The R&GO smartphone app connects to the vehicle via Bluetooth and provides 3D turn-by-turn satellite navigation, a vehicle trip computer giving the driver’s Eco² rating and fuel economy figures, several multimedia functions including internet radio and playback of stored music, and a host of telephone commands, allowing the driver to make hands free calls and have SMS messages read out loud.
The R&GO application is available as a free download for compatible iOS and Android smartphones for use in All-New Trafic and New Master and tablets for All-New Trafic.
The vehicle’s multimedia section allows the user to play music already stored on their device, listen to Internet radio or simply control their FM radio through the app, giving touchscreen functionality for ease of use. Mapping is downloaded and stored onto the device, enabling GPS navigation without using any mobile data.
Whilst the app is free to download, the satellite navigation feature is activated through a one-off payment of £19.99, made through the app.
The introduction of R&GO is a further addition to the range of innovations that feature on Renault’s LCV range in order to create a “mobile office” environment, including 90-litres of cabin storage and a fold down central seat with detachable clipboard and space for a laptop. Business+ and Sport versions of the All-New Trafic come with a universal cradle as standard.
All-New Trafic and New Master sit alongside the Kangoo Van and fully-electric Kangoo Z.E. and complete a fully refreshed Renault LCV line-up.
