What is the running and servicing costs of a Renault Trafic?
All Renault Trafic’s need servicing every 12 Months months or 30,000km km, whichever comes first.
How does the 2024 Renault Trafic drive?
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.
