Updated Renault Trafic arrives in Australian showrooms

Renault says it has updated its medium-sized Trafic van with a redesigned front end, improved equipment and updated safety features as well as improved towing capability.

Australia has become the largest market for the Trafic van family outside Europe according to the Ateco Group which is the Renault brand’s official local importer.

Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey says the Trafic brings commercial van buyers a highly capable addition to their business, with a confident new look and car-like comfort and convenience.

“We’ve also worked hard to ensure businesses are kept on the road longer, because the cost of a vehicle doesn’t stop after purchase,” he says. 

The Trafic is backed by a five-year/200,000km warranty, capped price servicing and 30,000km service intervals.

“Every aspect of the Trafic is designed to keep your business moving,” Sealey says.

The Trafic is available in eight different configurations, with a choice of Short Wheelbase (SWB) and Long Wheelbase (LWB) Van, as well as a six-seat LWB Trafic Crew Van. Three equipment levels see the SWB and LWB van offered in Pro and Premium, while the Crew Van is available in Pro and Lifestyle variants.

All models have a redesigned front-end incorporating C-shaped LED headlights, sleeker bumper, new horizontal bonnet and upright grille with chrome inserts.

An upgraded interior brings a new dashboard and gear lever designs, full-width horizontal trim detail and storage space of up to 84.2 litres and best-in-class headroom. 

Safety and technology upgrades include Active Emergency Braking System as well as Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning and Traffic Sign Recognition. Automatic high and low beam for the LED headlights offer a 20%  increase in beam range over the previous generation.

A new full colour 8.0-inch Easy Link display offers the latest in connectivity and usability to customers. While Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ connectivity, DAB, Bluetooth™ and USB connectivity are standard on all models with Qi wireless smartphone charging available on Premium and Lifestyle Trafic for the first time yet.  

Every Trafic is powered by a 2.0-litre Turbo Diesel engine with a choice of six-speed manual or Electronic Dual Clutch (EDC) automatic transmissions. The powertrain produces 125kW/380Nm which combined with the six-speed manual version is capable of 7.2L/100km and when paired with the EDC uses as little as 6.5L/100km. This efficiency combines with a large 80 litre fuel tank to bring extended range.

The Trafic offers a payload of up to 1280kg and up to 2.5-tonne towing capability, combined with a 4.15m load length accessed by standard dual-sliding side doors and rear barn doors on Premium versions. It has a maximum cargo bay area of 6.7m³.

The upgraded Renault Trafic is on sale in Australia this month.
