2018 Renault Kangoo Maxi Refrigerated Van: Engine
The Renault Kangoo Maxi is the long wheelbase version of the lighter two range van and sits just a step above the Kangoo Compact. This particular model boasts an impressive engine under the bonnet. It sports a 1.5 litre turbo diesel engine, with torque output of 81kW and 240Nm. Popular for being a manual transmission beauty, the Kangoo Maxi for 2018 took things a step further by introducing a six speed dual clutch transmission or as the manufacturers would say, “efficient dual clutch (EDC)”.
