE FUEL ECONOMY
One of the Kangoo’s most appealing characteristics is its fuel efficiency.
Renault’s official combined fuel consumption figure is just 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres.
Official fuel consumption figures:
* Combined driving: 6.5L/100km
* driving: 5.6L/100km
* Urban driving: 8.1L/100km
* Fuel tank capacity: 56 litres
* Theoretical combined-cycle range: approximately 860 kilometres per tank
These figures make the Kangoo an appealing option for businesses looking to manage fuel expenditure, particularly where the vehicle is used regularly for deliveries, appointments or travelling between job sites.
Actual fuel consumption and range will vary depending on driving conditions, traffic, vehicle loading and driving style.
PRACTICAL LOAD SPACE WITHOUT THE BULK OF A LARGE VAN
Although compact externally, the Kangoo offers a surprisingly useful and versatile cargo area.
With approximately 3 cubic metres of load capacity and a rated payload of 540kg, it is well suited to transporting tools, equipment, stock, supplies and general business materials.
Practical features include:
* Approximately 3,000 litres of cargo volume
* 540kg rated payload
* Approximately 1,476mm load floor length
* Approximately 1,252mm internal load height
* Sliding side access door for convenient loading
* Wide-opening rear barn doors
* Cargo tie-down points
* Practical two-seat cabin configuration
The combination of side and rear access is especially useful when loading or unloading in confined spaces.
The relatively low cargo floor also makes everyday loading more manageable than with many larger commercial vehicles.
COMPACT DIMENSIONS AND EASY MANOEUVRABILITY
One of the Kangoo’s greatest advantages is its ability to provide genuine commercial carrying capacity while remaining relatively easy to drive and park.
At approximately 4.21 metres long, it occupies a footprint comparable to many conventional passenger vehicles.
Its compact dimensions, power steering, reversing camera and rear parking sensors make it particularly suitable for metropolitan deliveries, narrow streets, shopping precincts and restricted parking areas.
The Kangoo’s approximately 10.7-metre turning circle is another advantage when manoeuvring in busy urban environments.
COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE
Unlike traditional basic commercial vehicles, the Kangoo offers a number of features designed to make long working days more comfortable and convenient.
Features of this MY21 model include:
* Six-speed EDC automatic transmission
* Air conditioning
* Cruise control
* Bluetooth phone connectivity
* Bluetooth audio streaming
* Reversing camera
* Rear parking sensors
* Automatic headlights
* Rain-sensing windscreen wipers
* Remote central locking
* Electric front windows
* Power-adjustable exterior mirrors
* Multifunction steering wheel
* USB and auxiliary audio connectivity
* Practical cabin storage compartments
* Comfortable two-seat cabin
These features make the Kangoo equally suitable for everyday commuting and commercial use.
SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE
Renault has equipped the Kangoo with a range of important safety features, including:
* Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
* Electronic stability control
* Electronic traction control
* Emergency brake assistance
* Hill-start assistance
* Driver and front passenger airbags
* Front side airbags
* Reversing camera
* Rear parking sensors
* Electronic engine immobiliser
Together, these systems provide useful assistance and added confidence during everyday driving.
A WELL-ESTABLISHED EUROPEAN COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
The Renault Kangoo has established a strong international presence in the compact commercial vehicle market, particularly throughout Europe, where vehicles of this size are widely used by businesses requiring economical and versatile transport.
The Kangoo range has also received international industry recognition, including International Van of the Year awards for the electric Kangoo in 2012 and the subsequent new-generation Kangoo in 2022.
While these awards recognised other versions of the Kangoo, they demonstrate Renault’s longstanding commitment to the development of practical and innovative light commercial vehicles.
The 2021 Kangoo Compact continues that philosophy by combining compact exterior dimensions, useful carrying capacity and passenger-car-style driving convenience.

OUR IMPRESSION
What particularly appeals to us about this Kangoo is the combination of its black exterior, relatively low kilometres, automatic transmission and economical turbocharged petrol engine.
The black finish gives the vehicle a noticeably more sophisticated appearance than a conventional commercial van, making it especially appealing for businesses where image and presentation are important.
It is equally suited to a small business owner, tradesperson, catering operator, florist, mobile service provider or anyone requiring a practical, economical and comfortable compact van.
With just 77,050 kilometres travelled, an independent RACV inspection, an independent roadworthy assessment and a particularly appealing black exterior, this Kangoo is well worth considering.
