More grunt for Renault Trafic
Substantial power increase and drive-away pricing for entry-level vanRenault’s mid-sized van, the Trafic, has received a double boost with the entry model receiving a 29 per cent power increase, and a competitive drive-away price of $34,990 until June 30.
"Renault Australia sold a record number of Trafic medium-sized vans in 2016," said Lyndon Healey, Senior Model Line Manager for Renault LCV.
"This new 85kW engine for the Trafic improves driveability and with its very attractive drive away price it’s now an even better option for anyone looking for a mid-size van that’s easy, safe and fun to drive. And like every other Trafic, it’s comfortable, quiet and of course has a very practical load-space and high payload," Mr Healey said.
The new engine replaces the previous entry-level turbo-diesel engine, which was a solid performer in short wheelbase guise against petrol rivals from other brands.
Now, the higher output version of the single-turbo engine delivers more power and 15 per cent more torque, adding 40Nm for a peak of 300Nm.
Fuel consumption is quoted as 6.6 litres per 100km on the combined.
All other features and specifications remain unchanged from the previous entry model, including the payload of 1235kg in the 5.2 cubic-metre load area. Maximum towing capacity is unchanged at 2000kg.
Renault offers 12-monthly or 30,000km service intervals and a three-year/200,000km factory warranty, with the first three scheduled services capped at just $349 each.
The more powerful 103kW twin turbo diesel engine continues to be available in both short and long wheelbase, offering peak torque of 340Nm at 1500rpm and all models are mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
"The short wheelbase 85kW version with its 300Nm of torque will provide small businesses, tradies and couriers with the ideal set of wheels with which to do business. And with our unbeatable drive-away deals running up until the end of the financial year, there’s never been a better time to test drive a Renault Trafic," Mr. Healey said.
