Renault LCV to go 4x4?
Renault LCV introduces new enhanced traction technology for owners who operate in tough conditionsThe new Renault X -Track technology designed for the LCV range provides higher-traction performance for 4x2 vehicles in challenging conditions.
This new, affordable feature is now available across the Kangoo, Trafic and Master ranges in Europe.
In addition, the Renault Master now offers a 4x4 transmission to provide outstanding traction for particularly difficult terrain.
Renault in Australia said it will will evaluate these new additions to the three LCV model ranges with a view to making them available here.
"When it comes to traction performance, the needs of business customers can vary significantly depending on the terrain, conditions, type of work and payload," says Lyndon Healey, Renault Australia Model Line Manager for LCV.
"Compared with a standard transmission, the new Renault X-Track 4x2 technology delivers superior mobility on difficult terrain, in snow, unsealed surfaces and on poor quality roads. ?
"The Renault X-Track 4x2 is an alternative to four-wheel drive when off-road capability is not required. It delivers exceptional performance on poor roads and in difficult conditions. The option is available on Kangoo, Trafic and Master from the factory and we plan to evaluate the systems locally to determine their suitability for the Australian market," Lyndon says.
Renault has also announced a 4x4 version of the Master large van, designed for maximum comfort and safety with optimised grip for use in slippery conditions.
In 4x4 mode, the Renault Master 4x4 can be driven on inclines, slippery ground, snow, unsealed surfaces, damp fields, muddy ground, poor roads, etc. ?
The 4x4 feature is being made available by the factory for both versions of the Master cab-chassis, for Single and Dual Cab models, as well as for rear-wheel drive van bodies.
"Renault Australia will carry out specific market evaluation on the Master 4x4 in the near future to determine its suitability for our driving conditions," Lyndon says.
"There is a large market for 4x4 Dual Cabs in Australia and with our high payload and up to seven-seat capacity, a Master 4x4 could be a handy addition to the range," he added.
