Renault Kangoo, an icon in the land of the rising sun

Thousands of Japanese gather every year at the foot of Mount Fuji to share their passion and celebrate the Kangoo.

By inaugurating the segment of leisure spaces with a unique, practical design and for the first time equipped with a sliding side door, Kangoo quickly became a true “success story.” Sold in over 4.4 million units, this beautiful story has now been ongoing for 25 years in 50 countries around the world.

Since 1997, it has been manufactured in Maubeuge, with particular attention to the units that are shipped to the Land of the Rising Sun.

Of all the countries that market Kangoo, Japan is the one that celebrates it in the most original way. The national enthusiasm for this vehicle quickly grew, and as early as 2009, fans decided to create a gathering to share their passion for the French leisure space with the greatest number.

Since the first edition with about a hundred participants, more than 5,000 visitors now come to see nearly 2,000 displayed units. An annual event for the past 14 years, the Kangoo Jamboree is the largest Renault Kangoo gathering in the world.

On this occasion, the new Renault Grand Kangoo and the limited series “Urban Grey,” specially developed for Japan, were unveiled to the public.
