The case started by 3 brothers in France in 1899, has already become a decade later in a very profitable business, and now Renault is the 4th largest automaker in the world due to its partnership with Nissan in the form of a Renault-Nissan holding company, and today Renault cars are collecting In many different parts of the planet on different continents. There are plants on the assembly of Renault and in Russia, and not even one, because the brand is very popular in our country.

In Russia, the Renault Avtocontracene presents a subsidiary Renault-Russia (known as "Autoframos" until 2014), which began its work in our country since 1998. Renault-Russia, therefore, represents its own automobile plane, which is actually a joint venture with the Government of Moscow. Here the assembly of several Renault models among Russians at once has been established. In addition, Renault cars are also collected at the AvtoVAZ plant - the Renault Assets are located 25% of the shares of the largest Russian automaker.

Thus, among the largest auto plants, where they produce and collect Renault, the following should be highlighted:

• Romanian plant produces cars mainly for the entire European market. Renault Romanian assembly cars can be found in Russia.
• AvtoVAZ - Cars for Russia are collecting here.
• Automobile Plant "Renault-Russia" near Moscow - the assembly of most Renault models is established here, and this is the largest supplier of ready-made machines to Russia
• Avtozavod in Brazil - from here cars brands do not reach Russia.
• Indian Auto Festival - Renault production has been established here for the domestic market, as well as for a small range of Asia and Africa.

So, now let's find out where they collect Renault cars directly in models.

Where are Renault Logan?

The most popular model of Renault cars in Russia, Logan, won such status, largely due to its cheapness and in general the price / quality ratio as an excellent alternative. The inexpensive price for Renault Logan, in turn, is a consequence of the practically full-cycle Russian assembly of the model at once on two automobiles: at the Renault-Russia plant near Moscow and AvtoVAZ.

As for the quality of the assembly and what kind of Renault Logan assembly is better, then this issue is widely open - only the Logan generation of 2014 is collected on AvtoVAZ, and in Moscow the model is collected much longer. In addition, the assembly cycle is deeper in Moscow - only panels and knots come here, and welding, directly assembly, and also produced in Russia. However, despite such a difference in the assembly processes, the disadvantages of both assemblies are almost the same: the screens and uneven gaps between body details, although such disadvantages show themselves, of course, far from all Logan cars.

Where are Renault Sandero?

Another well-selling car in Russia - Renault Sandero and his "older brother" - Sandero Stepway, began to be sold in our country in 2009; And immediately Russian assembly. At the factory "Autoframos", now Renault-Russia under Moscow has been established almost a full cycle of Renault Sandero car.

Where are RENAULT DUSTER?

And here is the most popular and one of the most inexpensive (perhaps the most inexpensive among crossovers not Chinese and not Russian production) crossover and the most-selling Renault Parcatenter not only in Russia, but also around the world. No wonder the car is assembled on all major Renault auto plants, including at factories in India, Brazil, India and others.

In Russia, Renault Duster collect all at the same Renault-Russia plant near Moscow. Its conveyors are designed to release more than 150 thousand cars per year, fully ensuring the demand for the model in our country and even the neighboring abroad.

Where are Renault Megane?

The oldest model of the company, Megan, pleases motorists in our country since 1996, when the car came to replace the outdated Renault model 19. Since then, the car survived three generations and even more restyings, and where only this model was not going to! But let's in order.

The first generation of Megan was the "purebred" Frenchman - a car for Russia was going on the Autonomous Doue in the north of France. In addition, for some other markets, the first generation of Renault Megan was also produced in the Spanish city of Palencia. And since 2002, the light saw the second generation of the car. The car was produced simultaneously in three countries: a sedan in Turkey, a wagon in Spain, and the hatchbacks are all in the same France, but after the redesign there was an assembly of Renault cars in Turkey - on the Oak-Renault automobile plant in Under the city of Bursa. From now on, and in 2011, Megan was supplied to Russia, collected in Turkey. The third generation was also collected in Turkey and for some time in Russia - from 2012 to 2013 - at the factory "Autoframos". And, since 2014, after restyling the third generation, Megan again began to gather in Russia near Moscow.

