Renault Trafic Lease Deals & Business Van Leasing Offers

Depending on the selected model, the Renault Trafic provides up to approximately 7.8m³ of load volume, payload capacity of around 1.1 tonnes and a maximum load-through length of up to 4.15 metres. This makes it suitable for tools, building materials, parcels, equipment and longer items.

Modern Blue dCi diesel engines are available with manual or nine-speed automatic transmissions. Renault has also revealed a completely new Trafic E-Tech Electric, although its specifications remain subject to final homologation and UK availability.

Why Choose a Renault Trafic Lease?

Leasing a Renault Trafic gives your business access to a modern commercial vehicle for fixed monthly payments without the substantial initial cost of buying one outright.

Benefits can include:

• Short and long-wheelbase configurations
• Up to approximately 7.8m³ of load volume
• Payload capacity of around 1.1 tonnes
• Load-through length of up to 4.15 metres
• Efficient 2.0-litre Blue dCi engines
• Manual and nine-speed automatic transmissions
• Panel van and crew van models
• Up to six seats in selected crew vans
• Passenger versions with up to nine seats
• Practical under-seat and cabin storage
• Modern connectivity and driver assistance
• Flexible contract terms and mileage allowances
• Fixed monthly payments
• Optional maintenance packages
• Nationwide UK delivery

At the end of a contract-hire agreement, the vehicle is normally returned, allowing the business to move into a newer van without managing its disposal or resale value.

Renault Trafic Load Space and Payload

The Trafic is designed to maximise usable cargo space while remaining practical for urban driving, customer visits and motorway journeys.

Depending on the selected derivative, it can offer:

• Up to approximately 7.8m³ of load volume
• Maximum payload of around 1,090kg
• Load-floor lengths of approximately 2.54 to 2.94 metres
• Load-through capacity of up to 4.15 metres
• Approximately 1.39 metres of internal loading height
• Wide-opening rear doors
• Sliding side-load door
• Practical load-lashing points
• Low loading height
• Flat and usable load floor

The load-through bulkhead allows longer items to extend beneath the passenger seat. Renault quotes load-through lengths of approximately 3.75 metres for the L1 and 4.15 metres for the L2.

Payload varies according to body length, trim, engine, gearbox, fitted equipment and accessories. Racking, lining, tools, passengers and conversion equipment must all be included when calculating the remaining carrying capacity.

Renault Trafic Business Leasing

Business contract hire can provide a straightforward way to operate a Renault Trafic over an agreed term and annual mileage.

At MPH Vehicle Solutions, we can provide Renault Trafic lease deals for:

• Limited companies
• Sole traders
• Partnerships
• Fleet operators
• Construction businesses
• Couriers and delivery companies
• Property maintenance teams
• Local authorities
• Service engineers
• Passenger-transport operators
• Hospitality businesses
• Sports and community organisations

Instead of paying the full purchase price upfront, the business pays an initial rental followed by fixed monthly payments.

VAT-registered businesses may be able to reclaim some or all of the VAT, subject to HMRC rules and whether the vehicle is used exclusively for business purposes.

Renault Trafic Diesel Engines

The current Trafic panel van is offered with a range of 2.0-litre Blue dCi diesel engines.

Depending on availability, the range can include:

• Blue dCi 130 manual
• Blue dCi 150 manual
• Blue dCi 150 nine-speed automatic
• Blue dCi 170 nine-speed automatic

The 130PS engine provides up to 330Nm of torque, while the 150PS version produces up to 350Nm. The 170PS automatic develops up to 380Nm and may be particularly suitable for frequent motorway use, heavier loads and towing.

All current engines are designed to meet the applicable Euro 6 emissions standard and are compatible with HVO100 renewable diesel, subject to fuel availability and Renault’s operating requirements.

Renault Trafic Automatic

The Trafic is available with a nine-speed automatic transmission on selected 150PS and 170PS diesel models.

An automatic Trafic can be particularly useful for:

• Urban delivery routes
• Stop-start traffic
• Drivers covering long distances
• Multi-driver fleets
• Passenger transport
• Heavier commercial workloads

The 170PS automatic provides the strongest performance in the current panel-van range, while the 150PS version may offer a useful balance between power and running costs.

Renault Trafic L1 Short-Wheelbase

The L1 Trafic is the more compact panel-van option and is approximately 5.08 metres long.

It can offer:

• Approximately 5.8m³ of load volume
• Around 2.54 metres of standard load-floor length
• Up to 3.75 metres using the load-through bulkhead
• Payload capacity of around 1.1 tonnes
• Easier urban manoeuvrability
• A lower overall footprint than the L2

The L1 may suit tradespeople, service engineers and delivery businesses that need useful carrying capacity without moving into a longer van.

Renault Trafic L2 Long-Wheelbase

The L2 Trafic adds approximately 40cm to the vehicle’s overall and internal length.

It can offer:

• Up to approximately 7.8m³ of load volume
• Around 2.94 metres of standard load-floor length
• Up to 4.15 metres using the load-through bulkhead
• Payload capacity of around 1.1 tonnes
• Additional space for equipment and materials
• Improved suitability for longer items

The L2 can be a strong choice for contractors, couriers and businesses that regularly fill the available load area.

