Kangoo,
Master and Trafic Light Commercial Vans Get Updates from Renault
Renault is about to celebrate its position at the top
of the European light commercial vehicle sales tree for 18 consecutive years.
And what is the better way to do that than giving its Australian LCV range some
kit and safety updates.

Renault’s best LCVs, Kangoo, Master and Trafic are going
to benefit from these updates, like the Kangoo will be getting side head and
chest airbags as standard. Kangoo diesel engine will remain the same for now though. From
January production, a standard phone-docking module has been added to the
range.

dropped 6.3 per cent but Renault LCV gained an increase and managed to secure
3.8 per cent of global LCV market share. And thanks to the Australian success
