Before Russia got Renault Dokker

2 November 2017

Road to our country took five years

The Dacia Dokker van is available in Europe since 2012. Initially its sales in Russia was to begin in 2014, however, due to the sharp fall of the ruble and a lack of localization, market entry was postponed until better times. Apparently, they came, because now the Dokker can be ordered in our country.

Like other models of Dacia, Dokker in Russia will be presented under the brand Renault. To us the car will be imported from the production site in Morocco. Utilitarian version of the Dokker Van with solid rear doors and two seats is estimated at 814 000 rubles. More family five-seater modification costs from 819 000 rubles. Besides the increase in the number of seats and glazing, this vehicle stands still and the presence of front passenger airbags (the Dokker Van it is not provided).

Buyers can choose between 1.6-liter gasoline engine (82 BHP and 134 nm) and 1.5 liter petrol (90 BHP and 200 N·m). But alternatives to a five-speed manual transmission is not available. All versions of "Docker" will be front-wheel drive. The maximum price of the new model will be 1 106 000.

In any Renault Dokker default will be a system of ABS, but ESP will get only the diesel version: the petrol it will have to pay 12 000 rubles. Another sign of the economy can be considered uncontested rear drum brakes. The equipment of the van is quite simple: in the initial configuration no Access or air conditioning (for it will have to pay even more than the rich performed Life), no electric Windows, no adjustment of the steering wheel and driver's seat height. Bumper and the exterior mirrors are painted, although from the point of view of practicality it is possible to calculate even an advantage.

Taking orders for Renault Dokker has already begun. The first cars will arrive to dealers in December.
