3 year 100,000 mile warranty for Renault Trafic and Master
With effect from 1st January 2008, Renault’s Trafic and Master ranges will be sold with a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. The new terms reflect the company’s commitment to quality, as well as bringing both vehicles in line with New Laguna, which was the company’s first product to benefit from the extended warranty terms in October last year.
Applicable to every Trafic and Master van, base vehicle and Commercial Passenger Vehicle registered in the UK from 1st January 2008, the improved warranty now offers 3 years/100,000 mile protection in place of the previous 60,000 miles. The first two years mileage is unlimited, unlike one of its major rivals, Vauxhall, which offers just one, while the third is valid up until the end of that year or 100,000 miles, whichever arrives sooner.
Also making ownership ever easier, Renault offers three years free AA cover, as opposed to just 12 months Vauxhall Assistance.
In addition to the enhanced warranty terms for Trafic and Master, a new engine also debuts on the former, in the shape of the 2.5 dCi 150. Replacing the previous dCi 140, this new flagship diesel engine, which has previously only been available on its larger Master sibling, offers significant performance gains and will no doubt appeal particularly to customers who need to tow or those who require additional power for other purposes from time to time.
Priced £1,350 more than their dCi 115 equivalents, the new versions benefit from peak torque of 320Nm at 1,500 rpm and optimum power of 150hp at 3,500 rpm. Its fuel economy is as impressive as its performance, with 32.5 mpg achievable on a combined cycle (9 Seat models).
