An image of what appears to be the next-generation
Renault Kangoo has come across our desks and, if is the real deal, it shows
that the new model has been significantly updated compared compare to its
predecessor. The pic, although in low resolution, shows the minivan finished in a dark shade of
yellow and with a look heavily inspired by the Kangoo Z.E. Concept revealed
earlier this year.
The front sports rectangular-shaped headlights that
are joined seamlessly to a horizontal chrome bar running across the front
grille, as well as black fog light surrounds in the lower portion of the
bumper. The overall shape of the new Kangoo is boxier than the outgoing model
and appears to feature silver roof rails, silver mirror caps, and a set of
sporty black and silver wheels.
No images of the new Kangoo’s rear end are
available, but from what we can see, the taillights appear to be similar in
design to those of the Z.E. Concept. The current Kangoo has been
around for more than a decade and the release of the Z.E. Concept in
all-electric guise indicates to us that the production model will also be sold
as an EV. In addition, a diesel-powered model will be available to customers,
likely powered by an uprated version of the company’s current 1.5-liter dCi
powertrain.
This photo indicates that the premiere of the new
Renault Kangoo is like just a few weeks or months away. Stay tuned.
