Renault Master Review

We regularly update our stock with used Renault Master vans at Auto Capital. Read our review to find out more about this popular mid-size van.

The Renault Master was originally launched in 2010, sharing a platform with the Vauxhall Movano and more recently, the Nissan NV400.

There are numerous body styles available in both front and rear-wheel-drive, with 4x4 conversions also available. Load capacities extend up to 17 cubic metres in the L4 H3 panel van version and gross vehicle weights of 2.8, 3.3, 3.5 and 4.5 tonnes are offered.  Every model is powered by a 2.3 litre dCi diesel engine available with either 110bhp or 130bhp with a single turbo or 145hp, 165hp and 170hp in twin turbo trim.

The model comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but an automatic gearbox is available, albeit only for the 170hp front wheel drive models. The Master feels sturdy inside, with Renault taking the idea of using the van as a mobile office and incorporating this into as many features as possible. Storage space inside the cab sits at 150 litres, more than enough for the average user.

Thanks to the addition of twin-turbo technology in the more powerful Master models, the 145bhp engine is in fact the most economical, delivering a claimed 40.4mpg in front-wheel drive vans. Similarly, this engine provides the lowest emissions at 183g/km. Services are recommended at either 25,000 miles or 2 years; whichever comes first.

Regardless of the used Renault Master you choose, each van comes with a full-height steel bulkhead to let you load your van fully. There are also numerous load lashing points to keep your cargo secure. If you’re after something more suited to your industry than a used panel van the Master is available as a crew van, platform cab, passenger transport, dropside and tipper in single and double cab guise, a Luton loloader and box van.
