Date: Tuesday, May 16, 2017 |

Renault has revealed its all-new Trafic SpaceClass shuttle at the Cannes Film Festival.

Used to transport VIPs at the annual movie showcase, the SpaceClass can seat up to nine people and is due to arrive in the UK from September.

According to Renault, the new model is aimed at companies and hotels operating shuttle services to and from airports and railway stations, as well as high-end taxi firms and chauffeurs.

“The Trafic SpaceClass is an entirely new product that fulfils the requirements of customers looking for a best-in-class driving and comfort experience,” said Ashwani Gupta, senior vice-president, global head of Renault-Nissan Light Commercial Vehicles Business Unit. “We chose the Cannes film festival as the first time to debut this high-end vehicle to show that it can be used effectively with VIPs and business people all the way to the airport.”

The French brand claimed it offers class-leading levels of space and comfort levels, while 50 different seat configurations can be selected thanks to the seats being on rails.

The vehicle can also be turned into an office, thanks to a removable central table.

The interior also offers dark-tinted windows, air-con, individual LED reading lamps and leather upholstery, as well as plug and USB sockets.

The driver’s area, meanwhile, features a leather-coated steering wheel and a seven-inch touchscreen, which houses the sat-nav and reversing camera.
