The Renault Trafic has always been a popular choice for small business operators, tradies and delivery drivers – and the MY25 update gives them even more reason to consider the French-built van, especially before the end of financial year.
With a bump in safety credentials and a raft of equipment upgrades across the range, the MY25 Renault Trafic earns a Gold Star Commercial Van rating from ANCAP and brings fresh appeal to a competitive segment.
Safety and Practicality Upgrades That Matter
Kicking things off, the MY25 Trafic now comes standard with a factory-fitted steel bulkhead and glazed window in most van variants. Previously an option on Pro models, this feature does double duty by enhancing cabin quietness and protecting occupants from loose cargo.
There’s also a clever new fold-down workstation behind the middle seat, complete with a document holder and hidden laptop storage. It’s a small change with big implications – ideal for mobile businesses who use their van as an office on wheels.
Comfort and Convenience: Now Standard
Glen Sealey, General Manager of Renault Australia, says the updates are all about customer focus:
“June is historically the biggest month of the year for commercial vehicle sales and, demonstrating our commitment to the Australian market, we have introduced a number of changes to the MY25 Renault Trafic line-up.”
These changes are particularly relevant for Fleet Managers and sole operators, with the Trafic now better equipped out of the box. Pro models now come standard with:
- Bulkhead with glazed window
- Passenger workstation bench
- Automatic low/high beam bi-LED headlights
Step up to the Premium or Lifestyle models and you’ll also get features like:
- A 7-inch digital driver display
- LED cabin lighting
- Painted body mouldings and tail-light columns
- Under-seat storage (Crew Lifestyle)
And yes, Renault has rolled out its new logo branding across the range.
Advanced Driver Assistance and Crash Response
The Trafic’s updated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are easily controlled via a new dashboard-mounted ADAS button, giving drivers quick access to features like Autonomous Emergency Braking (with pedestrian and cyclist detection), lane keep assist, and a drowsiness alert.
There’s also the QR Rescue Code – a digitised tag on the windscreen allowing emergency services quick access to technical information in the event of a crash.
Longer Service Intervals, Bigger Tank, Lower Costs
Another key benefit for business buyers is the extended service interval – up to 30,000km or 12 months, whichever comes first – helping reduce workshop downtime and keep more vans on the road.
Fuel economy is another strong suit: the 2.0L diesel engine returns as low as 6.5L/100km on the combined cycle (automatic), paired with an 80-litre fuel tank for impressive range between fills.
From a power perspective, the 2.0L turbo-diesel generates 125kW and 380Nm, available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed EDC dual-clutch automatic driving the front wheels.
Pricing and Personalisation
With nine variants available – including SWB, LWB, Crew and Lifestyle options – the MY25 Trafic caters to a wide mix of trades and industries. Pricing starts at \$49,490 for the manual SWB Pro and climbs to \$63,490 for the fully loaded Crew Lifestyle automatic (plus on-road costs).
Here’s a quick overview of key MY25 Trafic prices:
| Model | Price (RRP) |
|---|---|
| SWB Pro Manual | $49,490 |
| SWB Pro EDC Auto | $51,490 |
| SWB Premium EDC Auto | $54,490 |

The paint colour options are also more generous than most rivals – with six exterior colours available, including five beyond the standard white.
Optional Packs and Accessories
Renault continues to offer customisation through factory-fitted options and accessory packs, including:
- Trade Pack ($2000): Adds ply flooring, wall lining, heavy duty battery, and LED cargo lights
- Peace of Mind Pack ($1200): Includes parking sensors, blind spot warning, and folding mirrors
- Comfort Pack (from $1000): Adds fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, tyre pressure warning and keyless entry/start
- Business Pack ($2200, Premium only): Offers climate control, sat-nav, tinted windows, and a heated driver’s seat
Each of these allows buyers to tailor the van to their exact business needs – whether you’re running a courier operation, mobile workshop, or multi-site delivery service.
Warranty and Servicing
The MY25 Trafic is covered by Renault’s five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, and comes with capped-price servicing for the first five scheduled services (up to five years or 150,000km).
For fleet operators and novated lease customers, this provides a reassuring ownership proposition – with predictable costs and strong resale potential thanks to the long service intervals and brand reputation.
Final Word: A Van That Works as Hard as You Do
The MY25 Renault Trafic doesn’t just get a safety upgrade – it’s now smarter, more comfortable, and better equipped to meet the demands of modern business.
Whether you’re a Fleet Manager looking for a van that meets your requirements, or a sole operator wanting a mobile office with fuel efficiency, the updated Trafic offers a compelling mix of value, tech, and toughness.
As Glen Sealey puts it:
“If a van is your tool of trade, then the Renault Trafic is your best business partner.”
With EOFY just around the corner, it might be time to upgrade your mobile workspace.
