Where they collect Renault Kangu. Renault Kangoo I is a pure mind. Description of the appearance

I remember my extreme tour of the Baltia in the winter of 2006 for a long time. The ski-soldered ski car was too wide for my vehicle, who at that time was Renault Kangu: "Heel" simply slipped into the tatt chutes like soap in a wet bath. In order not to be in a cuvette, I was unwilling to stumbled from myself Herholm on the rally "Sweden", actively hardening the "Branca" in order to force the car to go ahead with his nose, and not by any other parts of the body. And what did these French ever thought about when they decided to sell their cargo-passenger van in Russia? The narrow "heel" is ideal for close villages of European towns, but not for most of our roads, infinitely distant from the ideal.

So, in my opinion, the most important advantage of the search extended "Kanggu" compared to the predecessor lies just in an increased more than 10 cm rings, thanks to which the car is much more confidently kept behind the road - even if it is ruthlessly used by trucks. Moreover, being built on the "Renosno-Nissanov" platform with (the one that underlies "Renault Megan" and "Nissan-Kashkin"), the car completely got rid of the manner of his ancestor to ride on the bumps, aki tennis ball, and Even without fully loading, it is quite smoothly used by the sections with potholes and cracks. Full chassis suitable for our roads.

Slow delivery service

The only possible power plant for the Russian "Kanga", consisting of an 84-strong gasoline engine and a 5-speed manual box, is completely not suitable for long-distance travel. Rerep from 120-strong "Peugeot" to "Heel", I even doubted his toast. Long-terrestrial clutch pedal and a vague mechanism of the box are still Polbie. So much worse, that Renault categorically does not want to accelerate. And this is actually very strange, because in the oldest Ipostasi "Kanga", even with 75 "horses" under the hood, be it was not hot, but ran very quickly.

In addition, the passenger versions of freight vans inherit from these short "- with pinned gear ratios - boxes that allow cheerfully to start even with a heavy backpack behind the shoulders. But no matter how I tried to stir "Kanga", the diligence of the gas pedal, turning into the red zone, the motor only snatched me in response, stubbornly refusing to accelerate the car faster. Such an inhabited behavior of Renault not only comes up with every desire to overtake at speeds over hundreds, but also in the urban environment defines you in one row with "gazelles" and other purely economic equipment. However, do not think that I downloaded Kanga Ballast in full, forcing him to carry the most allowed 525 kg. In a car, I was in proud loneliness, and I will spend exactly five times less than the maximum permissible load.

But in the thoroughly grown (180 mm in length and 160 mm wide) "Renault" so I want to immerse anything furniture! In addition, the rear doors-dispensers provoke the rear doors, allowing you to approach the ramp to the ramp, and a hefty trunk is more than 70 liters than the predecessor. However, due to the weak heart, Kanga, I would still not advise you to expose it to excessive loads.

Oh, where would it be more powerful to get a motor?

All the best - children!

I suppose the most suitable place of work for this car would be some small private school. As you know, the kinders must be transported neatly and slowly - and our "Renault" just in this and succeeded. Moreover, it looks like "Kanga" is very positive and funny: Lup-pellets and high, it would have walked for a cartoon character "cars" without additional makeup. Yes, and in the cabin he will be pleasant not only to the driver itself, who, no doubt, will appreciate the convenience of landing and the quality of finishing, but also to the younger generation. Thanks to the huge glazing area in "Kanga" you sit, as if in aquarium, watching other cars around dyingly solid fish. If the landscape outside the windows does not inspire, you can reverse the outline for the decoration of the cabin - toy on the view of the air conditioner twist, the central console with the dried stand of the stand for the gearbox lever and the bright spot of the information display. The instrument shield is decorated in the most overwhelmed way: with the onset of twilight, the speedometer is flattened from below and on top of the speedometer becomes like a mandarin, which is a whose jar of decorated with numbers. And what exactly "Kanga" is able to conquer both a large, and small passenger - so it is an incredible number of boxes, shelves and pockets, which abounds the interior of the car. And all of them are surprisingly intelligent: let's say, in the shelf above the sofa, reminiscent of the bread, you can easily remove three school backpacks.

