Renault has unveiled a limited edition of its popular minivan, the Kangoo Krool, featuring a unique Forest Green matte paint inspired by spring. Only 100 units will be produced, targeting adventure enthusiasts and collectors. The car will first launch in Japan, making it a rare piece for those seeking exclusivity.
What makes the Kangoo Krool different from the regular version?
The new edition is based on the top trim level of the Kangoo but adds exclusive exterior touches. The standout feature is the matte Forest Green paint, giving the car a strong, adventurous presence. It also rides on new 17-inch sport wheels, black side mirrors, and special ‘Krool’ badging.
Interior and features
Inside, the Kangoo Krool retains the practical design with foldable seats and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Renault adds black leather seats with contrasting green stitching and rubber floor mats that are water-resistant, perfect for outdoor use.
Does the Kangoo Krool compete with SUVs?
While not a traditional SUV, the Krool targets outdoor enthusiasts. It offers spacious seating for five and a massive 800-liter cargo area behind the rear seats, ideal for camping gear or sports equipment.
Engine and performance
The Kangoo Krool is powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 130 hp and 240 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. Average fuel consumption is around 6.5 L/100 km, making it an economical family choice.
How much will the Kangoo Krool cost in Saudi Arabia?
Renault has not announced an official price for the limited edition, but it is expected to start at around 3.5 million yen (approximately SAR 88,000) in Japan. If it reaches the Saudi market through local dealers, the price could rise to near SAR 100,000 due to rarity and demand.
When will the Kangoo Krool arrive in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
So far, Renault has not confirmed plans to sell the edition outside Japan. However, given the Kangoo’s popularity in the Gulf, a small allocation may be made available later. Interested buyers should follow official announcements from Al Jomaih Automotive (Renault’s Saudi dealer) or Arabian Automobiles (its UAE dealer).
Conclusion: Is the Kangoo Krool worth waiting for?
If you appreciate unique designs and rarity, the Kangoo Krool is an excellent choice. But with only 100 units produced, it will be available for a very short time and may be limited to the Japanese market. We recommend Renault enthusiasts contact their local dealers to inquire about pre-ordering a unit.
