Built on shared underpinnings but sold under different badges, here’s how the Trafic and Vivaro compare on space, payload and price.
The Trafic offers up to 8.9m³ across its two wheelbases (L1/L2), with genuinely class-leading load length. The Vivaro is available in three lengths (Compact, Standard, Long) but tops out at a slightly smaller 6.6m³.
The Vivaro has the edge on payload, carrying up to 1,400kg versus the Trafic’s 1,166kg – useful if you’re regularly loading close to the limit.
Both share the same platform, so running costs are broadly comparable. The Vivaro is available with a fully electric powertrain for zero-emission city work, while the Trafic majors on efficient diesel engines and strong warranty cover.
If load length and cabin comfort for long days on the road are the priority.
If you need maximum payload, a wider choice of lengths, or want the option of going electric.
They share the same platform and much of their engineering, but each brand offers its own styling, trim levels and warranty terms.
The Vivaro offers a fully electric version; the Trafic range shown here focuses on efficient diesel engines.
Both are covered by a 3 year manufacturer warranty as standard.
Insurance groups are very similar between the two given their shared underpinnings, though exact costs depend on trim and specification.