Where are Renault Fluence?

One of the youngest models presented in the Russian market and in general in all over the world, Renault Flyuens, first saw the light in 2009, but the Russians first met with the model in 2010, when her release was adjacent on the automotive industry, which then was called "Autoframos "(now Renault-Russia). In addition, almost simultaneously with sales of fluence of the Russian assembly, cars began to be imported to Russia and from Turkey, where they were going on the Oak-Renault automobile plant. And in 2013, after restyling, Fluence for Russia is also collected in South Korea at the Renault plant.

Table: Where are the Renault models?

As a rule, in the automotive world, powerful and expensive cars enjoy great reverence. But the new Renault Kangu 2019 does not apply to them. The Renault Kangoo 2020 model is a budget car, but in quality fully corresponds to its price tag.

Universal attention was constantly chained to a powerful car, they are traded at auctions, they are stored in expensive collections. But the automotive economy, and just the economy holds on completely other cars, unpleasant at first glance, but truly practical and useful. Not such expensive at the price, but no less valuable. Such as Renault Kanga.

So, Renault Kangoo. In fact, it is a small commercial car from the French manufacturer. In 1998, the company's management announced the start of sales of the first generation model, accentuated on business and small freight. The car was quite well sold, so in 2003 a solid restyling was produced, and in 2008 the world saw a new generation of car - Renault Kanggu 2. The model received a new line of engines, both diesel engines and gasoline.

The choice of Renault Kong was offered motors, a volume of 1.2, 1.4 or 1.6 liters (gasoline), capable of sufficiently dynamically, compared to the diesel engine, to overclock the car. However, diesel versions of 1.5 DCI and 1.9 DCIs, which are extremely small fuel consumption, were more popular on domestic expanses. Such versions could spend from 4.5 to 6.5 liters per 100 km run. As a box, it was possible to order or a 5-step automatic, or a 4-range automatic machine. Among other things, there are versions of both with front and full-wheel drive.

Today, the second generation Renault Kangoo has long been removed from the conveyor and find this model is possible only in the secondary market. So the price in Russia begins with the retaliation of 220-230 thousand rubles for cars of the first anniversary of release. For the sum of about 700-750 thousand, you can buy a fairly fresh used Reno Kanggu in good condition with a slight mileage and in a good configuration.

Description of the appearance

The Renault Kangoo model was not bad for the standards of commercial vehicles. Therefore, the leadership in 2013 announced the start of sales of a substantially modernized model - thoroughly recycled and improved. Moreover, the changes affected all areas - ranging from the appearance, and ending with the running part and the engine.

Also look at and.

So, Renault Kanga got a new body. Who said that appearance for commercial vehicles is unimportant? Designers Renault Kangu thought otherwise. The exterior of the car deserves very flattering reviews. Renault Kangu can now be called expressive: large headlights, massive front bumper nontrivial shape, chubby wheeled arches with small cute wheels - all this creates a very pleasant image. The picture complements the spectacular rounded line of lateral glazing and large vertical stop signals on the fifth door.

The overall style of Renault Kangu is descended perfectly. However, it is advisable to buy a car in bright colors of the body - so it looks more expressive. Although there is no hint of aggressiveness or dynamics, but it does not need such a car. The car looks extravagantly and dying. Absolutely in the spirit of French cars.

Finding into the salon, you still have a lot of reasons for the defense of the owners who bought Renault Kangoo 2019. The places here are really enough, the finish, like the selection of materials - worthy, and the view is pleasing to many stylish little things and accessories. Overview from the driver's seat is not bad - the racks close not so much space, and the rear view mirrors have a large area. Landing can be adjusted for itself - the benefit of the settings is enough.

The trunk is huge

Seat is soft to not get tired in a long road. The lever of the gearbox is located on the catch of the cockpit and it is quite convenient enough to reach it. On the rear seats in the abundance of free space, and the absence of a transmission tunnel allows you to accommodate three passengers with comfort. The trunk pleases with huge opportunities for transformation, as well as a smooth floor, generated when folding the second row of seats.

