Renault Trafic (2014-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Efficient engine range	Maximum payloads are beaten by some rivals
Modern styling	A bit basic inside
Excellent value for money	Not as car-like to drive as a VW Transporter

Quick Summary

The Renault Trafic, a versatile van since 2014, received a significant refresh in 2019, updating its design, engines, and interior tech for improved frugality and efficiency. Available as a panel van or Crew Van, it offers various configurations for different tasks. The cabin is designed to be a mobile office, featuring a fold-down desk and clipboard in higher trims, though storage spots can be limited.

Power comes from a refined 2.0-litre dCi turbodiesel engine, offered in 120, 145, and 170 PS outputs, with the 170 PS option providing brisk acceleration, especially with the EDC automatic gearbox. All models include DAB radio, Bluetooth, and air-conditioning as standard, with later models supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Running costs are low, with the dCi 120 achieving up to 52.3 mpg, and service intervals are generous at 24,000 miles or two years. It's a comfortable, hard-working vehicle offering excellent value.

Best for: Drivers seeking a versatile and comfortable van for long journeys, buyers looking for a hard-working vehicle with modern amenities and good value, and businesses needing flexible configurations and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum payload capacity (some rivals offer more), those seeking the most "car-like" driving experience (e.g., Volkswagen Transporter), or drivers who need extensive interior storage for small items.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Trafic if: You're on the hunt for a hard-working vehicle that doesn’t look too much like a builder’s van, features some everyday luxuries, is comfortable over longer journeys, and offers excellent value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum payload capacity (like the Ford Transit Custom), the most "car-like" driving experience (like the Volkswagen Transporter), or need more extensive interior storage.

Competitive Position: The Renault Trafic is a strong contender in the van market, offering excellent value, comfort, and a versatile range of body styles and configurations. While rivals like the Volkswagen Transporter might offer a more car-like drive and the Ford Transit Custom might boast a higher maximum payload, the Trafic stands out with its modern styling, efficient engines, and significantly more affordable price point, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical and well-equipped commercial vehicle.
