Renault Trafic passenger returns to South Africa

What is it?

The Trafic Passenger is Renault’s solution for multi-purpose transport. Designed to seat up to nine occupants, it bridges the gap between family MPVs and commercial shuttles. Its modular layout and generous cargo capacity make it equally suitable for private use, airport transfers or corporate fleets. The model strengthens Renault’s presence in both the passenger and light commercial segments.

Interior:

Inside, the Trafic Passenger prioritises comfort and connectivity. The cabin features an 8-inch multimedia display, digital instrument cluster and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Depending on the trim level, amenities include a wireless phone charger, heated driver’s seat and upgraded upholstery. Storage is abundant, with up to 84.2 litres distributed throughout the cabin. The flexible seating arrangement allows easy conversion between passenger and cargo configurations, providing up to 6 000 litres of space when required.

Exterior:

Renault’s distinctive design language shines through with Pure Vision C-shaped LED headlights, a bold diamond logo and 16-inch alloy wheels. Optional accessories such as roof bars, side steps, towbar and illuminated door sills allow owners to tailor the vehicle to their lifestyle or business needs.

Powertrain:

Under the bonnet lies Renault’s 2-litre dCi turbo diesel engine, producing 125kW and 380Nm of torque. It’s paired with a smooth EAG9 nine-speed automatic transmission.
