2023 Renault Trafic vs 2020 Renault Master

What's the difference?

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.

The Renault Master range has been refreshed, and this was our first chance to see what changes have been made. 

You should be able to tell just by the look of the 2020 Master that there’s a new design with a more modern looking front-end. And the inside has been thoroughly modernised, too.

But with contemporary rivals such as the VW Crafter and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter - both of which launched in all-new generation guises in 2018 - the question is whether the ageing, yet facelifted Master is worthy of consideration. 

We spent a week with it - and covered plenty of kays in it - to find out.
