Master Minibus 

12 Seats (11 passengers + driver) and 2.5T towing. Safe. Spacious. Practical. The Renault Master Bus is a genuine alternative to the same old, same old. It combines great value for money with high levels of driver and passenger comfort. There’s plenty of safety equipment, excellent payload and luggage storage, plus a generous warranty and low servicing costs. Not to mention a highly competitive purchase price. Master Bus’s high level of standard safety equipment includes Electronic Stability Control, anti-lock brakes (ABS), Hill Start Assist, Grip X-Tend, driver and passenger front airbags, reverse parking sensors and a reversing camera. 

The lower running costs are further enhanced by long service intervals of 12 months or 30,000km, whichever comes first. And anyone with a car licence can drive it. Available in L2H2 and L3H2 versions.

Master Mini Bus – was $81,650 now $61,990

Trafic 

Winner of the Company Vehicle van of the Year for 2016 when we commented “It is all about what a van can do, and fortunately, the Trafic can do a lot, with cavernous space and great versatility.” Trafic comes in one model the LWB with 1.6-litre turbo diesel motor delivering 103kW of power and 340 Nm of torque. Trafic ups the load carrying to 6m3, and a load length of 2937mm. The cab area is designed to be a mobile office on the go with a fold down centre seat that converts to a workstation and laptop storage. Again you get car like creature comforts with ESC, cruise control, reversing camera, parking sensors and auto lights and wipers.
