Master Builders Western Australia — May-June 2017

Trafic’s six-pack is a

builder’s delight

BUILDERS WHO RUN THEIR OWN BUSINESS KNOW HOW TO DO

TWO THINGS AT ONCE, JUST LIKE THE NEW TRAFIC CREW.

The Renault Trafic van range has added a new

6-seater sibling in the form of the Trafic Crew.

It adds a factory-fitted second row of three

seats, complete with generous head, shoulder

and legroom, so the boys in the back don’t get

too close for comfort on the drive to the job.

Behind the fully enclosed bulkhead with

integrated window – which keeps the noise

down and the cabin easy to cool, or heat – is

a 4m3 load bay that’s almost square, and

of course easily swallows an Aussie pallet

between the wheel arches.

Down the back the Trafic Crew will tote

1118kg of payload, tow 2-tonnes and cop

plenty of gear or stock through the wide-

opening barn doors.

In the passenger compartment there’s plenty

of light from the two glazed sliding doors, with

hardwearing, yet fashionable dark seat fabric

on the seats.

In the front row, you can choose between

a two-person bench and driver’s seat or

splash out on individual captain’s chairs for

maximum comfort.

The Crew is built on the long wheelbase van

chassis with the twin turbo diesel engine

that delivers a chunky 340Nm of torque and

uses exactly the same small amount of fuel,

6.2-Litres per 100km on the combined cycle

test as the van. So it’s cheap to run, and with

an 80-litre tank you could easily get more than

1000km on a fill.

Renault is offering three Crew versions; the

standard Crew, that’s idea for tool-of-trade

types, standard Crew with Premium Pack,

which adds several nice to have features such

as a heated driver’s seat, while Crew Lifestyle

adds even more ‘Lux Living’ to Trafic driving,

including automatic climate control, reclining

rear seats, opening rear side windows, LED

interior lighting and large stereo speakers set

into the rear roof lining.

“Trafic Crew’s second row of seats is a

fully engineered solution, with thoughtful

touches designed to enhance the passenger

experience,” says Lyndon Healey, Senior Model

Line Manager for Renault LCV.

“The rear row is spacious, quiet, smooth and

more comfortable than a 4x4 Ute or any other

half-baked crew van solution,” he says.

“When you add Trafic’s inherent fun-to-drive

characteristics, fuel efficiency and reduced

running costs to the extra row of seats

and features, plus the standard Renault

Reassurance benefits common across the

range, of long service intervals of up to

30,000km and our $349 capped price servicing

offer for the first three scheduled services, it

quickly becomes obvious that nothing measures

up to Trafic Crew.

“And don’t forget our standard three-

year/200,000km factory warranty, Renault

Financial Services finance and insurance offers,

and the extensive dealer network we have built

over the past six years that make it so easy to

take a test drive,” Lyndon says.

Renault Trafic Crew adds just $3,500 to the

price of a LWB van and so is offered from

$42,990, with the Premium Pack at $45,480,

and the Trafic Crew Lifestyle at $46,780 (all

prices are Manufacturer’s List Price and do not

include statutory charges or dealer delivery).

“Trafic Crew really does give you the best of

both worlds. It’s deal for people who combine

being builders and business people, all at the

same time,” Lyndon says.
