Real-world fuel consumption
146,065 Renault Trafic cars and vans registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel van versions average 8.7 l/100 km on the road, against 7.1 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 22% more.
| Fuel | Vehicles | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 35,198 | 8.7 | 7.2 | +21% |
| Diesel van | 110,867 | 8.7 | 7.1 | +22% |
Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the Renault Trafic uses 8.7 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,300 litres: €3,054 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.

Due to an error in the production process, the fuel tank may rupture and leak. As a consequence, fuel may spill onto the road and create a hazard for the following traffic.
The seat belt buckles on the third-row passenger seats may be defective. As a result, the passenger or a universal child’s seat would not be restrained by the seat belt, increasing the risk of injuries in case of an accident.
The end piece of the secondary handbrake cable may be defective and can deform the rudder bar. As a result, the handbrake may be less effective, increasing the risk of an accident.
The mounting position of the plastic belt guides may be incorrect. As a consequence, the belt guide may jam, impacting the protective effect of the seat belts.
The tyre pressures specified on the information label may be incorrect. The width of the spare wheel may be incorrect.
