Renault will increase the appeal of its Kangoo light commercial van in Australia with the addition of a new diesel-powered automatic model before the end of the year.
The new model will be powered by Renault’s 1.5 litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine making 81kW and 240Nm.
The auto ‘box is a six-speed EDC dual-clutch unit, similar to that offered with the petrol-powered Kangoo Automatic launched in Australia earlier this year. Renault says the EDC unit will shift gears in just 290 milliseconds.
An ECO Mode system is standard with the new model. Renault says the system shifts to higher gears at lower RPM, cutting fuel consumption by up to ten percent.
When equipped with the six-speed manual, the Kangoo diesel’s fuel figure is 4.7 l/100km.
