Renault and Opel/Vauxhall revealed the looks of their new van, or light commercial vehicle. Renault call theirs the Traffic, and Opel/Vauxhall call their van the Vivaro, which sounds kind of cooler. There are subtle differences in appearances, but underneath, these two are the same car.

Both car makers boast about the class-leading, ultra-modern technologies and equipment featured in the new model that set them apart from your average LCV. They feature a dynamic design that is not often seen in the can segment, and promise new levels of comfort and refinement for the driver. That doesn’t mean they are rubbish at being a proper commercial vehicle. Practicality and robustness were the designer’s first priorities. So they tried their best to arrive at a good compromise between these qualities.

Further details and official pictures of Renault Trafic/Vauxhall Vivaro will be revealed soon.
