Launching later this year, the all-new Trafic is available in a wide range of body styles, including two different heights, two different lengths, panel van, crew-van, platform cab and passenger versions, not to mention the solutions produced by approved converters and Renault Tech.

Twenty years after it revolutionised the small car segment with the first-generation Twingo, Renault has taken a fresh look at its celebrated city car. The result is a new, innovative and agile car that is great fun to drive. Renault revealed the New Twingo, the appeal of which includes a choice of four striking colours and a truly confident personality
Positioning the engine at the rear is a significant plus for a small city car since it frees up the front end and considerably improves the turning circle. The New Twingo is surprisingly manoeuvrable in built-up areas and parking calls for only a few turns of the steering wheel. Combined with the use of a smaller block and the positioning of the wheels at the car’s extreme corners, the rear-mounted engine also frees up extra cabin space, while New Twingo also boasts the sort of wheelbase and roomy interior more generally associated with models in the next segment up.
