Renault's attempt to get its products onto more shopping lists is taking time, but the latest Premium is an honest workhorse with a fair degree of driver appeal if only they can be tempted through the door.
The 7.2-litre Deutz-developed engines from the top of the Midlum range appear at the bottom end of the Premium Distribution family; power runs from 240hp to the 10.8litre 450hp. Its automated transmission is still called Optid river, but its derived from the group's Volvo I-Shift. The ZF manual boxes now have a reliable four-over-four dashmounted gear-shift in place of the old slapper.
The car-inspired interior is second only to Daf in its ability to make the driver lose the feeling of being at work. The Premium Distribution range includes 4x2 and 6x2 rigids, as well as a 4x2 tractor intended for car transporters.