From the deficiencies of Renault Kong (in the photo) it is worth noting a modest basic equipment. For the standard configuration, the central box for the front row is assumed, the ABS system, a hitch and a bit of smallest things. And adjustment by seat height, boxing for the second row of seats, cruise control and even the air conditioner will have to be ordered for a fee.

Gasoline diesel or electricity

The latest version is equipped with two versions of engines - gasoline and diesel. A gasoline unit, a volume of 1.6 liters can give about 100 hp. at 145 n / m of torque, and diesel 1.5 - 86 hp and 20 n / m, respectively. Motors Renault Kangu 2019, of course, do not shine with technical characteristics, but their trump card is clearly not in that. Their benefits are low fuel consumption. So, the engine appetite does not exceed 6 liters per 100 km, and the gasoline motor consumes no more than 9 liters.

But, the main chief of Renault Kong of this generation is the presence of a new version of Renault Kangoo Ze. This variation has a greater length - 4666 mm, which has been positively affected by the luggage compartment. It has grown to 3.4 cubic meters. m. And the main feature is an electric motor issuing 60 hp and possessing the stroke of about 170 km.

In motion, it is pleasant and obedient (see video test drive). Of course, it's not so easy to achieve a sane dynamics from it, but this car was created completely with other purposes. Long-freight informative clutch makes it easy to dose traction at the start.

The Renault Kangoo box does not give a reason for negative reviews - the transmissions are turned on clearly, the lever does not hang out, and the suspension has sufficient energy intensity to soften the irregularities on the road, and the road clearance allows you to overcome all obstacles, like lying police or small and medium-sized bumps.

Most commercial cars are very similar to each other. However, Renault Kangoo I is one of the few in the classroom who has all-wheel drive modification and first suggested the sliding rear doors.

History of the model

Technography Renault Kangu began in 1997, when the French presented their futuristic prototype Pangea during the exhibition in Geneva. The serial version of the model appeared in car dealerships a year later. And although externally, Kango was not very different from the conceptual pangea, in technical terms the difference between them is huge.

In the same year, the French began to offer a special "off-road version" PAMPA, which after the first facelifting in 2001 was equipped with a full drive. This is a very interesting decision, given that few competitors have such an option. PAMPA is characterized by additional black plastic linings, increased clearance and toned headlights.

At first, the car was offered only with one rear sliding door. A year later, the manufacturer set the sliding doors on both sides. Such a practical decision did not offer any of the competitors for some time. In 1999, the French delifer became the most popular class in the class not only in France, but also in other European countries. In terms of sales, it even pushed minivans and minibuses.

Two years later, in 2001, Renault decided to rejuvenate Kangoo I and conducted a solid restyling. What has changed? First of all, headlights, hood, radiator grille and front bumper. A little adjusted the rear lights, and began to use higher quality plastic. The insulation of the cabin has noticeably improved.

Two years later, Renault conducted another modernization. This time changes were purely cosmetic. The production of the first generation model was completed in 2008, with the advent of the second generation change. The car was going not only in France, but also in Malaysia, Argentina and Morocco.

R4 1.9 DCI (82-86 hp)

The range of power units seems rich, but the list of offers clearly lacks higher power engines. On the other hand, in the car of such a plan, the dynamic characteristics usually depart into the background. Not all of the above versions are available in our market. Which of them are worth choosing?

Preferring gasoline engines to determine easier. Regardless of the selected engine, only one problem will have to be addressed - short-lived ignition coils. Weak 1-liter motor You are unlikely to find, as well as a "sleepy" volume of 1.2 liters. There is no attention to the 1.4-liter unit, which has the tight power, as the 16-valve 1.2 liter, but consumes much more fuel. In terms of dynamics, the best is 1.6 liters: allows you to achieve the first hundred in about 11 seconds. Unfortunately, he asks a lot of gasoline - about 10 l / 100 km, and at large runs it is necessary to be prepared for replacing the gasket under the head. The cost of such an operation together with the replacement of the timing belt is about $ 500.

