Actually, in this case the engine is let down by the van's bulky body - the Kangoo is a small van-like people carrier.

Renaults new engines do far better in their normal passenger cars - like the Megane, where consumption according to NEDC is down to 3.5L/100 km 67mpg or 90 g/km CO2 despite higher power (dCi 110 HP).
Their petrol engines are down to 119 g/km CO2 in this car.

The NEDC cycle is far harder to beat than EPA though.
