UK prices for the Renault Kangoo Z.E. 33

Customers ordering the improved pure-electric Kangoo will have two big decisions to make.

The first is whether to buy the 33 kWh battery pack outright, or lease it separately. Looking at the figures below, the latter option is probably going to make financial sense for lower mileage users who know how long they want to keep their vehicle for.

The second concerns the body type. Renault is offering the Kangoo Z.E. 33 in four guises: Van (two seats and a 3.6 m³ load capacity), Maxi Van (two seats and a 4.6 m³ load capacity), Maxi Crew Van (five seats and a 1.3 m³ load capacity) and Maxi Crew Van Cab (up to five seats or a load capacity of up to 3.6 m³, thanks to a multi-position bulkhead).

All versions are powered by an R60 motor that produces 59 bhp (44 kW / 60 PS) with 225 Nm (165 lb/ft) of peak torque. While performance is unlikely to be a primary consideration, a 0-62mph (100 km/h) time of 20.6 seconds (22.3 seconds for long-wheelbase models) and an 81 mph (130 km/h) top speed are not scintillating.

Class-leading range might make up for the lack of pace. Whereas the previous Kangoo Z.E. could travel up to 106 miles (170 km) according to the New European Driving Cycle, a new higher-capacity battery means that figure is now 168 miles (270 km).

NEDC doesn't necessarily reflect real-world driving, though. As Renault readily admits, a full single charge (which takes six hours to achieve using a single-phase 7 kW AC charger) should give between 75 and 99 miles (120 and 160 km) in the winter, or around 124 miles (200 km) in the summer.
