Versatile load carrying
Renault offers the Master panel van range in two lengths and two roof heights. The load length stretches to 3,855mm, an increase of 100mm, and is complemented by a maximum load volume of 14.8m3. The load bay is reached via twin rear doors and a nearside sliding door. To ease access for busy operators, the side door width has been increased by 40mm to 1,313mm, wide enough to fit a euro pallet through.
Despite longer load lengths, the shorter wheelbase and redesigned front axle combine to deliver outstanding manoeuvrability, including a 1.5m tighter turning circle.
Cabin comforts
The ‘S’-shaped driver-focused dashboard adds to interior spaciousness and creates a car-like environment with excellent ergonomics. Renault describes the cab as a cockpit that doubles up as a workstation with the middle passenger seat folding down into a desk, the base of which houses a handy slot to store a laptop*. A 10in touchscreen is standard across the Master line-up to enable the OpenR Link multimedia system that includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. OpenR Link with Google built-in* is also available as an option. It includes Google Maps, the Google Play App catalogue and voice- controlled Google Assistant.
For Master E-Tech, an Electric Route Planner can increase vehicle uptime for businesses by
identifying charging stations, setting charging times and optimising battery use.
A further function of OpenR Link is its ability to integrate controls for conversion equipment into the multimedia system, allowing the driver to operate the equipment from the touchscreen. The cabin offers a generous 135 litres of storage space, a 25% increase on the outgoing Master. The van is endowed with up to 20 driver assistance systems to protect occupants, pedestrians and other road users*. The package includes active emergency braking, lane
departure warning and driver attention and drowsiness alert.
The price is right
For such an accomplished vehicle, a price tag from £37,500, excluding VAT and including the £5,000 Plug-in Van Grant, undercuts its rivals to make the new Master E-Tech extremely competitive within the UK’s large electric van market.
For businesses not yet ready for electrification, the new Master is also available with a 2.0-litre diesel BlueDCi engine with outputs of 130, 150 or 170hp.
