Overview of the Renault-Docker

The Renault Dokker model is a multifunctional five-seater car that can be used both for professional and individual purposes. Considering the fact that its cost is relatively low, the company-manufacturer succeeds in successfully selling cars in the European market. Unfortunately, this can not yet be said about our country, where the sales of the model are not so high.

Production

The car Renault Dokker was first introduced to the general public in 2012. As a matter of fact, the novelty became the modernized version of modification Logan MCV. From its predecessor, the car inherited almost all the strengths. Serial production is carried out at the factory of a French company in Morocco.

general description

Appearance of the car "Renault-Docker" is made in a style that has become characteristic of all the latest budget cars from this manufacturer. At the first glance at the car, a convex frontal optics and a radiator grating in the form of a trapezoid, on which the large logo of the manufacturer is located, comes into view. Dimensions of cars in length, width and height, respectively, are 4363 x 1751 x 1814 mm. The ride height is 190 mm, so the car can be called a good solution for domestic realities. In fairness, it should be noted that when fully loaded, the clearance is reduced to 153 mm. A full-size spare wheel is attached under the bottom.

The security system of the Renault-Docker model can hardly be called outstanding. In particular, already in the minimum configuration, the model is equipped with ABS and EBD systems , as well as front airbags.

At the request of the buyer, for a certain surcharge, you can install a MediaNav system with a touch screen. It allows you to synchronize with your mobile phone, after which the driver gets the opportunity to receive phone calls in the so-called free hands mode. It also has a built-in navigation system.

Interior

Inexpensive materials for interior upholstery and a primitive design of the front panel remind of the budget status of the Renault-Docker model. Reviews of many car owners indicate that the facing plastic is quite stiff. On the other hand, there are no special claims to the quality of assembly and fitting of parts. At a high level, as for cars of this class, there is also the ergonomics of the interior, thanks to which the inside is very spacious. Interior is made in gray-beige color, and the chrome inlays are used on the steering wheel, gear lever and instrument panel. A good noise isolation car can not boast, but do not forget about its cost.

Planting and comfort

The profile of the front seats of the Renault Docker is quite simple. As in many other commercial vehicles, there is no clear lateral support. The driver's seat can be adjusted in height. The rear sofa is designed for three passengers. There are plenty of places for people here. Thanks to the high ceiling and sliding door, landing in the car is very simple.

One can not help but note the huge luggage compartment. Its volume is 800 liters, and under the condition of folding the rear seats - increases to a mark of three cubic meters. The length of the compartment in this case will grow to 1.5 meters, which allows carrying oversized cargo.

Engines

On the domestic market, the Renault-Docker model comes with two variants of power plants. The first of these was an atmospheric gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. Its power is 80 horsepower. The main feature of the unit is that the experts say that the maximum torque is provided practically from the bottom. The second and basic engine is the 1.5-liter "turbodiesel", which develops 85 "horses". This unit is considered one of the most reliable and durable among all power plants of this manufacturer. Both engines operate in combination with a manual transmission in five stages.

Packages

In the salons of domestic dealers, there are three variants of the Renault-Docker configuration. The characteristics of the simplest of them (it is called Base) are very modest. More specifically, this includes front airbags, ABS, right rear sliding door and steel wheels with a radius of 15 inches. At will, the buyer can additionally purchase the color of "metallic" and roof rails on the roof.

The next equipment of the car is called Ambience. In it to the initial list of equipment developers have added an audiosystem with an opportunity of management of falling under a wheel petals, electric стеклоподёмники in front, the central lock. In the cabin above the windshield there is an additional shelf. Moreover, in this version a sliding passenger door is installed on the car on the left side. For an additional amount, the buyer can order air conditioning, heated front seats, multimedia system with navigation and screen, fog lights, and additional airbags.

In the maximum configuration (Laureate), in addition to all of the above, the car is equipped with an on-board computer, air conditioning, electronic adjustment of side mirrors, rails, fog lights, and side airbags. In this version, the side mirrors and car bumpers are painted in the body color.

The result

To summarize, we can not fail to mention the cost of the Renault-Docker model. The price of the car in domestic salons, depending on the set-up, starts from the mark of 17 thousand US dollars. In case the car is needed as a transport for small businesses and family trips, it makes sense to stop your choice on this model. On the other hand, for young drivers who are eager for speed and drive, it definitely will not do.