Of course, any school jacket puzzles the question, is it worth the heater of the dressing and how much buying "Kanga" will be justified? Alas, at a price of 580 thousand rubles for the basic version of Renault, it turns out to be more expensive than competing with him "FIATA-OBLO" and "Citroen-Berlingo" - by 49,000 and 32,000 rubles, respectively. However, it is possible that the initial overpayment will be possible to compensate for the time: the factory guarantee on Kanghange is valid for three years or 100,000 kilometers from the date of purchase, and the Wello and Berlingo guarantee is limited only two years.

The new Renault Kangoo refers to the class of compact minissists, a car with a spacious lounge for 5 places, a 560 / 2,600 lithric trunk. 2 Engine gasoline 1.6 - 102 hp and diesel DCI 1.5 - 86 hp Disc brakes in front and rear. The volume of the fuel tank is 60 liters. Auto weight from 1368 kg.

Technical characteristics of Renault Kangu common with Scenic, machines are built on a common platform. The car specially prepared for Russia a high ground clearance, additional noise insulation, anti-gravine coating, an energy-intensive suspension, and the engine is ready for starting at negative temperatures.

Kangoo body reliable and safe. According to the crash, the Euroncap test car scored 4 stars out of 5.

Characteristics of KANU for diesel engine DCI 1.5 - 86 hp: Fuel consumption City / Route - 5.3 l / 100 km. Power reserve at full tank 1132 km on the highway. The maximum speed of the machine is 158 km / h, overclocking up to 100 - 16 seconds for manual transmission.

Characteristics Kanga for engine 1.6 - 102 hp: Fuel consumption city / Route - 7.9 l / 100 km. Power reserve in full tank 759 km on the highway. Maximum speed of the machine is 170 km / h, overclocking up to 100 - 13 seconds for manual transmission.

Most commercial cars are very similar to each other. However, Renault Kangoo I is one of the few in the classroom who has all-wheel drive modification and first suggested the sliding rear doors.

History of the model

Technography Renault Kangu began in 1997, when the French presented their futuristic prototype Pangea during the exhibition in Geneva. The serial version of the model appeared in car dealerships a year later. And although externally, Kango was not very different from the conceptual pangea, in technical terms the difference between them is huge.

In the same year, the French began to offer a special "off-road version" PAMPA, which after the first facelifting in 2001 was equipped with a full drive. This is a very interesting decision, given that few competitors have such an option. PAMPA is characterized by additional black plastic linings, increased clearance and toned headlights.

At first, the car was offered only with one rear sliding door. A year later, the manufacturer set the sliding doors on both sides. Such a practical decision did not offer any of the competitors for some time. In 1999, the French delifer became the most popular class in the class not only in France, but also in other European countries. In terms of sales, it even pushed minivans and minibuses.

Two years later, in 2001, Renault decided to rejuvenate Kangoo I and conducted a solid restyling. What has changed? First of all, headlights, hood, radiator grille and front bumper. A little adjusted the rear lights, and began to use higher quality plastic. The insulation of the cabin has noticeably improved.

Two years later, Renault conducted another modernization. This time changes were purely cosmetic. The production of the first generation model was completed in 2008, with the advent of the second generation change. The car was going not only in France, but also in Malaysia, Argentina and Morocco.

The range of power units seems rich, but the list of offers clearly lacks higher power engines. On the other hand, in the car of such a plan, the dynamic characteristics usually depart into the background. Not all of the above versions are available in our market. Which of them are worth choosing?

Preferring gasoline engines to determine easier. Regardless of the selected engine, only one problem will have to be addressed - short-lived ignition coils. Weak 1-liter motor You are unlikely to find, as well as a "sleepy" volume of 1.2 liters. There is no attention to the 1.4-liter unit, which has the tight power, as the 16-valve 1.2 liter, but consumes much more fuel. In terms of dynamics, the best is 1.6 liters: allows you to achieve the first hundred in about 11 seconds. Unfortunately, he asks a lot of gasoline - about 10 l / 100 km, and at large runs it is necessary to be prepared for replacing the gasket under the head. The cost of such an operation together with the replacement of the timing belt is about $ 500.

