| Renault has now confirmed UK pricing and specification
for its new long wheelbase Kangoo Van Maxi, plus the facelifted version
of its best-selling light commercial vehicle, Trafic Phase 3. |  | Both new ranges are available to order, ahead of the
official launches of the former on 4 June and the latter on 9 July.
Renault is launching a new long wheelbase version of Kangoo Van, called
Maxi, in standard panel and Crew Van guises.
The newcomer is available in five versions, costing £550 more than the
equivalent standard wheelbase Kangoo Van with the same engine, from
£12,590 to £13,590, excluding VAT and on-the-road charges. | The latest additions offer a third larger load capacity
than their smaller sibling - 4m³ in two-seat form (rising to 4.6m³ with
folding passenger seat), plus a payload of 800kg. In five-seat Crew Van
form, this same load capacity remains when the rear seat bench and
passenger seat have been folded.
With the luggage retention net in place and the rear three seats
upright, the five-seat version offers a load volume of 1.1 m³ up to the
height of the rear seats, with a slight fall of 60kg in payload.
Two variants of the 1.5-litre diesel engine, in 85 and 105hp, are
available across five versions of the full Kangoo Van Maxi range. | | | Completing the enhancements to the Renault van range
following the recent launch of the New Master range and the extension of
the Kangoo Van family, is the facelifted Phase 3 version of Renault’s
best-selling van in the UK, Trafic.
Ordering is open now, ahead of its launch in dealerships from 9 July,
with prices for the panel van range coming in at £16,400 to £21,650, and
Crew Vans £18,750 to £22,450, excluding VAT and on-the-road charges. |  | A total of 42 versions are available in the Trafic Phase 3
range, covering every short and long wheelbase, low and high roof
configuration, to offer total load volumes from 5m³ to 8.36m³.
The revised versions each come with diesel powertrains in either 90, 115
or 150hp form. They all drive through six-speed manual gearboxes as
standard, bar the automated manual Quickshift6 versions. |
