The Renault Kangoo Z.E. was the market's original all-electric van, launched a decade ago to take the segment for compact LCVs into a brand new world. It lent its powertrain to its Renault Nissan Alliance cousin, the Nissan e-NV200, in 2014, but no other van was able to follow Renault's lead throughout the 21st century's second decade. Now, just as the opposition is - finally - catching up, the all-electric Kangoo LCV moves into its second generation, aiming to set standards that'll stay just beyond its competitors' reach. Now it's called the 'Kangoo E-Tech' and offers huge advances in both power and range. And, like the similar petrol and diesel Kangoos, it's also larger and cleverer inside too, both for cargo and passengers. The market's been impressed, awarding this Renault and its cloned Nissan Townstar and Mercedes Citan siblings an International Van of the Year award at launch. But will you be? Let's see.
Rarely does second generation vehicle design deliver as big step forward as is evident with this all-electric Kangoo van. We struggled to recommend its Z.E. predecessor except to businesses whose deliveries would be purely urban-based. This MK2 E-Tech model though, has a powertrain able to take you further afield, so it's just as well that the larger load area allows you to carry more cargo. As with the combustion versions of this design, we're disappointed that right hand drive models don't get the clever 'Open Sesame' pillar-less sliding door that's available on the continent. But the more versatile cabin and the folding partition bulkhead provide some compensation for that. Renault's been building electric vans for much longer than its rivals. And in this case, you have to say that really shows.
