Efficiency is helped by the fact that all versions of the Kangoo are available with stop-start technology, whilst all models get an Eco button which reduces engine torque to boost energy usage by up to 10 percent. The Kangoo is also available as an all-electric ZE van which is even more efficient!

However you are able to specify a set of fold-flat passenger seats which increases load volumes to 3.5 cubic metres and 4.6 cubic metres respectively.
