The Renault Kangoo E-Tech has arrived in Australia as a compelling solution for businesses looking to electrify their fleet with a modern and practical light commercial van. It represents a significant improvement over the previous Kangoo ZE, with upgrades in power, range, and overall utility.

The Kangoo E-Tech is available in two wheelbase options to suit different business needs. Both are powered by a front-mounted electric motor that delivers 90 kW of power and 245 Nm of instant torque, which is ideal for city driving and provides a smooth, quiet experience. This is paired with a 45 kWh lithium-ion battery, which gives the van a WLTP driving range of up to 286 km.

• The Short Wheelbase version is priced from $61,900 plus on-road costs. It’s designed for businesses that operate in tight urban environments, offering a compact footprint while still providing a respectable 3.3 cubic meters of cargo space and a payload of 523 kg.
• For an additional $2,000, you can opt for the Long Wheelbase version, priced from $63,900 plus on-road costs. This model is approximately 400 mm longer, which translates to a more generous 4.2 cubic meters of cargo volume and a significantly higher payload of 668 kg.

Both variants are equipped with a suite of modern features, including an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital driver display, and a comprehensive list of safety and driver-assistance systems. The Kangoo E-Tech also supports DC fast-charging up to 80 kW and comes with an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty, giving businesses peace of mind. With its improved capabilities and versatile options, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech is a serious contender in the growing Australian electric van market.
