The Renault Express is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle (LAV) that Renault has been manufacturing since 2021. It is derived from the Dacia Dokker platform and serves as a more compact and cost-effective option compared to the Kangoo.
History
In November 2020, Renault broadened its commercial vehicle range by introducing the new Express model alongside the third generation of the Renault Kangoo. This launch marked the revival of the Express name, which had not been used since 2002. The new model effectively replaced the Dacia Dokker with a fully updated version marketed under the Renault badge.
The Express showcases a front design that has been refreshed to match Renault’s passenger car styling, featuring a centrally placed logo and narrow headlights. Inside, the vehicle benefits from enhanced storage capacity totaling 48 liters and offers an optional 8-inch Easy Link infotainment system. Additional features designed for professional use include an inductive charging pad located in the armrest, three USB ports, four 12 V power outlets, a rearview camera, and blind spot detection.
While the rear lamp clusters have undergone a redesign, the overall body shape and dimensions remain consistent with those of the Dokker.
Discontinuation
The Express Van was taken off the European market in July 2024 as a result of updated safety standards.
