Within this review we’ll be casting our eye over the latest incarnation of the standard Master model.

In addition to having a strong engine, the Renault Master enhances your driving experience by providing anti-skid and hill assist traction assistance as standard on all Master variants. This makes it the perfect vehicle for driving across all types of terrain, especially for those who work outside of cities on rougher ground. Maximum payload ranges from 873kg to an impressive 1,551kg, this is without mentioning the abundance of storage.

Engines And Spec

Starting off with the engine situation, an updated 2.4-liter dCi turbo-diesel engine seamlessly improves driving performance within this newest Master model. It does this by providing more power and efficiency – up to 180hp overall. All models have a 6-speed gearbox to further improve fuel economy too, granting additional peace of mind. Compliant with stricter regulations on fuel consumption, This van is able to convert engine exhaust pollutants into harmless gases using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology.

Not sure if the size of the Renault Master is satisfactory? There are seven different dimension options available, so you can truly tailor your van to suit the context. Contrary to popular belief, the FWD’s 3.5-tonne variant offers a higher payload ratio and a higher maximum load height (between 1,700mm and 2,144mm) than its RWD counterparts – just something else to consider when browsing for your new work van. If you’re still not too sure about Renault’s latest offering, don’t hesitate to take a look at the Vanaways range. With hundreds of new favourites, we’re sure to stock a model ideal for you. You may even want to consider used vehicles or part-exchange options!

Interior

The Renault Master’s stylish and cutting-edge interior design is one of its main selling points. For busy professionals, the middle seat on the passenger bench can be folded down to reveal a pivoting table, cup holders, and tray space to store your belongings, creating a cushy space in which to complete those monotonous tasks. Better suited for long periods on the road, the integrated touchscreen multimedia system accompanies a DAB radio and dedicated bluetooth compatibility.

While your driving experience should be comfortable, safety should also be a top priority. In terms of features, you can use a rear view camera to see what’s behind you, which improves your overall visibility in areas where it would otherwise be lacking. Continuing this theme, there is a blind spot warning system that flashes in your side mirrors when a vehicle approaches – though on the negative side, the fact that these features are only accessible as optional extras should be noted. With intuitive technology, cutting-edge safety features, and ergonomic design features increasing productivity and driver comfort, The Renault Master Van is the best option for a variety of jobs, regardless of your industry – be it construction, delivery services, or any other.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."
