Renault Adds New £19,836 Business+ Model To Electric Kangoo Range

The new version sits above the existing Business variant.

Renault says it has “bolstered” the appeal of its Kangoo ZE electric van with the arrival of a new Business+ trim level. Sitting above the existing Business version in the zero-emission small van’s range, the model is designed to offer improved driver comfort and convenience with a host of new additions.

Prices start from £19,836 + VAT once the government’s Plug-in Van Grant has been taken into account. That means the Business+ is about £600 more than the equivalent Business model, although Renault says that money gets you an extra £1,700 of goodies.

But we’ll start with the similarities. As with other Kangoo ZEs, the Business+ comes with a 33 kWh battery pack that feeds a 59 bhp electric motor. If the official economy test is to be believed, that means you get an all-electric range of 143 miles from a single charge, as well as a maximum payload of more than 600 kg and enough space to stow a Euro pallet.

You get all the Business model’s standard equipment, too, including electric windows, Bluetooth connectivity and electric door mirrors. You get a sliding load door on the left, too, and there’s a full steel bulkhead between the driver’s compartment and the load bay.
