Scoop: Renault Goes from Va Va Vroom to Plenty of Room with New Trafic

Renault’s engineers are performing the final tests on the new, third generation Trafic van that will be released this summer. As with the current model, it’s the child of a project co-developed between the Renault-Nissan alliance and GM’s Opel, with the German brand to introduce its version for the successor of the Vivaro at the same time.

You can’t see a lot from the heavy camouflage on the van, but Renault recently shared sketch of the new Trafic, sporting a rather optimistically dynamic appearance. Combined with the scoop shots, you can get a rough idea of the styling.

According to the designer of the Trafic, Kihyun Jung, “Its lines embody Renault’s new brand identity. My aim was to achieve a dynamic, assertive stance without sacrificing either the robustness or user-friendliness customers expect of their van.”

Renault has said that its commercial model will come with fresh technologies (think communication and networking) and a range of new engines, without providing additional details.
