Renault Trafic review

Renault hasn't altered any of the vital bits about the latest Trafic van. The overall length remains 4998mm and 5398mm for standard and long-wheelbase models respectively, while the internal storage lengths range from 2537mm to 2937mm.

For longer loads, there is a load-through bulkhead that extends maximum carrying length in short-wheelbase models from 2537mm to 3750mm, and from 2937mm to 4150mm in long-wheelbase variants.

Load volumes peak at 8.6 cubic metres – slightly more than the biggest Transit Custom, which can carry 8.3 cubic metres, while maximum payload is 1075kg in 2.8-tonne short-wheelbase models and 1280kg in three-tonne gross vehicle weight vans. A passenger-side door is fitted as standard and the rear doors open to 180deg.

Enhancements made to the rear include brighter LED lights and a reinforced lock. The loading area lining has also been changed to enable better cleaning and has the option of 255deg 'fold-flat' doors – ones that go all the way around to the side of the van.
