RENAULT KANGOO (1999 – TO DATE)雷诺kangoo(1999欧元Â"至今)
It?s easy to get dewy eyed with nostalgia when remembering the Renault 4.?收盘容易带露睡眼惺忪怀旧在追悼雷诺4. Tough as old boots, about as sophisticated as a thumb in the eye and with styling more akin to a henhouse than a car, it had a certain peasant charm.强硬的旧皮靴,作为一个成熟的眼睛、拇指与造型更像一个棚舍比车它某农民魅力. The Renault Kangoo has taken the basic ingredients and given them a new twist.雷诺kangoo已基本成分,并给予他们一个新的转折. Based on a van but with additional fenestration, the Kangoo offers cheap and cheerful transport with good luggage capacity.但基于面包车额外开窗,kangoo提供廉价、开朗好行李运输能力. It was fair to assume that as long as you didn?t expect sophistication you wouldn?t be disappointed.这是公平的,只要你以为雾化?笔指望你wouldn高明?笔会大失所望. But does a used Kangoo offer anything over, say, a marginally older family estate?但是否使用了超过kangoo提供什么,比如一个稍微年长家庭财产? In a rapidly growing sector where mere appliance of the word ?lifestyle?在迅速成长的行业,仅家电字?生活方式? is a means to bump up the prices, the unpretentious Kangoo entered near the bottom and aimed to stay there.碰了一个价格手段,进入附近的底部和架子kangoo目的住在那里.

HISTORY历史
Although the British public were slowly getting used to the idea of small vans with windows, the Kangoo was something different again.虽然英国公众慢慢透露出的想法与小货车窗kangoo有所不同的. For a start, the name took some adjustment.作为一个开始,采取了一些调整为名. Kangoo?kangoo? Was this the start of a trend by Renault for names based on antipodean fauna minus a middle syllable?这是一个新趋势的开始为雷诺的名字基于香江动物零下中间音节? Would the market be flooded by Renault Bancoots, Kolas and Plapuses?市场将被淹没的雷诺bancoots,kolas和plapuses? Fortunately not, and the Kangoo name gradually became accepted, mirroring the cars light-hearted, almost ironic nature.幸好没有,而kangoo名字渐渐接受类似轿车轻松,几乎讽刺性. The styling was something of an acquired taste too.后天的造型有所品味. Renault billed the car as its ?Practical Joker?雷诺汽车作为其帐单?实用joker? but the joke appeared to have been played on the Kangoo, wearing as it did a face that looked as if it had just sat on a drawing pin.但似乎已经起到笑话>kangoo,穿着像一个面对镜头仿佛刚刚坐在一张图宾. Nonetheless, it was certainly more distinctive than Citroen?s blandly styled Berlingo Multispace.尽管如此,这当然比富康更鲜明?收盘干脆摆开berlingo多尺度.
It?s certainly true that the French have done basic rugged transportation better than anybody else.?当然,法国的基本凹凸不平做运输高人一等. Rural France wouldn?t be the same without the sight of Citroens 2CVs, Renault 4s and Peugeot 104s chugging back from the boulangerie in the morning.法国乡村wouldn?笔是一样的景象citroens2cvs,雷诺和标致-24/25定点悬念从boulangerie在上午. The basic engineering involved suited the rustic way of life, but things change.工程涉及的基本适合质朴的生活方式,但事情的变化. When the Kangoo was launched in the UK, the range consisted of two models, both with engines that the whilst not state of the art, were nonetheless a long way removed from the state of the ark mechanicals of French cars of yore.当推出kangoo在英国,射程共分两个型号双方虽然没有引擎的现状、如此漫长的方舟从国家机电法国车样貌. Available with a 1.4-litre petrol engine developing 75bhp and a 65bhp 1.9-litre diesel, both borrowed from the Clio range, the Kangoo?s key market advantage came through the provision of five doors at a time when the chief rival from Citroen was only equipped with three.可与一个1.4公升汽油引擎及开发75bhp65bhp1.9公升的柴油,无论是借用Clio型射程kangoo的?收盘重点市场优势,通过提供来到五门的时候,从行政对手富康配备三只.
