2024 New Renault Master arrives with improvements to technology

With the Stellantis group renewing its commercial lineup, including its largest panel van models, it seems now is as good a time as ever for Renault to launch the all-new Master van. The new Master will be available to order from early 2024 with first deliveries taking place from September. It’ll once again rival the likes of the Peugeot Boxer, Citroen Relay and Vauxhall Movano – all of which will be updated in the coming months. Renault has given the new Master the moniker ‘Aerovan’ due to improvements in aerodynamics. Four diesel powertrains will be offered with the new Master, with 105, 130, 150 or 170bhp. Two gearboxes are offered depending on the engine – a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic. As for the all-electric Master, that gets an 87kWh battery (way up on the old van’s 52kWh unit) which effectively doubles the range to over 255 miles. While the payload for the diesel-powered Master stands at 2,396kg, this drops to 1,625kg in the EV. A 130kW charging speed allows the electric Master to replenish 142 miles of range in 30 minutes. The Master comes in three sizes, an L2 ‘base vehicle’, an L3 for ‘city driving’ and a larger L4. The L3 comes with front or rear-wheel drive with the L4 exclusively offered with rear-wheel drive. Pricing is yet to be announced for the new Master but we expect a marginal increase over the current van’s £37,675 starting price tag. Thanks for watching #jmgarage
