The Kangoo is a small work van that is sold in France, but Kolle has come out with a conversion for the van turning it into a ute-like beauty. I imagine that the Santa Cruz would be going after a similar customer except the Santa Cruz has much more design to it.
The Kangoo ZE is also an electric vehicle producing zero emisions. It has 59 HP with 226 Nm of torque. The range comes in at 170 km, which isn't bad but also isn't amazing.
I wonder if the Santa Cruz may also try for a EV or hybrid model. And I also see that the Kangoo isn't sold in the US, which may also mean that the Santa CRuz won't be as well.
Sure the Kangoo is more utilitarian, but they are definitely in the same circle I would say. At least worth mentioning since its not like this type of vehicle has many examples of iit floating around these days.

This doesn't come from Renault like this. Its an aftermarket custom conversion where they cut the roof off of the van. That's why the tail lamps are in such an odd location. That's where they are mounted on the van.
Ahh I see. I was wondering why the tail light were in such an odd looking position. That's why a thought a canvas clipped onto the two out of place edges. Didn't really see much design in it.
Yea, it is really ugly. But remember that it is a work van so when you compare it to other utility full size vans it doesn't look quite so bad, although it still really isn't up to par.

With the latest spy photo of the Santa Cruz's body being released, I've been thinking about what its biggest competitor is going to be once it hits the market.
My guess is that it's going to be the Ridgeline because it looks the most similar. But I can easily see it giving the Nissan Frontier...

In an effort to better compete with newcomers in the segment, Nissan has confirmed that the next generation Frontier will be getting a heavy facelift. It will still run on the same aging F-Alpha platform but they claim it will have a 'futuristic' look. If it gets a new engine, odds are it will...
