Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

On sale in the UK at long last, Renault's new Kangoo covers a far wider slice of the market than its predecessor.

It is on offer with two wheelbases the short-wheelbase model is known as the Compact and does not get the most powerful diesel option with a cargo area of from 2,3 to 30m3. Maximum payload capacity ranges from 500kg to 800kg.

Car-like standards are on offer from Kangoo, says Renault, since it is based on the Scenic car platform. Standard equipment includes ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, fingertip controls for the radio/CD player, and a steel bulkhead.

On the options List you will find rear parking sensors, a sliding load area roof flap and a speed limiter.
