Predecessor | Renault Express Dacia Dokker |
TheRenault Express is apanel van andleisure activity vehicle (LAV) manufactured and marketed byRenault since 2021. Based on theDacia Dokker, it is sold alongside the Kangoo as a smaller and cheaper alternative.
Presenting the third generation ofRenault Kangoo in November 2020, Renault also announced the expansion of its commercial vehicle range with a new, fourth model positioned as a smaller and cheaper alternative to the Kangoo Van. For this purpose, theExpress name, which had not been used since 2002, was revived, and theDacia marque was used since 2012.[1]
Renault has decided to end the production of theDacia Dokker in its last form, including it in its offer in a thoroughly modernized form. The Express gained a new front apron resembling passenger models of the French company, with a centrally placed company logo and long, slender shaped headlights.[2] A new cockpit design was also used, there was space for storage compartments with a total capacity of 48 liters, and an optional 8-inch Easy Link multimedia system screen[2] was used. 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.[3] Other parts of the body have undergone cosmetic changes; they are limited to remodeled rear lamp inserts, keeping the body, proportions, shapes of details and embossing from the Dacia Dokker.[4]
In July 2024, the Express Van ceased to be marketed in Europe due to the implementation of new safety standards.[5]
