    About the Renault Trafic

    Last updated Jun 07, 2024

    Renault’s updated Trafic range has lost its base engines but received more safety technology across the range, albeit at a higher price.

    The revamped van is on sale now.

    The cheapest Trafic is now $48,200 before on-road costs, up $8610 on the outgoing base Trafic.

    Said entry-level model now has a more powerful turbo-diesel engine, however, and has belatedly received autonomous emergency braking and lane-departure warning.

    Premium models also get adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and traffic sign recognition.

    That brings the Trafic closer to rivals like the Toyota HiAceHyundai Staria Load and Ford Transit Custom, which have a whole suite of active safety technology standard across the range.

    First revealed in September 2021, the updated Trafic has a refreshed exterior, with a new bumper, bonnet, grille and LED headlights with C-shaped LED daytime running lights.

    Renault also says the exterior mirrors are 30 per cent larger.

    How it Drives

    Our expert take on Renault Trafic drivability?

    The old 85kW turbo-diesel 1.6-litre engine has been axed, as has the 103kW twin-turbo diesel 1.6-litre. That leaves only a 125kW turbo-diesel 2.0-litre.

    As such the 2023 Renault Trafic is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine with 125kW of power and 380Nm of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

    All models are front-wheel drive.
