Renault South Africa<\/strong> has quietly reintroduced a nameplate many of us had almost forgotten. The Trafic Passenger<\/strong> is back, and this time it arrives as a proper 9-seater<\/strong> people-mover rather than just another commercial van with windows. After nearly two decades away from our market, the French brand is taking another swing at the large<\/strong> MPV\/ minibus<\/strong> space currently dominated by the Toyota Quantum, Hyundai Staria <\/strong>and Volkswagen Transporter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Renault has tried to move the vehicle away from pure workhorse<\/strong> territory. The front end carries the brand\u2019s current design<\/strong> language with C-shaped LED<\/strong> daytime running lights and a more purposeful look. On the top Techno+ derivative you get body-coloured bumpers, 17-inch diamond-cut<\/strong> alloys<\/strong> and privacy glass that help it look less like a panel van<\/strong> with seats and more like a serious family<\/strong> or shuttle tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inside is where the real conversation starts for most Mzansi<\/strong> buyers. The cabin can be configured for three<\/strong>, six or nine<\/strong> seats. Fold everything down and you are looking at up to 6 000 litres<\/strong> of load space, which then gives you that panel van that you might need. Rear passengers get their own climate controls, sliding windows<\/strong> and plenty of USB ports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Under the bonnet<\/strong> sits Renault\u2019s familiar 2.0-litre Blue dCi turbodiesel<\/strong>. It produces 125kW<\/strong> and a healthy 380Nm<\/strong>, sent to the front wheels through a 9-speed automatic<\/strong>. On paper the numbers look solid, and on the road the package apparently delivers. The engine pulls cleanly from low revs and the gearbox is said to be smooth enough that you forget it is there on the highway. Claimed combined consumption sits between 6.2 and 7.2 L\/100km<\/strong> depending on load and conditions. With an 80-litre<\/strong> diesel fuel tank, theoretical range<\/strong> edges past the 1 000km mark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pricing is competitive<\/strong> for what is on offer and what rivals are also charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
