The Renault Trafic Passenger has been named Editor’s Choice for MPVs with more than seven seats in the Diesel&EcoCar Diesel Top 40 2026 awards. The judges cited its versatility, practicality, comfort and affordability.
The Trafic Passenger seats up to nine people. It is aimed at professional passenger transport as well as larger families, and combines a car-like cabin with the space, durability and luggage capacity associated with the Trafic family.
What the Diesel&EcoCar judges said
Ian Robertson, Editor of Diesel&EcoCar, said: “The Trafic Passenger blends its versatile commercial roots with genuine everyday usability, offering seating for up to nine.” He added that its 2.0-litre diesel engine delivers decent punch while returning solid efficiency, that the sliding side doors add practicality, and that the cabin is straightforward but robust, with plenty of room for passengers and luggage.
Seb Brechon, Head of LCV and Brand Performance at Renault UK, pointed to the attention given to the forthcoming Trafic Van E-Tech electric, but said “this award proves how versions of the current Trafic really are working in every way for business users.” He named transfer providers, shuttle operators and large families as typical users of the vehicle.
Trafic Passenger trim levels and engines
The recently updated line-up includes Advance and Extra trim levels, with short and long wheelbase models available. Buyers can choose between Blue dCi 110, Blue dCi 150 and automatic or manual Blue dCi 170 powertrains. The recent updates also improved fuel economy and reduced CO₂ emissions, which Renault says lowers the cost of ownership further.
Renault Trafic Passenger cabin and storage
Inside, large glass areas give the cabin a bright, airy feel. The Trafic Passenger offers up to 84.2 litres of onboard storage and as much as 5.7m³ of boot volume, giving room for passengers and luggage on journeys with a full complement of nine on board.
Trafic Passenger price in the UK
In the United Kingdom, the Renault Trafic Passenger range is priced from £45 385 OTR. Further details are available at renault.co.uk.
