Rather than scattering by multiplying carrier vehicles and body lengths, the van developer Glénan Concept Cars is focusing on the Renault Trafic in standard size. A product that he masters perfectly and that it is possible to adapt to his use by the play of options.
At the French manufacturer of vans based in Concarneau (Finistère), only the Renault Trafic is used as a base. And again, it offers only one length, the shortest, with a format of less than 5 meters. However, Glénan Concept Cars’ offer is right on target. First there is the Horizon Van 4 which, as its name suggests, is built to carry four passengers. And if you have a slightly larger family, the Horizon Van 5, asking for a supplement of € 1,000, accommodates an additional passenger. In all cases, the van allows sleeping for four.
Glénan Concept Cars: new products for 2022
The mattress topper option is in place with a format of 137 x 187 cm.
No major upheaval in the Glénan Concept Cars range for the 2022 model year. However, equipment is emerging. These include a gas water heater (billed € 1,750), two types of solar panels (100 W to 850 € or 160 W to 1,175 €) or a tailgate tent to shower out of sight while avoiding drafts (540 €). While a two-tone Urban Gray and Glacier White paint can lacquer the body of your van in exchange for an extension of 350 €. Like what, it is not only the Volkswagen California to be able to boast of sporting a biton look.
The Glénan Concept Cars range
As we told you in the preamble, the Glénan Concept Cars range is based only on the Renault Trafic and on a single format. Nevertheless, by the play of many options and a wide choice of engines (dCi 120 BVM, dCi 145 BVM / BVA and dCi 170 BVM / BVA), Horizons Van 4 and 5 cast a wide net. The offer starts at € 47,990 and can climb to over € 68,400 by adding all options. We had the opportunity to try one of the models in the range.
Good to know, vans, vans and motorhomes are not affected by the ecological penalty provided that their living compartment has the following equipment:
- seats and table;
- berths obtained by converting the seats;
- kitchenette ;
- storage spaces.
This equipment must be immovable, with the exception of the table which may be retractable.
