Can the newly updated Renault Trafic 2023 van range really compete with the likes of the impressive Hyundai Staria Load, Toyota HiAce and Ford Transit Custom?
Well, that depends what you want when you're buying a cargo van. If safety is priority one, you'll need to shop elsewhere, because while Renault has added a number of new safety tech items across the range, it isn't nearly as well equipped from an advanced safety feature perspective as its big-name rivals.
But it does have a few things on its side: there's a new interior with a far more car-like experience than the last model; all versions now have a bigger 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; and there's also the standard fitment of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel, which means you're getting more grunt for your bucks now, too.
However, prices are up by almost $9000 on some grades. So does it live up to the price? And should you consider this van over its rivals? Matt Campbell spent some time in the facelifted 2023 Renault Trafic model at the Australia media launch this week to find out.

Just picked up one of these as my new company van and it's just a joy to drive. Plenty of power ,great road feel and for a van it rides like no other van I've driven. 413km on the clock and the future looks like a smoother ride .

@@shayandaryan it's owned by the company I work for and I've done 7000 km in it since delivery . No problemo.

Now, according to the manufacturer, change the oil every 40,000 km 🤣

Is this a facelift, or has it been "Renault-vated"? :)

Prices have jumped massively since ATECO took over distributorship of Renault to make their LDV vans look cheaper ? The price range they are in now better vans available for the money

Would this fit a 6ft 3 bed base in the back?

First of all, great video, I test drove a new Trafic today and this video has broken down a lot of things for me. As someone who's been driving a Staria for almost 12 months as a courier, I hate it. The safety features mentioned are not necessarily practical for commercial use, and the lane assist is horrendous (very inaccurate and sensitive). The Trafic has a more practical loading space, better use of space, than the Staria. There are only floor anchor points in the Staria vs the Trafic, if that's something that is important to you. At the end of the day it all comes down to how you use your van. In my personal opinion Hyundai took a people mover and removed the seats and slapped "commercial" on it. Renault has many years experience with commercial vehicles, and as someone who drove a Master for two years, they've nailed comfort while driving for sure
