2025 Renault Trafic: More safety gear, small price bump for French van

Renault has updated its mid-size Trafic van, bringing a suite of safety gear and lightly tweaked styling.
Prices are up by $490 across the board, which means the range now opens at $49,490 before on-roads for the base Trafic SWB Pro manual and extends to $63,490 before on-roads for the full-fat Trafic LWB Crew lifestyle.
Tweaks include new Renault logos and a bulkhead with a glazed window, as well as a middle-seat work station and document holder with hidden laptop storage.
New safety gear includes a driver attention monitor, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a "QR rescue code", an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) shortcut button, and automatic bi-LED reflector-style headlights.
Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.
Renault says the ADAS shortcut button provides "direct access to an on/off switch for ADAS features". It also unlocks a "perso" mode, which allows drivers to set up personal favourites to activate or deactivate certain features "at the press of a button".
Similarly, the QR rescue code is a digitised barcode on the windscreen that allows first responders "quick access to the vehicle's structural and technical information in the event of a crash".
Other changes include making a factory-fitted steel bulkhead standard, which features a glazed window to reduce road noise. This was previously an option on Trafic Pro van models.
Fitted inside is a 7-inch digital information display in the instrument cluster, chrome trim for Trafic Crew models, and under-seat storage for the rear seats of Trafic Lifestyle models. Several option packs are also available, which will be detailed in a separate article.
Under the bonnet is still a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, which produces 125kW of power and 380Nm of torque. It's mated with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, with drive sent to the front wheels only.
Renault backs its Trafic with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and servicing is required every 12 months or 30,000km – whichever comes first. The French brand also offers capped-price servicing for the first five visits.
A full price and specs article for the updated Trafic will be published in due course.

2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed revealed as British brand's fastest SUV yet

It seems the axing of Bentley's legendary twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 last year wasn't all bad news, since the V8 that replaces it in the upgraded 2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed makes the British brand's flagship SUV even quicker, faster, lighter and more agile than before. Revealed overnight ahead of first Australian customer deliveries in the third quarter (July to September) of 2026, the refreshed Bentayga Speed is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 that produces 478kW of power and 850Nm of torque (over 2250-4500rpm). That's up 11kW but down 50Nm on the 12-cylinder model it replaces, yet because the V8 reduces kerb weight by 42kg to a still-hefty 2466kg, the latest Bentayga Speed is claimed to hit 60mph (97km/h) from standstill half a second sooner, in 3.4 seconds. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Given that 0-60mph time equates to a 0-100km/h time of about 3.5 seconds, it means the flagship version of Bentley's only SUV is now as quick as the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E-Performance plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV and the Kia EV6 GT electric 'SUV' (and now much quicker than a base Porsche 911). However, it's still slower than a host of other high-performance SUVs, including the Lamborghini Urus Performante, Ferrari Purosangue and Aston Martin DBX707 (all of which claim a 3.3-second 0-100km/h time), and electric SUVs including the Lotus Eletre R (2.9s), Porsche Macan Electric Turbo (3.3s) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N (3.4s) Bentley says the newest Bentayga Speed is also faster than ever, with its top speed of 310km/h – almost 5km/h more than before – matching the DBX707 and bettering the Purosangue, but falling just short of the Urus SE Hybrid. To show off its extra pace, the V8-powered Speed scores a sports exhaust system as standard, but an optional Akrapovic titanium unit with quad outlets should make up for its four fewer cylinders when it comes to the exhaust note. There are also revised drive modes including a Sport mode that increases damping stiffness by 15 per cent and increases the stability control system threshold to "permit exhilarating drift angles". Combined with less weight over its nose, rear-wheel steering increases both high-speed stability and low-speed manoeuvrability, leading Bentley to claim the Speed is its most agile SUV ever. Cosmetically, the top-shelf Bentayga wears Speed badges on the outside and rides on unique 22-inch wheels, with the option of 23-inch rims wrapped around carbon-ceramic brake rotors. Completing the Speed package inside is a revised digital instrument cluster layout, Speed badging on the seats, scuff plates and the passenger side of the dashboard, and special quilted Precision Diamon trim highlights. Australian pricing is yet to be confirmed, but the existing Bentayga Speed is priced at $531,500 before on-road costs, positioning it well above the entry-level 404kW/770Nm Bentayga V8 and the 340kW/700Nm V6 Hybrid (both priced from $395,800), as well as S and Azure variants with the same powertrains. The Mulliner Hybrid tops Bentley Australia's current Bentayga range at $646,800 plus on-roads.
