Renault significantly improved their third generation mid-sized Trafic van in 2019, with a range of more efficient 2.0-litre dCi diesel engines, the option of EDC auto transmission and a smarter cabin with extra technology. As before, there was a choice of two lengths and two roof heights for the panel vans and the cabin was designed to function as a mobile office. It all meant that this van remained a strong contender in the medium-sized LCV segment. How does it stack up in this form as a used buy?

History
This MK3 model Trafic van was a very important van indeed - at least for its makers Renault. Back in 2014, at a time when a risky development emphasis on electric power had left sales of the company's passenger cars under threat, the brand's continued leadership of the European Light Commercial Vehicle segment was crucial. And more than any other product, this was the vehicle that was tasked with sustaining that. In 2019, it was usefully improved to create the LCV we're going to look at here.
The Trafic certainly had a fight on its hands to face down direct medium-sized LCV rivals as talented as Ford's Transit Custom, Volkswagen's Transporter and Mercedes' Vito, plus the shared PSA Group design badged as either a Peugeot Expert, a Citroen Dispatch or the Toyota Proace. An even tougher challenge for Renault lay in differentiating this product from its near-identical design stablemates, Fiat's Talento and the Nissan NV300.
Until 2019, this Trafic had shared its design with Vauxhall's Vivaro too but by 2019, that model had shifted away to PSA Group underpinnings. Possibly at just the wrong time because this Renault's updated 2019 model year design made it more class-competitive than it had previously ever been. By then, the Trafic had been available in our market since 1980, with a second generation 'X83'-series version launched in 2001 and this MK3 'X82'-series model debuting in 2014, five years before the wide-ranging product upgrade creating the LCV we're going to look at here.
Plenty changed as part of this update. There was a wholesale switch from 1.6 to 2.0-litre dCi diesel engines, along with the option of a new twin-clutch auto gearbox, plus operators got smarter styling, an upgraded cabin and stronger standards of safety and media connectivity. All of which this Trafic needed to restore its market positioning. Directly prior to this update, sales in 2018 had plummeted by 40%. In 2021, there was a further updated that rejuvenated the cabin design, but it's the earlier 2019-2021-era Trafic models though, that we look at here.
