Renault will be at the Düsseldorf caravan show to present its Trafic SpaceNomad, a campervan-style van. Available in two lengths, it will be launched on the market in early 2022, to compete with the Volkswagen California.
Leaving with your “house on your back” is a growing trend, especially since the health crisis. Indeed, motorhome sales increased by 60% between April 2020 and April 2021. However, outright camper vans have their croupiers cut off by the offers of campervans offered by manufacturers.

Renault Trafic SpaceNomad: two lengths
It is in this spirit that Renault presents its Trafic SpaceNomad. Based on the recently restyled utility vehicle, the model is transformed into a living van by the company Pilote, a specialist in the genre. It is offered in two wheelbases (3.09 m and 3.49 m) and therefore in two lengths (5.08 m and 5.48 m). On board, the two front seats swivel 180 °, and at the rear, the SpaceNomad is available either with a fixed two-seater bench seat, or a sliding version that can accommodate three passengers.
All the comforts available
Among the additional equipment that simple Traffic does not provide, the SpaceNomad has:
- ofuequipped kitchen with two burners, a sink with integrated tap, a 49 l refrigerator, an independent table for indoors or outdoors which can be stored in the trunk;
- of two sleeping areas for four people, with a bed (120 x 200 cm) in the pop-up roof, and the rear seat convertible into a bed (124 x 188 cm);
- ofa shower exterior.
Engines ranging from 110 to 170 hp
The Renault Trafic SpaceNomad has an engine range ranging from 110 to 170 hp, associated with manual or automated gearboxes. The EDC7 transmission is necessarily associated with blocks 150 and 170 hp. Already available since 2020 on the Swiss market, the model will be marketed from early 2022 in five other countries, including France. It can be ordered directly into the network unlike the Horizon Van Trafic recently tested by Argus, which was transformed by the Breton company Glénan Concept Cars.
The van will be presented at the Caravan Show in Düsseldorf, Germany, from August 28 to September 05, alongside the Hippie Caviar Hotel concept. Renault will also exhibit the SpaceClass Escapade (eight-seater traffic with a double bed) and the Master Motorhome fitted out by Rimor.
