For a brand that was one of the front runners when it came to offering an electric van, Renault has taken its time when creating a mid-size van with a battery-powered motor. The Renault Trafic E-Tech is finally on the way to join the smaller Renault Kangoo E-Tech and the large electric van, the...
The Renault Kangoo E-Tech is the second generation of small electric van from the French company, coming at a time when many other van manufacturers are only getting around to releasing their first. The Renault Kangoo Z.E. went on sale in 2012 and now, in 2023, the E-Tech is here as a much improved...
The Renault Kangoo might have launched with the electric Kangoo E-Tech version first but, for now at least, the majority of sales will be made up by versions containing a combustion engine. Unlike many other commercial vehicles, you get a choice of both petrol and diesel engines in the Kangoo in the...
The Renault Master first went electric in 2018 but this didn’t mean that the brand brought out an all-new model. Instead it took the long-established Master diesel and found a way of installing an electric motor and battery without compromising the payload and practicality. It was updated in 2020,...
The Renault Master is a highly versatile large van. Available in a wide range of variants direct from the factory – including a considerable number of specialist conversions – the Master certainly gives you choice. But in 2023, the Master is also one of the oldest vans on the market, and lags...
The 2023 Renault Trafic is one that has been recently upgraded, with the most recent facelift in 2022 improving not only the way it looks outside and in, but also bringing a significant improvement in available safety equipment. We have driven the new Trafic here in the UK, as well as many previous...
When the Renault Master ZE electric van arrived in 2018, the Renault Kangoo ZE finally gained a big – really big – brother. Out went the Master’s conventional diesel engine power, in came an electric motor and a battery pack, giving the Master ZE zero emissions in motion and your business a...
The Renault Zoe Van is – as the name suggests – a van version of the Renault Zoe car. The novelty here is not just that it’s one of only two truly car-derived vans on sale in the UK but that the Zoe is exclusively available with electric power. This makes the Renault Zoe Van the smallest electric...
The Renault Kangoo ZE was the first full-production electric van, originally going on sale back in 2011. A major update in 2017 saw a big increase in the driving range, and it remains one of the most practical choices of plug-in van even now. It’s still so popular, in fact, that for 2020 Renault is...
The Renault Kangoo is a long-standing competitor in the small van segment. This second-generation version went on sale in 2008, replacing a model that was first introduced back in 1998 – so it has a well-established pedigree, and Renault is clearly confident the Kangoo formula works, given how long...
The Master is the largest offering in the Renault van line-up. This version was a popular and versatile van, offered in a wide range of configurations to suit most needs. It's solidly built and dependable, and the dedicated Renault commercial vehicle network provides a responsive and supportive...
The Trafic is Renault's medium-sized van. It goes head-to-head with the Ford Transit and VW Transporter. It's a popular panel van, though it was also available in minibus, crewcab and dropside versions. It's comfortable, easy to drive and the diesel engines are particularly impressive - the top...
The diminutive Renault Clio Van was launched in 1994 and followed its car brother in being revised in 2001, with this review dealing with the latter model. The Clio Van has remained a comparative rarity on Britain's roads and is bought mainly by courier firms and people who need to transport dogs,...
Renault’s Kangoo van entered the small van market in 1998, proving popular among small business owners looking for dependability and all-round versatility in a compact package. It competed against the Citroën Berlingo and Fiat Doblo and, despite stiff competition, proved a popular buy thanks to a...
The Renault Master's first major revision was in 1998 and was a quantum leap forward over its predecessor. However, engines were still old-fashioned diesels at 1.9-litres and 2.5-litres. It wasn't until 2001 that more efficient and refined common rail powerplants first appeared. These were offered...
There are three versions of Renault Trafic E-Tech panel van, with two lengths and two heights to pick from. This is a rarity in the electric van market, as many have to make do with one, lower height. The naming structure is relatively straightforward, with an L1H1 being the shortest and lowest,...
