General description
The 2012 Renault Kangoo Combi Dynamique "all road" dCi 110 FAP is a versatile and family-oriented proposition that seeks to combine the functionality of a commercial vehicle with the comfort and equipment of a passenger car. With its 110 hp diesel engine and "all road" aesthetic, it presents itself as an interesting option for those looking for space, economy, and a touch of adventure in their daily lives.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Kangoo dCi 110 FAP offers a surprisingly pleasant driving experience for a vehicle in its segment. The 110 hp diesel engine, with its 240 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm, responds capably, allowing for 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 13 seconds and a top speed of 170 km/h. The 6-speed manual gearbox is precise and contributes to a combined consumption of 5.2 l/100km, making it an efficient travel companion. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, providing a comfortable ride for all occupants. Electric power steering facilitates maneuvers in the city, while on the road it feels sufficiently firm. Despite its height, the Kangoo maintains good stability, although it cannot be expected to have the agility of a lower passenger car. It is a car that invites calm, to enjoy the journey with the family or loaded with everything needed for a getaway.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2012 Renault Kangoo Combi Dynamique "all road" is characterized by its functionality and robust aesthetic. Its lines are clearly those of a practical vehicle, but the "all road" version adds details that give it a more adventurous air, such as specific bumpers and side protections. With a length of 4255 mm, a width of 1829 mm, and a height of 1899 mm, its silhouette is unmistakably that of a compact minivan, with a large tailgate that facilitates access to the generous 660-liter trunk. The 16-inch wheels with 205/60 R16 tires complement its image. Inside, the design is simple and functional, with durable materials designed to withstand daily use. The layout of the controls is intuitive and the space for the five occupants is remarkable, especially in height, which contributes to a feeling of spaciousness.
Technology and features
Although the 2012 Renault Kangoo is not a showcase of the latest technology, it incorporates elements that improve the driving experience and safety. Its 110 hp 1.5 dCi diesel engine features common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, optimizing its performance and efficiency. It complies with Euro 5 regulations and emits 137 g/km of CO2, earning it an environmental label B. Electric power steering is a plus in the city, facilitating maneuvers. In terms of safety, it has 280 mm ventilated disc brakes at the front and 274 mm discs at the rear, ensuring effective braking. Although advanced driving assistance systems are not detailed, its Dynamique equipment usually includes elements such as stability and traction control, as well as front and side airbags, providing a solid base in passive and active safety.
Competition
In the segment of compact minivans and commercial derivatives, the Renault Kangoo Combi Dynamique "all road" dCi 110 FAP faced competitors such as the Citroën Berlingo Multispace, the Peugeot Partner Tepee, the Fiat Doblò Panorama, or the Volkswagen Caddy Life. Each of them offered their own advantages in terms of space, modularity, or equipment, but the Kangoo stood out for its overall balance, its efficient diesel engine, and its "all road" aesthetic that gave it a distinctive character and greater versatility to tackle less paved roads.
Conclusion
The 2012 Renault Kangoo Combi Dynamique "all road" dCi 110 FAP is a vehicle that more than fulfills its purpose: to offer spacious, practical, and economical family transport. Its diesel engine is a success due to its balance between performance and consumption, and its design, although functional, is enhanced by the "all road" details. It is an honest car, without great pretensions of luxury or sportiness, but it offers great value for those who prioritize space, versatility, and reliability in their daily lives. It is the ideal companion for active families who need a vehicle that adapts to multiple situations, from school transport to weekend getaways.
