Renault’s segment bestseller since 1980 and with over three million units sold in 50 countries, the Master reached the fourth generation this Tuesday, 11/21, fully renewed and aiming to keep at the light commercial vehicle market top, especially in Europe.

More than a new look that, according to the manufacturer, would ensure a 20% improvement in aerodynamics – Renault is calling it “aerovan” – the Master should attract consumers, mainly companies, for its wide version and technology menu.

The 2024 lineup bids high on diesel engines. There are four just-developed options with 105 through 170 cv that, according to Renault, consume less than the currently available engines, coupled with manual or nine-speed automatic transmissions.

There are three other options for those who want to reduce even more emissions. The van can be fully electric, driven by battery or fuel cell. It can also use hydrogen as fuel.

The electric ones have two versions, with 129 or 141 cv and 300 Nm. The first has a 40 kWh battery and can reach 180 kilometers (WLTP), and the second has an 87 kWh battery and a 410-kilometer range.

But the cherry on the cake is a hydrogen-cell configuration that will be available ahead.

To maintain the Master as a protagonist in various segments and applications, Renault created 40 configurations combining different bodies and wheelbases beside engine options. It also offers drive assistance packages, uniting 20 systems and high connectivity with dedicated services.

The electric versions offer Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) or Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging directly from the battery or through inlets in the cockpit or cargo area to feed devices. “We aimed to approach the ideal van as much as possible”, celebrates Hélène Carvalho, Renault Master’s program leader.

All versions will be assembled in the same assembly line in Batilly. Engines, gearboxes and batteries will also be made in France. Forty-eight percent of the Master suppliers are based in France.
