2021 Lexus LC vs 2023 Renault Trafic

What's the difference?

Being a true Jack of all trades in the car world is rare. 

Generally speaking, a vehicle is either capable or comfortable. Attractive or aerodynamic. Practical or performance orientated. And problems arise when cars try to do all those things well, all at the same time.

Which make the Lexus LC 500 Convertible such an interesting proposition. Because it is, without doubt, stylish, and lavishly equipped. It’s also rather large and rather heavy. All of which is perfect for cruising the Bondi foreshore.

But it’s also equipped with a thumping V8 engine and a throaty exhaust that sounds like bricks in a blender on the overrun. It’s stiffer than the LFA supercar, and plenty powerful, which should deliver one of Lexus’ sportiest-ever drives. 

So can the LC 500 really do it all? Let’s find out. 

There’s more than meets the eye with the new 2023 Renault Trafic range.

This French van has seen a mild cosmetic update, but under the bonnet there’s a bigger engine, and it now has some of the requisite safety features you’d expect, and a new more advanced multimedia system.

Has Renault done enough with this Trafic update to keep it fresh against competition like the Toyota HiAce, Hyundai Staria Load, Peugeot Expert and Ford Transit Custom? Read on to find out.
