In total there are 44 available versions, and the capability to customise thanks to a diverse range of options, accessories, tailor-made modifications and a wide selection of conversion options. In panel van form, the New Trafic is available two lengths and two heights, while the loading area boasts a total capacity of between 5.8 and 8.9 cubic metres, with several options for glazing, partitions, doors and crew van arrangements. It has a maximum load length of 4.15m thanks to a hatch in the bulkhead that unlocks extra load length beyond the bulkhead – ideal for longer loads.

Trafic Interior

Inside the dashboard has been completely re-designed with a horizontal trim feature that stretches across the width of the cabin and into the door panels, giving a greater sense of space and is complemented by a new instrument panel features additional chrome detailing, along with the door panels and gear lever. Electrically folding door mirrors and new door panels with wider armrests help to create a more refined interior and cabin storage has a total of 84 litres of cabin stowage space, 54 of which are located underneath the passenger bench seat. As with the previous model the backrest of the middle seat fold down and transforms the cab into a mobile office, with enough space for a laptop and an A4-size swivel stand to hold working documents.

The driver can choose to lock and unlock the cabin and/or loading area via a useful zoning mode on the ignition key or handsfree key card, bolstering security and giving the driver added peace of mind. To make life easier for things such as deliveries or accessing tools in the load area, optional LED interior lighting provides five times more brightness than standard halogen lamps.
