“New Trafic is designed to bring Australians a highly capable addition to their business, with a confident new look and car-like comfort and convenience,” said Glen Sealey, General Manager, Renault Australia.

“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, so we’ve ensured customers have a hardworking, yet efficient, powertrain backed by an extensive five-year/200,000km warranty, Capped Price Servicing and long 30,000km service intervals – every aspect of New Trafic is designed to keep your business moving.”

Engine and Payload

Every New model 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 a potent 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 for fewer fuel stops, saving both time and money.
