The French-born Kangoo assists people with their hobbies and lifestyle.
Vol.18 / Naoya Kawachi (THE DAY Director)

RENAULT is a leading French car brand. The Kangoo, synonymous with RENAULT, is a car with a large load space that can carry a lot of luggage and an excellent design that blends in well with both the city and nature. It is a perfect companion for both work and play, and has gained the support of many people. I've always wanted to put a bicycle in a car and go on a trip someday," says one of the owners of the fashion brand "TH". Naoya Kawachi, director of the fashion brand "THE DAY," says, "I've always wanted to put a bike in the car and go on a trip someday. With his beloved Kangoo on board, he set off for Lake Saiko, one of the Five Lakes of Fuji.

I fell more and more in love with it because it's practical and the design is attractive.

Once we had recharged our energy while worshipping Mother Nature, we decided to take the "Kangoo" for a sightseeing tour of the nearby city center as well.

There is a town called Fujiyoshida nearby, so I'm going to visit there. There seems to be a retro shopping street there, so I thought I would enjoy riding my bicycle there as well."

So, we immediately set off for Fujiyoshida. Driving while enjoying the scenery. It has a different charm from driving around the city.

When I drive the Kangoo, I feel that it is easy to see and easy to drive. It is easy to enjoy the scenery, and I think it is easy for women to drive. I also like the fact that the ceiling is high, so I don't feel oppressed when sitting in the driver's seat. I don't feel stressed when driving, so I don't have to worry about long drives.

Mr. Kawachi gripped the steering wheel tightly and strongly while looking at the direction of travel with a serious gaze. If I were to get a car, I would like a car like the Kangoo," he continued.

I was originally thinking of getting a van-type car. I wanted to put my bicycle in it. However, it would be impractical to put it in Tokyo because of parking issues, and I wanted a car that would be perfect for practical use, but that would also excite me in terms of design. In that sense, the Kangoo is well-balanced. It's practical and has an attractive design, so I fell in love with it even more when I drove it this time (laughs).

As we talked about this, we arrived at Fujiyoshida in no time. We parked the car and went pottering around town on our bicycles.
