Better Driving and More Performance

The Renault Master offers a driving experience that balances practicality with comfort, which is impressive for a vehicle of its size. Its range of efficient diesel engines provides ample power for most tasks, with options typically spanning from 130 to 170 horsepower. 

The Master's steering is responsive and well-weighted, making the van feel more manageable in urban environments than its dimensions might suggest. The six-speed manual gearbox is smooth and precise, while an automatic nine-speed transmission is available for those preferring a more relaxed driving experience. 

The van's suspension setup strikes a good compromise between load-carrying capability and ride comfort, absorbing road imperfections well even when unladen. Although not designed for speed, the Master demonstrates stable handling and minimal body roll through corners, inspiring confidence in various driving conditions - especially with a full load. 

The high-up seating provides a commanding driving position and large windows contribute to excellent all-round visibility, a crucial factor for a working vehicle when navigating tight spaces or busy city streets.

Van Engine Options and Power Outputs:

Two main powertrain options are available with this model, including the new Blue dCi diesel version (which boasts a hydraulic dynamic braking system) alongside an E-Tech 100% electric variant - 

Dimensions, Volumes, and Load Capacity

The Renault Master is categorised as a large panel van, meaning it competes with the likes of the Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This places it in the 3.5-tonne segment of the commercial vehicle market, offering load volumes from 11 to 14.8 cubic metres, is available in multiple wheelbase lengths and various roof height options, alongside a payload capacity of up to 1,625kg.

The new Master is available in a number of different versions, each with its own dimensions, volumes, and load capacity. To give you a better idea of the main variants, below we share the key specifications for four of the most popular versions.

Exterior Design and Interior Office Like Layout 

The 2025 Renault Master van boasts an updated high-performance design which focuses on aerodynamic performance. These enhancements not only contribute to the vehicle's performance but also give it a more modern and purposeful appearance, blending function with contemporary styling. 

Inside, you can expect a driver-oriented cockpit with plenty of compartments for handy storage within easy reaching distance. The cabin converts into a usable workspace when there isn’t time to head back to the office and where loading is concerned, you can expect best-in-class performance. 

Exterior Design:

The front fascia of the new Renault Master has been updated with a more prominent and contemporary grille, flanked by sleeker, LED headlights that enhance both visibility and the van's visual appeal. The hood's sculpted lines contribute to a more aerodynamic profile, helping to improve fuel efficiency.

Large sliding side doors and wide-opening rear doors maintain the van's practical nature, facilitating easy loading and unloading. Robust wheel arches and durable body panels emphasise the vehicle's tough, work-ready character. It is available in multiple wheelbases and roof heights, and its exterior dimensions can be tailored to specific business needs.

Interior Layout:

The van reveals a cabin designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. The driver's area has been significantly updated, featuring a more car-like dashboard layout with improved ergonomics. A new, larger touchscreen infotainment system takes centre stage, offering intuitive control over navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings.

The steering wheel is now multi-functional, allowing drivers to control various features without taking their hands off the wheel. The instrument cluster combines analogue dials with a digital display, providing clear and customisable information at a glance.

Comfort has been enhanced with redesigned seats offering better support for long journeys. The cab area includes numerous storage options, including overhead compartments, large door pockets, and a clever folding middle seat that can double as a mobile office desk.

Cargo Area: 

Setting the benchmark for loading capabilities in its class, the Renault Master van has an impressive payload capacity of up to 1,625 kg and the ability to tow up to 2.5 tonnes, offering exceptional versatility for demanding jobs. 

Access to the cargo area is easy and convenient thanks to the widest sliding side door opening in its category. The rear doors can swing open to a full 270 degrees, providing unobstructed access for forklifts or euro pallets. 

Additionally, the integrated footstep makes loading and unloading even more convenient, reducing strain on workers as do the tie-down points which are abundant, alongside LED lighting to improve visibility when working in low-light conditions.

These thoughtful design elements combine to make this van a leader in loading efficiency and accessibility, streamlining operations for businesses of all sizes. Here's how the Master's load volume measures up against its nearest competitors:
