The new Renault Trafic SpaceClass has just been
launched at the 70th Cannes International Film Festival, where the new van variant will be used to ferry VIPs around. The Trafic SpaceClass can accommodate
up to nine passengers with sliding door access to the second and third row on
both sides of the vehicle.
With the middle and last row of seats mounted on a
rails, the SpaceClass’ main passenger area can be configured up to 50 different
ways. The SpaceClass’ seats can be made to face each other in a lounge-like
setup, or the seats can be positioned to face forward in a more traditional
layout.
Available features include USB ports, 220V outlets,
dark-tined rear windows, air conditioning, individual reading lights, and
leather upholstery. There’s also an exclusive shade of grey paint, colour-coded
bumpers, gloss black detailing, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The SpaceClass
can also double as a mobile office space with an available central table, which
can be moved around on rails or removed completely. It can be configured as a
coffee-style table, a working desk or a multi-function armrest. Depending on
the trim level, the Trafic SpaceClass offers drivers a leather-covered steering
wheel, 7.0-inch MediaNav infotainment and satellite navigation system, and
rear-view camera.
The company is targeting the Trafic SpaceClass at
high-end taxi drivers, chauffeurs, and companies running shuttles services to
and from locations like railway stations, airports and hotels. Renault is also
hoping to lure a few private buyers for whom the latest generation Escape isn’t
capacious or practical enough.
