Renault Trafic SL27
Renault Trafic SL27dCi 90
What is it?
Facelifted version of Renault’s stylish panel van, in short-wheelbase, low-roof guise.
What’s hot?
- New, more powerful 90bhp and 115bhp 2.0-litre diesel engines
- Euro 4 engines cleaner with more torque
- Body still looks funky and distinctive
- Every bit as modern as newly-launched Transit, Ducato and Crafter rivals
- New six-speed Quickshift6 transmission gives 5% improvement in mpg
- Driving position is the most car-like of any panel van
- Very comfortable on longer journeys
What’s not?
- Cab interior is not as well thought-out as new Ford Transit
- Facelift? What facelift? It’s almost impossible to tell new Trafic from old
- Low-power versions are underwhelming with a load…
- …you’re better off with the 115bhp 2.0-litre, or better still the 2.5 units

Business Car Manager Road Test Rating
Trafic changed the game in terms of van styling – and it’s still fresh enough to hold its own. But check for deals on near-identical Vauxhall Vivaro and Nissan Primastar before buying.
