The mythical Renault Kangoo joins the garage of Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 since March 27, 2025. An unusual arrival that's got gamers on fire, thanks to customization in La Poste, Darty or Dakar rally mode.

Gran Turismo 7, its Porsches, its Ferraris... and his Renault Kangoo! Improbable, you say? Well, it's now a reality for gamers, who are seeing this utility vehicle, a symbol of everyday life rather than racing podiums, appear in their virtual garages.

And so, since March 27, 2025, owners of Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 have been able to discover a most unusual addition to their virtual car collection: the first-generation Renault Kangoo, produced between 1997 and 2007. Well-known in France for its role as a delivery vehicle, this ludospace vehicle now finds itself alongside the game's most powerful models. Far from an absurd choice, this new feature is explained by the unexpected popularity of the Kangoo in Japan, where an annual rally is dedicated to it, at the foot of Mount Fuji, attracting thousands of enthusiasts.

A nod to Japanese culture and player creativity

The Kangoo isn't just a utility vehicle in Gran Turismo 7, it becomes a playground for customization. Using the in-game creation tool, players have taken this everyday icon and given it a whole new look. Whether it's a La Poste version, a Darty utility vehicle, a police car or even a Dakar rally model, there's no shortage of variations to choose from, and they all testify to an overflowing imagination.

If you've ever dreamed of turning an everyday vehicle into a real racing machine, here's your chance. In a game where performance reigns supreme, driving a Kangoo on a speed circuit becomes a form of playful irony, a thumbing of the nose at pure competition. It's also a reminder that Gran Turismo 7, beyond its realism, also knows how to play the card of diversion and humor.

An experience to be enjoyed alone, with friends or online

Whether you're looking for an unusual challenge to take on with friends, a crazy family game session or a moment of relaxation off the beaten track, the Kangoo is there for you. Imagine a night-time race where, instead of the roar of a V12, you hear the purring engines of a fleet of colorful Kangoo cars racing under the spotlights. The atmosphere is offbeat, almost surreal, but always friendly.

This initiative is aimed at both fans of the Gran Turismo saga and casual gamers looking for a refreshing experience. It will also appeal to car customization enthusiasts, those who like to tell a story through their virtual vehicle.

Are you curious? Are you a car enthusiast or simply a fan of videogame surprises? The Kangoo in Gran Turismo 7 is also an opportunity to experience a race in a different way, to shake up codes and rediscover driving from a different angle. It's also a discreet tribute to the vehicles that unassumingly shape our daily lives.
