Dimensions Renault Trafic
The Trafic III is designated with an L code for the length (L1 = short wheelbase 3,098 mm, L2 = long wheelbase 3,498 mm) and an H code for the roof height (H1 = normal roof, H2 = high roof). The load floor is equally wide on every version: 1,662 mm and 1,268 mm between the wheel arches, so three Euro pallets fit crossways in every variant. The most important choice is therefore length (40 cm of extra load length on the L2) and height: H2 gives over 50 cm of extra standing height but does not fit in car parks. Note that since the 2021 facelift Renault has quoted the load volumes differently (more generously): the same L1H1 is now 5.8 m3 instead of 5.2 m3.

Frequently asked questions about the dimensions
What do L1, L2, H1 and H2 mean?
L stands for the length (wheelbase and overhang), H for the roof height. The higher the number, the longer or higher the van. From H2 upwards you can stand upright in the load area on most models.
How many Euro pallets fit inside?
A Euro pallet measures 120 × 80 cm. What counts is the width between the wheel arches (at least 120 cm for two pallets side by side lengthways) and the load length. The "Euro pallets" column gives the number that fits flat on the floor.
Can I drive this van on a category B licence?
Yes, as long as the gross vehicle weight does not exceed 3,500 kg. Versions up to 3,500 kg are listed in the "Max. weight" column; heavier versions (5,000 kg, for example) require a C1 licence.
Are these dimensions correct for every vehicle?
These are manufacturer figures per version. Bodies (box body, refrigerated body, tail lift), roof racks and changes from year to year can differ. During a viewing in Mijdrecht we will measure the dimension that matters to you on the spot.