Those who choose diesel face dilemma: make a bet on stability or dynamics. Most will definitely prefer less power and higher reliability. For them, it is best for 1.9 DTI - it is rarely found. It is deprived of serious shortcomings (with large runs may refuse the TNVD - 200-500 dollars) and is very economical, but it does not work well with the weight of the car and rather noisy. In addition, the car with this engine has a low-efficient heating system. In severe frosts, glass is often frozen. Atmospheric 1.9 D was widely distributed - a real workhorse, but too slow.

If someone is important than the dynamics, it is worth paying attention to DCI units that differ in very soft work. Unfortunately, in samples with large runs, it becomes increasingly faced with the failure of the nozzles, the fuel pump, the turbocharger (about 500 dollars) and the valve of the exhaust gas recirculation system. Many of these problems have been practically lost after 2005. However, a diesel modification should be purchased only if you can allow an instance of the liner.

Constructive features

Most of the representatives of this class have a drive only on the front axle. But in the Renault Kangoo model range there was a place of the All-wheel drive version of PAMPA. Two gearboxes aggregated with engines: 5-speed mechanics and 4-speed automatic. MacPherson racks work on the front axle, and the back is a torsion beam. But the all-wheel drive version has an independent lever system on the rear axle.

Renault Kangu is a fairly safe car. In EUROncap crash tests, he earned 4 stars.

Typical malfunctions

Reliability of French cars often causes numerous disputes. Some copies are constantly broken, while others are operated without any problems. Also concerns Kango. What to draw attention to not to get to the mini slow motion?

First of all, you should carefully examine the body, exhaust system and suspension. Instances of the first years of release intensively rust. Do not forget to control the operation of the mechanism of sliding doors and the castles of the rear doors. After many years of operation, they can create difficulties.

In the guide mechanism of the drive of the sliding doors, the sand enters, which quickly flashes the moving elements.

Rails of sliding doors are quite quickly covered by corrosion.

It is also necessary to check the transmission and the engine - often suffer from oil leaks. The disadvantages include too soft transmissions. This is expressed by noticeable moves of the gearbox lever when the gas is added and reduced. Replacing the airbags under the engine and gearbox improves the situation, but completely from the "childhood illness" does not save. It is also worth seeking the cooling system that regularly lost her tightness in the vehicles of the first years.

Corrosion of the exhaust system is a common phenomenon.

In the front suspension, the racks and bushings of stabilizers, ball supports of the levers (change separately) are relatively rapidly racks. And with frequent trips to bad roads with full loading, the wheels usually goes the geometry. In the future, expensive repairs of the beam will be required. For complete regeneration, it will be necessary about 300 dollars. Detail used in good condition will cost $ 200. Medium resource beam 150-200 thousand km. The need for repair will be prompted by light knocks. The elongated version of Kangoo Maxi (or Grand Kangoo) has a modified and stronger rear suspension.

Brake discs are relatively rapidly rapidly, especially when regularly loaded.

Owners often complain about wiring problems - contact disappears. For this reason, the fault indicators are lit, most often airbags. Very often, heating glass, generator and its pulley (in diesel versions) fails. Often refuses the combined steering wheel switch and the central lock. Over time, it starts to scrip the plastic in the cabin. The fight against noises does not make any sense - you have to get used to it.

Due to corrosion of electrical connections, heating the rear window stops.

Conclusion

And yet a list of possible malfunctions is large enough. So will it be able to enjoy in moderation of the first generation Renault Kangoo? Yes, but provided that you will acquire a well-kept copy, better after the first restyling.

Prices in the secondary market range from $ 3000 to $ 8000. What does the buyer get in return? Very functional and spacious interior (trunk 600-2400 liters), comfortable suspension and relatively economical engines. The important advantage of Kangoo is a set of body versions, thanks to which you can pick up both a car for family and for work. The greatest drawbacks are the high risk of malfunction, poor quality of plastic, unsatisfactory resistance to corrosion of dorestayling versions (until 2001) and rather sluggish engines.

Over time, the mechanism of fixing the spare wheel will be thrown.
