Renault LCV Range Gets Updated

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 Kangoo

 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.

What Trafic Got?

Renault Trafic has received enhanced option packages for accessibility and practicality. There will be a ‘Premium Pack’ made available for the entry-specification single turbo variant.

 But for the twin-turbo diesel engine variant, the Pro Pack has been updated into Lifestyle Pack which includes deadlocking capability, auto climate, engine start/stop, LED ceiling lights, wider-view mirror, media nav, hands-free entry, heavy duty battery, heated seats and premium dashboard trim.

That is from the inside but from the outside it has got mirror backs, body-colour bumpers, rear light pillar and sliding door rail, chrome grille with gloss back Renault logo and 17-inch alloys.

What Master Got?

For the driver all Master variants have received chest and side head airbag as standard from the second quarter. On all Master light commercial vehicles, a reversing camera comes standard.

Justin Hocevar, Renault Australia Managing Director, said in a statement that “we are confident these product improvements will provide Australian van customers with even more reasons to purchase one of our vans during 2016, in addition to our extremely comprehensive reassurance programmes. These include up to 30,000km service intervals, Capped Price Services and a long 200,000km warranty.”

How Many Are Sold Worldwide?

Last year the sales of Renault LCV reached 387,000 when sold into 112 countries around the globe. Although the global market 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 which, in Asia-Pacific region, contributed to 15-year-high volumes. Find the high quality Renaultengines for sale at Replacementengines.co.uk.
