This is how the European Renault Captur looks today
Renault Kangoo 2016 is a minivan in which the developers not only kept the multifunctional interior, but also a spacious trunk. It does not differ much from its predecessor in exterior design. Among the changes, one can highlight new headlights that have a more modern and aesthetic appearance.
In the new model, the bumper has also been changed, but the smooth lines have been preserved. The rear doors also remained unchanged, as the sliding mechanism is quite acceptable for such models. And although the changes in exterior design are not big, they still gave the car some aggressiveness. The bumper material is plastic, and the new model also has fog lights. As in other cars of 2016, the radiator grille is adorned with the company logo.
As for the interior, the changes are immediately noticeable. And first of all – on the front panel, in its main part. It looks as if a cover with instruments, as well as an information display and climate control knobs, is thrown on top. The minivan-like positioning of the center console (meaning closer to the floor) made it possible to place the gearbox closer to the steering wheel.
The top trim of the Renault Kangoo 2016 is equipped with the R-Link multimedia system, which has a seven-inch touchscreen with voice or manual control. R-Link also includes navigation, a telephony function, and the ability to connect to portable music devices. The car has a standard audio system equipped with R-Link USB and AUX connectors. There is the possibility of connecting a phone via Bluetooth, and you can listen to the radio.
