The Dacia Dokker is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle (LAV) built at the Renault factory in Tangier, Morocco. It was officially launched at the 2012 Casablanca Auto Show, and initially went on sale in Morocco in June 2012.^[2] It has been available in Romania since September 2012,^[3] and is marketed in Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Israel and French overseas territories.^[4]

It is manufactured in passenger and panel van variants,^[5] as well as a crossover version, the Dokker Stepway, introduced at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show,^[6] featuring body elements similar to the Sandero Stepway.^[7]^[8] It is marketed in the CIS countries and in the Middle East under the name Renault Dokker and Renault Kangoo in South America, but not in other parts of the world, as it would cannibalize the sales of its French sourced brother, the Renault Kangoo. In 2018, Dacia Italia together with Focaccia Group created a pick-up variant for the Italian market.

Markets

Argentina

A revised version is produced in Argentina as the Renault Kangoo, being launched commercially in 2018 as a first generation Renault Kangoo replacement,^[9]^[10] and the passenger version in May of the same year.^[11] It also arrived in the Mexican market in 2019.^[12] It is also exported to other Latin America markets such as Uruguay, Paraguay and Colombia. In July 2023, exports to Algeria began.^[13]

As of 2015, the Kangoo contains about 40% Argentine parts.^[14]

Features

The name Dokker is a pun on the word dock worker and, according to Dacia, expresses the large transport capacity of the model and its modular interior and robustness.^[15]

The passenger version offers five seats and has a luggage capacity of 800 litres (28 cu ft), with a maximum loading length of 1.16 m (3.8 ft). It has one sliding side door, and can be optionally ordered with sliding doors on both sides. The rear bench seat can be split asymmetrically, and it can also be tipped forward against the front seats, which creates a carrying capacity of 3,000 litres (110 cu ft) and a loading length of 1.57 m (5.2 ft).^[15]

The panel van version has a luggage capacity of 3,300 litres (120 cu ft) and a maximum loading length of 1.90 m (6.2 ft). The front passenger seat is foldable, which can also be tipped forward against the glove box to have a maximum loading length of up to 2.42 m (7.9 ft). If the front seat is completely removed, it has a carrying capacity of 3,900 litres (140 cu ft) and a maximum loading length of up to 3.11 m (10.2 ft).^[15]

The payload capacity is 750 kg (1,653 lb). Also, a second sliding side door is optional and has asymmetrical rear doors that can open at 90 or 180 degrees.^[15]

The car can also be ordered with a Media Nav system, which comes with navigation and audio functions, hands-free Bluetooth connectivity and USB and jack sockets. Other optional equipment offered are cruise control and rear parking sensors.^[15]

It has ABS as standard, with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and, optionally, can be equipped with electronic stability control (ESC). Standard equipment also includes airbags for driver and front passenger, as well as side airbags for head and chest.^[15]
