The new Renault Trafic SpaceClass executive minibus goes on sale in September 2017.<\/p><\/div>\n

Renault’s new Trafic SpaceClass minibus was launched at Cannes Films Festival, where\u00a0it served as a shuttle to deliver VIP guests to the red carpet.<\/p>\n

It was a fittingly upmarket and French introduction for a model that’s clearly aimed at the VIP airport and taxi market, a model currently dominated by\u00a0Volkswagen Caravelle and Mercedes-Benz Viano.<\/p>\n

The Trafic SpaceClass is designed to seat up to nine people in comfort,\u00a0but I suspect it will more commonly be used for a maximum of six passengers — the number of people who can fit on the modular seas in\u00a0the rear compartment of the van. These can be configured in forward-facing rows, or so that\u00a0the two rows face each other, providing a lounge-type setting.<\/p>\n

As you’d expect, the Trafic SpaceClass has been loaded up with creature comforts. Depending on the version chosen, these include dark-tinted rear windows, individual LED reading lamps, leather seats and regulated air conditioning. A mobile office setup is also available, including a\u00a0pivoting seats and a removable central table.\u00a0All versions include 220V and USB sockets for charging devices in the\u00a0front and rear of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Improved driver<\/h2>\n

Upfront, the driver isn’t neglected, either. He or she will enjoy the tactile pleasure of a leather-covered steering wheel,\u00a0plus a dash design that’s been\u00a0enhanced with chrome and\u00a0gloss-black inserts.\u00a0A 7-inch\u00a0central touchscreen provides access to the MediaNav navigation system, reversing camera or R-Link with Android Auto, depending on the version.<\/p>\n

On the outside, the Trafic’s already stylish looks have been upgraded with extras such as\u00a017-inch diamond-effect alloys, Comet Grey launch paint, body-coloured bumpers and\u00a0a chrome grille — all of which\u00a0may vary slightly depending on what version is chosen.<\/p>\n

The Trafic SpaceClass will go on sale in\u00a0September 2017 in most European markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
