Renault prices new Master large van

RENAULT has confirmed Australian pricing and specifications for the new, expanded (to six from two) Master van range with diesel variants arriving in June from $55,990 plus on-road costs and fully electric E-Tech models to follow later this year.

The new entry price for the diesel variant represents a small increase of $790 compared with the outgoing entry model, however like for like model pricing increases by as much as $4790 (see table below).

Diesel powered competitors include the Ford Transit (from $61,64), Fiat Ducato (from $57,500), LDV Deliver 9 (from $53,674), and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (from $71,740).

The new-generation Master comprising four diesel and two fully electric variants marks the first ground-up redesign of Renault’s large van in more than a decade, bringing substantial upgrades in payload, safety, technology and efficiency.

Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey described the new model as a “gamechanger” for the brand’s commercial push.

Replacing the previous turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, the new diesel range is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel producing 125kW/380Nm, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, while a manual entry variant remains available.

The electric Master E-Tech uses a 105kW/300Nm front-mounted motor and an 87kWh battery, delivering a claimed WLTP driving range of up to 409km.

Fast-charging capability peaks at 130kW, enabling a 15-80 per cent recharge in 38 minutes.

Renault is pitching the new Master squarely at hard-working commercial buyers, with diesel payloads ranging from 1811kg to 1973kg and a 4000kg gross vehicle mass (GVM).

Braked towing capacity is rated at 2000kg.

Electric variants sacrifice some carrying capacity for battery packaging, with payloads between 1084kg and 1164kg and a 3500kg GVM but retain the same braked towing capacity.

Renault says the side loading door offers the largest opening in its class, while 270-degree rear barn doors improve forklift access.

The new Master’s cabin receives a substantial overhaul, with a 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, USB-C charging, a new column-mounted shifter, and improved storage solutions.

An optional fold-down workstation built into the middle seat targets tradespeople and fleet users needing a mobile office setup.

The electric E-Tech variant also gains Google integrated services.

Safety equipment has been significantly expanded, with autonomous emergency braking, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, a reversing camera, and parking sensors as standard across the range.

Renault points to the Master’s European NCAP Platinum commercial vehicle safety rating as a key selling point.

The Master arrives as part of Renault Australia’s broader model renewal strategy, with the company previously promising six new models in 18 months.

In a highly contested segment dominated by Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Fiat Ducato, Renault is targeting buyers wanting both conventional diesel practicality and an electrified alternative within the same showroom.

The arrival of the E-Tech also strengthens Renault’s commercial EV push as fleet operators increasingly look to lower-emissions delivery solutions without abandoning payload and usability.
