OVERVIEW
Dual-cab utes are big business these days, and for a lot of good reasons.
You can put their rugged load-carrying capability to work during the week, and, come weekends, with space for five, they can also double-up as a family-carrier.
But what if your work situation or personal preference dictates you buy a van? Can you 'have it all' like the dual-cab crowd, or is a five-seater van too compromised by having to sacrifice load area for passenger space?
Enter the Renault Kangoo Maxi Crew, one of only two small vans on the market with a five-seat capacity.
THE INTERIOR | RATING: 3/5
- Standard features: Single-zone climate control, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, dual glazed sliding doors, rear barn doors, trip computer, remote audio controls behind steering wheel.
- Infotainment: AM/FM/CD audio system with remote audio controls behind steering wheel, USB audio input, Bluetooth phone/audio streaming.
- 1.3 cubic metres load capacity with rear seats up.
- Cargo area with seats up: 1008mm long, 1218mm wide (between arches), 1251mm high.
- Eight tie-down points in cargo area.
The Maxi Crew’s biggest selling point is its ability to fit five people plus cargo, while still having the cargo capacity of a regular Kangoo Maxi with the rear seats folded down.
