After launching a new version of the Kangoo Z.E. in
the United Kingdom last week, Renault now has the 90 PS and 110 PS diesel versions of the van in sight, which can be had with an EDC.
EDC is Renault's slang for 'Efficient Dual Clutch',
a dual-clutch automatic transmission that promises to make the journey
smoother, thanks to a shift time of just 290ms.
The gearbox, which suits the aforementioned versions
of the 1.5-liter dCi engine, offers 'P-R-N-D' gearshift control, and an
'up/down' shift mode. It adds 28 kg in weight over the manual version,
and allows the Kangoo 90 to return 55.4 UK mpg (5.1 l/100 km / 46.1 US mpg) on
the combined NEDC cycle, while emitting 136 g/km of CO2.
Already available in the diamond brand's range of
cars, the transmission comes with Hill Start Assist as standard, and features
an 'ECO' mode, which helps improve the already-improved fuel consumption by up
to 10 percent.
Renault is already taking orders for the new Kangoo
EDC in the United Kingdom, which can be had from £ 17,395 (US$ 23,060), without
tax, in base form.
