The Renault Express Cargo Van impresses with 102 HP and an attractive starting price of 17100 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
Renault Express presents itself as a no-nonsense compact cargo van with clean, boxy proportions that prioritise load space over flash. At 4,393 mm long and 1,811 mm tall it is easy to park yet still commands a sensible presence on the street. The face is modern but restrained, with practical details like high-set headlights and vertical rear doors that underline its working intent. The look communicates practicality rather than prestige.
The cabin is built for utility with hard-wearing plastics, straightforward switchgear and two practical seats; finishes are durable rather than luxurious. Storage is generous with multiple cubbies and a wide dashboard shelf, while ergonomics put the most-used controls within easy reach for long workdays. Manual gearbox and simple layouts keep ownership costs down and maintenance predictable. Occupant comfort is decent for a van, though plushness is not the priority.
Cargo capacity is the Express’s headline figure: up to 3,300 litres of load space and payloads up to around 700 kg depending on specification make it capable of most small-business jobs. The compact exterior dimensions hide a deep, square load bay that swallows pallets, ladders or boxes with ease, and a low loading lip simplifies frequent stops. Two-seat layout frees up cabin space for paperwork or tools but limits passenger flexibility. In daily use this translates into fewer trips and faster loading, especially for urban delivery routes.
Engine choices span from about 75 to 102 hp with torque figures around 200–240 Nm, so town driving is effortless while highway overtakes feel leisurely, not sporty. Acceleration varies — expect roughly 11.9–16.3 s for 0–100 km/h across the range — which is adequate for loaded work runs but unremarkable on long motorway stretches. Front-wheel drive and light steering make it highly manoeuvrable in tight streets and car parks, and the suspension prioritises load comfort over razor-sharp handling. When loaded, stability remains sensible though high-speed cornering should be approached conservatively.
Official consumption figures sit between about 4.6 and 6.6 L/100 km depending on engine and tuning, with the Eco diesel variant claiming the lowest number. With a 50-litre tank that equates to a real-world range typically between roughly 760 and 1,080 km, meaning fewer fuel stops on long runs and lower running costs for contractors. CO2 figures span the mid-100s g/km so fleet buyers will find it economical to run compared with larger vans. In practice, a conservative driving style and light loads will push efficiency toward the lower end of the band.
The Express keeps technology pragmatic: driver aids like cruise control, speed limiter and parking sensors or camera are available depending on trim, while more advanced ADAS is not the headline feature. The infotainment is simple and functional, offering smartphone mirroring and clear menus designed for quick access rather than showroom gloss. Physical buttons for climate and windows reduce distraction and are practical for gloved hands. For businesses the balance favours reliability and ease of use over gadgetry.
This is a tool for small businesses, tradespeople and delivery operators who need a compact, economical van that can swallow a surprising amount of kit without high running costs. Multiple diesel and petrol manual front-wheel-drive versions are offered, covering different power and efficiency needs without complex options menus. Buyers seeking maximum refinement or automated transmissions may look elsewhere, but those valuing practicality, low consumption and simple ownership will find the Express very competitive. It’s a clear, sensible choice where function outweighs frills.