Renault Trafic Crew Van

The Renault Trafic crew van combines additional passenger seating with a separate rear load compartment.

Current crew-van models can offer:

• Seating for up to six people
• A dedicated second seating row
• Separate cargo compartment
• Approximately 4m³ of load volume
• Around 1.82 metres of cargo-floor length
• Payload capacity of approximately 1,067kg
• Long-wheelbase configuration

This makes the crew van suitable for businesses that need to transport a team and their equipment in the same vehicle.

Potential users include:

• Building contractors
• Installation teams
• Highway maintenance crews
• Utilities companies
• Event businesses
• Landscaping teams
• Mobile service engineers

Renault’s current UK range lists the crew van in the L2H1 configuration, although specifications may change by model year.

Renault Trafic Passenger

The Trafic Passenger is designed to transport people rather than primarily functioning as a commercial panel van.

Depending on the seating arrangement, it can accommodate up to nine occupants and may suit:

• Private-hire operators
• Airport transfers
• Hotels
• Schools and colleges
• Sports teams
• Community organisations
• Corporate transport
• Large families

Passenger models are available with manual or automatic diesel engines. Seating configuration, luggage capacity and taxation can differ from the commercial panel van, so the intended use should be discussed before ordering.

Renault Trafic Towing Capacity

Selected Renault Trafic derivatives can tow a braked trailer weighing up to approximately 2,500kg.

However, towing capacity varies by engine, transmission and vehicle configuration. Some automatic derivatives may have a lower limit, so the exact figure must be checked for the chosen model.

When towing, businesses must remain within the vehicle’s:

• Maximum braked towing weight
• Gross train weight
• Maximum authorised mass
• Trailer nose-weight limit
• Axle-weight limits

The definitive figures are shown on the vehicle identification plate and technical documentation.

Renault Trafic Conversions

The Trafic can provide a practical platform for several commercial conversions.

Depending on availability, possible applications include:

• Refrigerated van
• Insulated van
• Mobile workshop
• Racking installation
• Welfare vehicle
• Accessible passenger transport
• Window or glazing installation
• Specialist service vehicle
• Utility conversion

Any conversion equipment reduces the available payload. The finished vehicle should therefore be assessed after insulation, refrigeration, racking, tools and accessories have been included.

Renault Trafic Refrigerated Van

A refrigerated Trafic can be used for chilled or frozen deliveries, subject to the chosen refrigeration system and temperature requirements.

Potential applications include:

• Food distribution
• Catering suppliers
• Restaurants
• Florists
• Pharmaceutical transport
• Meal-preparation businesses
• Dairy and fresh-produce delivery

Refrigeration equipment, insulated lining and additional electrical components increase the vehicle’s unladen weight and reduce its remaining payload.

Businesses should specify the required temperature range, operating hours, door layout and journey pattern before selecting a conversion.

New Renault Trafic E-Tech Electric

Renault has revealed a completely new Trafic E-Tech Electric that is separate from the current diesel van.

Provisional specifications include:

• Up to approximately 279 miles of range
• 800-volt electrical architecture
• Approximately 20-minute 15–80% rapid charging
• Up to approximately 1.25 tonnes of payload
• Up to approximately 5.8m³ of load volume
• L1 and L2 body lengths
• Overall height below 1.9 metres
• Vehicle-to-load capability
• Up to 18 driver-assistance systems
• OpenR Evo connected technology

The new electric model’s design, construction and technology are substantially different from those of the existing diesel Trafic.

Renault states that some specifications are still undergoing homologation and that UK equipment may vary. Final range, charging, payload, pricing and availability must therefore be confirmed before orders are placed.

Interior and Driver Technology

The existing Trafic provides a practical, car-like cabin designed to function as a mobile workplace.

Depending on trim, available equipment can include:

• Touchscreen infotainment
• Apple CarPlay
• Android Auto
• Connected navigation
• Bluetooth
• Wireless smartphone charging
• USB connections
• Air conditioning or climate control
• Cruise control
• Digital driver information
• Hands-free key card
• Smartphone storage
• Under-seat storage
• Mobile-office passenger seat
• Rear parking sensors
• Reversing camera

Equipment varies by trim level, model year and individual derivative.

Renault Trafic Safety and Driver Assistance

Available safety technology can include:

• Autonomous emergency braking
• Lane-departure warning
• Blind-spot warning
• Traffic-sign recognition
• Driver attention alert
• Automatic high-beam assistance
• Front and rear parking sensors
• Reversing camera
• Cruise control
• Speed limiter
• Trailer stability assistance
• Crosswind assistance

These systems are intended to support the driver and do not replace proper observation or responsibility for controlling the vehicle.

Who Is the Renault Trafic Best Suited To?

The Renault Trafic can be a strong choice for:

• Plumbers and heating engineers
• Electricians
• Property maintenance teams
• Builders and contractors
• Couriers
• Mobile technicians
• Cleaning companies
• Events and hospitality businesses
• Passenger-transport operators
• Schools and community organisations
• Local authorities
• Mixed commercial fleets

The combination of two body lengths, crew-van availability and manual or automatic diesel engines allows businesses to tailor the Trafic to different operating requirements.
