Renault Australia is bringing back the Trafic ‘Formula Edition.’
The 2019 rebooted Formula Editions are available in short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase 103 kW twin turbo models, in white or storm grey.
The Renault Trafic mid-size van adds a heated drivers’ seat, dark cloth upholstery, dashtop storage compartment and chrome-plated speaker surrounds.
“Over the past few years the exclusive Formula Edition has brought many new customers to Renault LCV,” Renault’s light commercial vehicle business product manager Lyndon Healey says.
“In addition to referencing Renault Sport’s involvement in Formula one, the feature-rich list of extra equipment and the stand out design elements really appeal to SME and tradie buyers.”
The Formula Edition is identifiable by its red flash side stripe on both white and storm grey versions and a front grille finisher strip also in red.
Healey says the manual six-speed gearbox is the same as the one used in the Renault Sport Megane hot-hatch.
“There’s a little bit of Renault Sport magic in every Trafic,” Healey says.
Renault’s twin turbo diesel power unit is renowned for its high torque output and low fuel consumption, Healey claims. Up to 30,000km between pitstops for service means Renault can drive down the total cost of ownership for its customers.
Fans of the Trafic are encouraged to go into their local Renault dealer before they sell out as only a small number of the Formula Edition vans are available in 2019.
