Meet the mini minivan made for car camping
Limited-edition, priced at around 40 million KRW (approximately $30,000)
Designed to win over weekend campers
Renault has unveiled a special-edition version of its compact Kangoo minivan.
The new "Kangoo Couleur" reimagines the Kangoo as a lifestyle vehicle—not just a commercial van.
In Japan, Renault is positioning it as a way to express personal taste, aiming squarely at people who love car camping and the outdoor lifestyle.
Roomy interior tailored for camping
The standard Kangoo is about 4.49 meters long (roughly 14.7 feet) and seats five.
The larger Grand Kangoo stretches to around 4.9 meters (about 16.1 feet), offering seven seats or up to 3,750 liters of cargo space.
Instead of a single tailgate, it uses split rear doors—handy for loading gear in tight spaces and perfect for campers packing bulky equipment.
All told, the layout makes the Kangoo a smart choice for car camping and outdoor adventures.
Off‑road details give it extra grit
The exterior favors function over frills.
Unpainted plastic bumpers and steel wheels give it a rugged vibe, while LED headlights and an optional roof rack add real-world practicality.
Michelin all‑season tires and an "Extended Grip" traction mode help keep things stable on slick surfaces.
The result is a camping‑ready minivan that’s at home in the city and confident on light off‑road trails.
Priced in the low 40 million KRW range (approximately $30,000)
And strictly limited in numbers
The Kangoo offers two powertrain choices: a 1.3‑liter turbo gas engine (about 129 PS, roughly 127 hp) or a 1.5‑liter diesel (about 114 PS, ~112 hp).
Price in Japan is about ¥4.39 million (approximately $29,413), roughly 40 million KRW (about $30,000).
Production is capped at just 100 units, and buyers will be selected by lottery—adding to the model's exclusivity.
All told, the Kangoo Couleur is a tempting pick for buyers who want practical car‑camping capability with the extra appeal of a limited edition.
If Renault offered a limited run locally, it could be a great option for buyers who want a compact, car‑camp‑ready minivan.
