Single Cab and Dual Cab models sure to further lift booming Renault LCV range.
Renault is getting serious with its light commercial vehicle (LCV) range introducing even more new models as the French manufacturer experiences a surge in sales.
Renault Australia today announced the introduction of 3 new 4.5-tonne Cab/Chassis Master variants.
The vehicles, all rear-wheel drive, will be available in Single Cab and Dual Cab guises and will be powered by the same 2.3-litre turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine that has been offered in the Master van range since its relaunch 18 months ago.
The Dual Cab will feature an automatic differential lock as standard (optional on Single Cab). While the Master Cab/Chassis offers a 2.5 tonne payload and a 3-tonne towing capacity.
The new offerings look set to only boost a strong up take of Renault LCV’s in recent times, in fact year-to-date, Renault has delivered 1067 vehicles in the category, 70% more than for the same period in 2012.
Lyndon Healey, Renault LCV Brand Manager says the increase in popularity of the Renault LCV range this year is very pleasing.
“We have targeted the market with a series of customer-oriented features and benefits that LCV buyers really value, such as Capped Price Servicing and an impressive factory warranty,
“We are delighted that Australians are quickly discovering what their European colleagues have known for 15 years, that when it comes to LCVs, Renault has the best vehicle for the job and the balance sheet.”
“Now with the arrival of the Master Cab/Chassis range we have the ability to reach into new sectors of the LCV market, particularly the construction and agriculture industries, food transport, councils and authorities, as well as providing a strong and comfortable workhorse for tradesmen who need a large capacity tray and excellent towing abilities.” He said.
The Single Cab variant is priced from $45,490 and the Dual Cab from $50,490.
