The Renault Express is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle (LAV) manufactured and marketed by Renault since 2024 as a cheaper, work-oriented alternative to the Renault Kangoo. The Express is based on a revised Dacia Dokker.

Overview

[edit]

History

[edit]

When the third generation Renault Kangoo was presented in November 2020, Renault also announced the expansion of its commercial vehicle range with a new model positioned as a lower-cost alternative to the Kangoo Van. Thus, the Express name, which had not been used since 2002, was revived.

For the new Express, Renault modernized the existing Dacia Dokker. It gained a new front bumper resembling Renault's other passenger car models, with a centrally placed company logo and long, slender shaped headlights. A new cockpit design was also introduced, containing storage compartments with a total capacity of 48 liters, and using an optional 8-inch Easy Link multimedia system screen.[1] Moreover, the vehicle can be equipped with an inductive charger hidden in the armrest, 3 USB sockets, 4 12 V sockets, as well as a rear view camera and a blind spot monitoring system.[2] Other parts of the body have undergone cosmetic changes, including remodeled LED taillights and redesigned door handles, while keeping the body, proportions, shapes of details, and embossing from the Dacia Dokker.[3]

Discontinuation

[edit]

In July 2024, the Express Van ceased to be marketed in the European Union due to the implementation of new safety standards which required new, electronic driver assistance system. The Express' low price and moderate sales numbers did not justify the necessary investment to keep the model alive in this region.[4]