Those who choose diesel face dilemma: make a bet on stability or dynamics. Most will definitely prefer less power and higher reliability. For them, it is best for 1.9 DTI - it is rarely found. It is deprived of serious shortcomings (with large runs may refuse the TNVD - 200-500 dollars) and is very economical, but it does not work well with the weight of the car and rather noisy. In addition, the car with this engine has a low-efficient heating system. In severe frosts, glass is often frozen. Atmospheric 1.9 D was widely distributed - a real workhorse, but too slow.

If someone is important than the dynamics, it is worth paying attention to DCI units that differ in very soft work. Unfortunately, in samples with large runs, it becomes increasingly faced with the failure of the nozzles, the fuel pump, the turbocharger (about 500 dollars) and the valve of the exhaust gas recirculation system. Many of these problems have been practically lost after 2005. However, a diesel modification should be purchased only if you can allow an instance of the liner.

Constructive features

Most of the representatives of this class have a drive only on the front axle. But in the Renault Kangoo model range there was a place of the All-wheel drive version of PAMPA. Two gearboxes aggregated with engines: 5-speed mechanics and 4-speed automatic. MacPherson racks work on the front axle, and the back is a torsion beam. But the all-wheel drive version has an independent lever system on the rear axle.

Renault Kangu is a fairly safe car. In EUROncap crash tests, he earned 4 stars.

Typical malfunctions

Reliability of French cars often causes numerous disputes. Some copies are constantly broken, while others are operated without any problems. Also concerns Kango. What to draw attention to not to get to the mini slow motion?

First of all, you should carefully examine the body, exhaust system and suspension. Instances of the first years of release intensively rust. Do not forget to control the operation of the mechanism of sliding doors and the castles of the rear doors. After many years of operation, they can create difficulties.

In the guide mechanism of the drive of the sliding doors, the sand enters, which quickly flashes the moving elements.

Rails of sliding doors are quite quickly covered by corrosion.

It is also necessary to check the transmission and the engine - often suffer from oil leaks. The disadvantages include too soft transmissions. This is expressed by noticeable moves of the gearbox lever when the gas is added and reduced. Replacing the airbags under the engine and gearbox improves the situation, but completely from the "childhood illness" does not save. It is also worth seeking the cooling system that regularly lost her tightness in the vehicles of the first years.

Corrosion of the exhaust system is a common phenomenon.

In the front suspension, the racks and bushings of stabilizers, ball supports of the levers (change separately) are relatively rapidly racks. And with frequent trips to bad roads with full loading, the wheels usually goes the geometry. In the future, expensive repairs of the beam will be required. For complete regeneration, it will be necessary about 300 dollars. Detail used in good condition will cost $ 200. Medium resource beam 150-200 thousand km. The need for repair will be prompted by light knocks. The elongated version of Kangoo Maxi (or Grand Kangoo) has a modified and stronger rear suspension.

Brake discs are relatively rapidly rapidly, especially when regularly loaded.

Owners often complain about wiring problems - contact disappears. For this reason, the fault indicators are lit, most often airbags. Very often, heating glass, generator and its pulley (in diesel versions) fails. Often refuses the combined steering wheel switch and the central lock. Over time, it starts to scrip the plastic in the cabin. The fight against noises does not make any sense - you have to get used to it.

Due to corrosion of electrical connections, heating the rear window stops.

Conclusion

And yet a list of possible malfunctions is large enough. So will it be able to enjoy in moderation of the first generation Renault Kangoo? Yes, but provided that you will acquire a well-kept copy, better after the first restyling.

Prices in the secondary market range from $ 3000 to $ 8000. What does the buyer get in return? Very functional and spacious interior (trunk 600-2400 liters), comfortable suspension and relatively economical engines. The important advantage of Kangoo is a set of body versions, thanks to which you can pick up both a car for family and for work. The greatest drawbacks are the high risk of malfunction, poor quality of plastic, unsatisfactory resistance to corrosion of dorestayling versions (until 2001) and rather sluggish engines.

Over time, the mechanism of fixing the spare wheel will be thrown.
