- fomine3 3y agoKangoo buyers in Japan also cares fashion. Japanese vans like Toyota Townace are too boring for them but Kangoo is cute.
- freetime2 3y agoYup Kangoos are quite expensive in Japan. They start at JPY 3.8M [1] The Toyota Sienta, which starts at JPY 2M, seems like a much better value for a passenger car - and I think they borrowed from the Kangoo's styling a bit for the latest iteration [2]. Or for business use a Town Ace, NV200, HiJet, etc. [1] https://www.renault.jp/car_lineup/kangoo/gps/index.html https://www.renault.jp/car_lineup/kangoo/gps/index.html [2] https://toyota.jp/sienta/ https://toyota.jp/sienta/
- rtpg 3y agoYeah, sure. If you're running some successful bakery in Kagurazaka having the nice-looking truck feels like a "fine" decision. My mental image is that Townaces are bigger, but maybe that's just my impression from the Kangoo's curves
- freetime2 3y agoL/W/H for Kangoo is 4490/1860/1810 vs. 4065/1665/1930 for the Town Ace. So probably quite a bit easier to park/maneuver the Town Ace.