Both engine options were available in basic RN guise, although the 1.4 was also offered with a slightly better equipped RXE trim level.可供选择的两种引擎基本6.6%幌子,虽然还开办了140略胜rxe装笔挺的水平. In March 2000, a 1.4 Alize limited edition version was launched, plugging a gap between the RN and RXE.2000年3月,一个占地1.4流通业限量版推出,堵塞了6.6%和rxe差距. A 1.4 Helios limited edition model was introduced in July, boasting, as its name suggests, twin sun roofs, thus aiming to negate the Citroen Berlingo Multispace?s USP ?一个1.4太阳模型限量推出7吹嘘,顾名思义,双太阳屋顶,因此,旨在否定雪铁龙berlingo多尺度?收盘药典? its full length electric sliding sunroof.它全长电动滑动天窗. September 2000 saw the fitment of Renault?s RAID anti-intruder device.2000年9月看到车头雷诺?收盘空袭反入侵装置. In 2001 the trim levels were rationalised to a sole Authentique version and the engine selection was altered.在2001年的水平降低到一个合理的唯一选择是authentique版本和变造引擎. Buyers now chose between the 1.6-litre 16v petrol and a 1.9-litre 80bhp turbodiesel.现在买家之间选择了160公升汽油与16v了1.9公升80bhpturbodiesel. The Trekka 4x4 version was launched with the same choice of powerplants and Nissan-sourced all-wheel drive menchanicals.trekka推出的四轮驱动版的相同选择发电厂、尼桑源全部轮驱动menchanicals. From the spring of 2004 onwards, all Kangoos came with ABS brakes and by the autumn of that year a 65bhp version of the 1.5 dCi powerplant was available.从2004年春季开始,所有前来与ABS的刹车和kangoos同年秋天了65bhp1.5版协会提供动力.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Practicality and lots of it.它的实用性和地段. What?s notable by its absence is any semblance of wry design, clever foldaway seating arrangements and the latest high-tech engines.什么?收盘显其无任何像样歪设计,巧妙安排座位折叠及最新高科技引擎. What the Kangoo offers are hardwearing wipe clean surfaces, rugged cargo nets, huge luggage bins and a vehicle built to withstand a hard life.办的是什么kangoohardwearing擦干净表面凹凸不平货运网汽车、建大箱行李顶住十分辛苦. If you already have one of the current generation of mini MPV s on your driveway, ask yourself when you last rearranged the interior seating into a conference table facility or indeed even filled all the seats.如果你已经是这一代的小巡逻艇收盘您行车、当你想想自己的座位上重新成为会议桌内部设施甚至连填补全部席位. Probably shortly before you wondered where said passengers luggage was going to go.也许你不知道那里说前不久乘客行李准备去. No such problems exist with the Kangoo.没有这个问题存在与kangoo.
Inside, it's fairly utilitarian - though that's intentional: you can clean the interior with a hose if you really want to.内,它的相当功利--虽然立意:你可以用干净内政部软管,如果真要. If necessary, the rear bench pivots forward to convert the Kangoo from people carrier to a 2600-litre estate.如有必要,法官基点后方向前把人传送到一个kangoo从2600年公升遗产. Moreover, thanks to those sliding side doors, it's a lot easier to access the space.而且,由于这些方滑门,它的好办进入太空. Any further versatility depends on whether you've paid extra for the plusher RXE model, which adds a 60/40 split-fold for the rear seat and a roof-mounted stowage rack inside the cabin.再多才多艺要看你付出额外的车窗rxe模式60/40增添了分裂倍和后座的屋顶装架装载在机舱. You also get the centre three-point rear seatbelt which really ought to be standard on the RN given the likelihood of three children being in situ across the rear bench.你还得到中心三点后排安全带标准应是真正的6.6%给予可能性横跨三个子女被留守原位台阶.
Other items exclusive to the RXE include a passenger airbag, electric front windows, remote control central locking, electric mirrors and an upgraded stereo.其它项目包括一个专属的rxe乘客安全气囊,电动前窗,中央遥控锁、立体声电镜性能提升. Alloy wheels, ABS and air conditioning are all optional.合金车轮ABS的空调都择. Useful touches include the protective mouldings that surround the car and resist the knocks and scrapes of city life.有用的防护模,涉及包括汽车、抵制磕磕碰碰包围城市生活和擦伤. Then there are the interior rubber mats that can be taken out and placed under the tap.再就是内政部橡胶垫可以取出置于塔. And the rear tailgate that opens upwards high enough for someone over 6ft5" to stand underneath in a rainstorm. There are cheaper umbrellas about but few will seat five people.而后座栏板高度不够,有人开了6ft5向上"站立在底下暴雨.还有更便宜的雨伞约五人,但很少人会席位.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Used prices for the Kangoo are beginning to settle after initial market confusion.用价格为kangoo开始初步解决后,市场混乱. A 1999 V registered Kangoo 1.4 RN will command around £3,600 whilst an RXE will be valued at just over £3,900.1999年4月1日第五kangoo注册护士3600英镑左右,而将指挥的rxe将价值超过3900英镑. Expect to pay around £3,900 for similar vintage 1.9 diesel models.预计支付约3900英镑9月1日建成类似型号的柴油. Insurance is a reasonable Group 4 for all models bar the 1.4 RXE which insurers rate at Group 5.保险是合理4组所有型号的140杆rxe保险公司率组5. No need to cancel the Florida holiday just yet, then.不必取消刚刚佛罗里达度假,但当时
