Renault Australia has detailed the pricing and specifications for its updated 2026 model year (MY26) Trafic commercial van. The entire 2026 Renault Trafic line-up now gets a nine-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, replacing the previous six-speed dual-clutch automatic. The six-speed manual variants have been discontinued. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel has also been reworked to adhere to Euro 6 emissions standards but retains the pre-update model’s 125kW and 380Nm outputs. As a result, claimed fuel consumption has dropped to a minimum 6.2L/100km, according to ADR 82/01 testing, depending on the body style. It was previously as low as 6.5L/100km. Additionally the entire range now has a 2500kg braked towing capacity. This is up from 1680kg in the short-wheelbase variants and 1630kg in the long-wheelbase variants. Beyond this, other changes to the Trafic for MY26 includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection across the line-up, adaptive cruise control on the Premium and Lifestyle trims, a driver attention monitor, standard metal bulkhead and middle-seat workstation across the line-up (excludes Crew Pro), plus LED reflector headlights. 2026 Renault Trafic pricing Australia 2026 Renault Trafic engine and efficiency 2026 Renault Trafic standard equipment Trafic Pro highlights: 16-inch steel wheels LED reflector headlights 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Three-seat bench Bulkhead with glazed window (van only) Middle-seat workstation (van only) Premium adds: Half-painted rear bumper Painted tail-light column 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster LED interior lighting Crew Lifestyle adds: Painted side body moulding Painted rear bumper Five-seat configuration Rear under-seat storage 2026 Renault Trafic optional equipment Single options for the Trafic Pro: Unglazed window on right-sliding door: $800 Glazed windows on rear barn doors: $400 17-inch alloy wheels: $1000 Single options for Trafic Premium: Glazed tailgate window: $NCO No right sliding door: $NCO Dual sliding doors: $400 17-inch alloy wheels: $1000 Single options for the Trafic Lifestyle Crew Pro: Tailgate with glazed window: $NCO Trade Pack ($2000, Trafic Pro and Premium): Anti-slip wooden floor Cargo area wall lining Heavy-duty battery Anti-theft spare wheel basket LED interior lighting Peace of Mind Pack ($1200, Trafic Pro): Front fog lights Tyre pressure warning Rain-sensing wipers Keyless entry and push-button start Wide-view mirror Auto-dimming rear-view mirror Business Pack ($2200, Trafic Premium): Climate control Tinted rear windows 17-inch alloy wheels Heated driver’s seat Satellite navigation Overspeed prevention Painted side mirror caps Painted body side mouldings Painted rear bumper 2026 Renault Trafic safety The Renault Trafic received a ‘Gold’ rating from ANCAP in 2024 with an overall performance score of 69 per cent.
