Renault Trafic

Rent a Renault Trafic in Iceland!

As the saying goes, “the more the merrier”, and if you are a group looking to hire a suitably large car from an Iceland car rental, check out the sturdy Renault Trafic 9 person car. It is perfect for larger groups – seating up to 9 people – and affords more luggage space. Renault has enjoyed a leading position in van sales in Europe for almost 20 years, thanks largely to the Trafic, and the car’s market share alone should serve as an indication that this is a van you can bank on when taking a group out driving in Iceland.

With a suspension more compliant than most commercial vans out there, the Renault Trafic is an exceptionally nice van to drive, offering a very smooth ride, practically like a car. The clever design and all-around quality combine to insulate the occupants inside from the wind howl and road noise that you tend to get when traveling in a van.

The twin-turbo 1.6-litre engine powering the Trafic is a modern 16-valver that delivers 140 hp and a very respectable 340Nm of torque from a fairly low revving of 1500rpm. Transmission is six-speed manual and the gearbox is slick to operate, with the gears well paced.

Despite the 9-passenger Renault Trafic‘s bulk, it provides amazing fuel economy, and that’s where the Eco button comes in. Push it and you reduce power and torque, thereby decreasing fuel consumption by an impressive 10 per cent. We used it around town and the drop in power is noticeable, although this hardly affects performance in city traffic. With the Eco button off, the Renault Trafic zips around and is a great drive on highways. The view from the driver’s seat is great, since the high, upright seat position provides a good frontal view, while the large wing mirrors and the window in the bulkhead provide good rear vision as well.

If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient transporter then you should rent a Renault Trafic in Iceland.
