New Renault Trafic revealed

Launched in 1980 to replace the equally illustrious Estafette, the Renault Trafic has already achieved more than 1.6 million sales around the world. Moreover, in 2014, the Trafic story will continue with the third generation of the iconic vehicle debuting in some 50 countries globally.

The front of the new Trafic incorporates the bigger, more upright logo that is emblematic of Renault's new brand identity. Its stance is forceful and dynamic, while its wide, slender headlights give it an expressive look, and the sloping windscreen results in a clear division with the bonnet.

With the all new Trafic, Renault has capitalised upon its wealth of experience in the LCV segment to offer a genuine user-friendly van that is modern and comfortable, responding ever more closely to the needs of customers and actively contributing to the success of their businesses.

The all new Trafic can be customised as required, thanks to the outstanding diversity of its range which features 270 variants, two different heights, two different lengths, panel van, crew-van, platform cab and passenger versions, not to mention the solutions produced by approved converters and Renault Tech.

Thanks to its new range of downsized, turbocharged engines, the all new Trafic is both flexible and economical. They are based upon the latest generation, Renault-developed 1.6-litre dCi unit (R9M) and feature advanced technology to combine fuel consumption savings with real driving enjoyment.

This range is available in two versions: a single variable geometry turbo which yields 15 percent better fuel economy and the Twin-Turbo version, the fuel economy of which exceeds 20km/L. These engines offer brisk pick-up and greater low-end torque for responsive acceleration, even when the vehicle is fully loaded.
