• The accompanying text includes a mention of the 40th anniversary. Carscoops notes that the Renault Trafic family marks 40 years since its inception this year. In addition, the details of the front lining, which can be seen in the video, according to the publication, resemble the outlines of test prototypes of the model seen by photo spies.

• In Russia, the commercial line of Renault is represented only by the larger Master van at a price of 1,965,000 rubles.