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
As with all cars that get used to ferry children back and forth, check for rips, stains and other damage to upholstery and minor trim parts.如所有车惯孩子来回渡船、支票核糖,污渍等座垫及轻微损坏部分修剪. This isn?t such a great problem in the Kangoo because it?s so utilitarian that only the most demonic child will be able to damage.这肖国?笔kangoo这么大的问题,因为它?收盘功利,只有这样最能伤害孩子的魔鬼. Have a good look at the load bay area, as many Kangoos will have been used for some pretty heavy duties.有一个好的负载湾区看看,正如很多kangoos将被用于一些相当沉重的责任. The fascia mouldings aren?t anything to give BMW sleepless nights and it?s possible to lose coins, keys and credit cards between ill-matched mouldings and down into the fascia innards.筋膜模西哈莫尼?什么笔给宝马不眠之夜它?收盘可能失去钱币钥匙和信用卡之间缺乏配合下进入筋膜及模机头. The mechanicals are proven technology and shouldn?t cause any significant worry.机电技术都不应该是行之有效的?笔造成严重忧虑. Despite this, check for its service history but even if it?s not completely pristine, the Kangoo can usually cope.尽管如此,检查服务历史,但是即使?原始的不完全,通常kangoo可以应付. Just get it in to the garage for a once-over after purchase.在刚刚获得了一个车库一度超过购买后.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Estimated prices, based on a Kangoo 1.4RN) Coming from a commercial background where spares prices are a more significant part of the buying process, spares are very reasonable indeed.(估计价格基于kangoo1.4rn)来自商业背景下备件价格更重要的一部分418进程备件是非常合理的. New front brake pads £50, with rears coming in at about £45.新刹车皮阵线英镑50英镑左右,与抚养进来45. A new radiator is around £175, whilst a new air filter is around £14 and spark plugs are around £5 each.新散热器是175英镑左右,虽然新空气滤清器是14英镑左右火花塞是每件五英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Kangoo's platform is based on that of the Renault Clio, which means that it's wonderfully agile around town, with light quick power steering, short gearing and great visibility through those huge windows.<kangoo的平台,是基于对RenaultClio型,这意味着它的周围极其敏捷镇光动力转向快、短、大齿轮能见度通过这些庞大窗户. It isn't quite as confident as its supermini stablemate on the open road however - for many of the same reasons.这不是很自信,因为它作为超小型的开放道路stablemate然而许多相同的原因. The short gearing means you have to swap cogs regularly and the tall, thin, glassy profile can make it a little susceptible to crosswinds.短期负债是指你要经常调剂部件和高大身材,玻剖面可以使小易横.
Compensation comes in the two powerplants on offer, also lifted directly from the Clio.在谈到赔偿额两个发电厂,也解除直接从Clio型. Opt either for a 65bhp 1.9-litre diesel or a 75bhp 1.4-litre petrol unit.要么选择了65bhp1.9公升柴油或75bhp1.4-公升汽油股. The diesel makes more sense, travelling as it does five miles further on every gallon and endowed as it is with an extra dose of mid-range pulling power.柴油更明智,它再行驶5英里每加仑,赋予它额外剂量中程拉动力.
OVERALL 总体
There?s no doubt that viewed logically, a nearly new Renault Kangoo has to be one of the most cost-effective ways of transporting the family and their luggage.?毫无疑问,从逻辑的,kangoo有将近一个新雷诺是最符合成本效益的方式运送行李家庭. It has a cheeky charm which helps you forgive its shortcomings.它有温馨帮助你原谅自己的缺点魅力. Its vast load area, no-nonsense rubber matting and many stowage bins means it can carry gear that far bigger vehicles would baulk at, yet somehow the paucity of bells and whistles scarcely seems to matter.载荷面积广阔,不尚空谈许多橡胶垫及装载方式能携带齿轮箱,远远便退缩在车辆、但是有点缺乏编钟、笛似乎很少事情.
Although the price makes it an economical used choice, many will question whether something like a slightly older Mondeo Estate makes a better buy.虽然价格使得节约使用选项许多人会质疑,又像是稍年长蒙迪欧地产作出更好的购买. If you plan to cover long distances, then the answer would have to be yes.如果你打算将长途话,答案是肯定的. If, on the other hand, you like the idea of driving a car that?s still barely run in and that will still be running well after the Mondeo has shuffled off this mortal coil, the Kangoo could be the answer to a question you hadn?t thought to ask.如果,在另一方面,你喜欢开车?收盘仍勉强仍在逃,办好后已经踢过这个致命线圈蒙迪欧、kangoo的可以回答你的外形?笔以为问.
