Maxity

From the outside the Renault Maxity might look as If it's only built for thin people below five feet tall but the interior is surprisingly spacious with a tidy layout and very comfy driving position.
This rear-wheel-drive tipper feels rather light and skittish when unladen, but calms down significantly when loaded. The five-speed manual gearbox is easy to use and is well matched with the Euro-4 EGR 110DXi engine which produces 130hp/270Nm.
Despite its power rating the Maxity felt slightly sluggish on the hill climb, which it completed in 40.7 seconds. The feel of this vehicle and its exceptional turning circle suggests it is best suited to urban running.
The interior has nothing particularly fancy about it though it offers easy access to all controls.
Getting in and out of the vehicle is easy considering the position of the wheels. Visibility will be a big selling point for this vehicle, especially in congested city streets where its sloping side windows and low windscreen are useful when manoeuvring around parked cars and the like. The body and tipping gear are both by Ingimex with an activation switch under the body on the nearside. The tailgate has four levers at the back which are simple and easy to operate; it completed the tip in 21.9 seconds.
Despite being quite roomy the Maxity does not have a huge amount of space for personal belongings -although this is not really a problem as it is clearly designed for the smaller jobs around town.
