Speaking of spyshots, we have images of the Trafic van undergoing testing back in September 2013. They help us make better sense of this design sketch, both pointing toward keen, large headlights that flow towards the pillars.

“Its lines embody Renault’s new brand identity. My aim was to achieve a dynamic, assertive stance without sacrificing either the robustness or user-friendliness customers expect of their van,” notes the designer of New Renault Trafic, Kihyun Jung.

More details will be available "very soon", according to the French carmaker, who will likely show their LCV in Geneva next month. They even went as far as to say the engines for this van will "benefit from Renault’s expertise in the world of Formula 1 racing." That's a bit of a stretch...
