The 2024 Renault Master marks a major leap forward in Renault’s commercial vehicle lineup, combining sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and a range of flexible powertrain options to meet the varied needs of today’s professionals.
Exterior Design and Aerodynamics
The 2024 Master features a modern look with a bold, upright grille adorned with Renault’s updated logo, flanked by distinctive C-shaped LED headlights. A U-shaped insert (varying by trim) enhances the front, and with over 300 optional colors beyond the seven standard shades, customization is more expansive than ever. The vehicle’s aerodynamic improvements, including a more forward-tilted front end, a shortened bonnet, and redesigned door mirrors and roofline, result in a 20% improvement in aerodynamics. These refinements contribute to reduced interior noise and a decrease in CO₂ emissions by 39 g/km.
Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside, the Master is fitted with a modern, driver-focused cabin. A 10-inch digital infotainment screen runs on a Google-based system, offering seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The S-shaped dashboard, angled toward the driver, improves ergonomics, while seat options, including swiveling and suspension-based variants, ensure comfort for all users. Additionally, there are 135 liters of storage space—an increase of 25% compared to the previous model—making the cabin even more practical for daily use.
Powertrain Options and Performance
The 2024 Renault Master offers a diverse range of powertrain options:
- Diesel Engines: Blue dCi engines, with outputs ranging from 105 to 170 bhp.
- Electric Version: Features either a 96 kW or 105 kW motor, and offers a choice of 40 kWh or 87 kWh battery options. The larger battery provides a WLTP range of more than 460 km.
- Hydrogen Variant: A hydrogen fuel cell system is also available, underscoring Renault’s commitment to offering varied energy solutions.
The electric variant comes standard with a 130 kW DC fast charger, supporting quick recharging. Additionally, features like Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) extend the vehicle’s utility.
Practicality and Customization
With more than 40 body configurations, the Renault Master can be tailored to meet various professional needs. Payload capacities of up to 2,000 kg for front-wheel-drive models, along with cargo volumes ranging from 11 to 22 cubic meters, make it highly adaptable. Design upgrades include a 40 mm wider side sliding door and a 100 mm longer loading bay, improving both access and cargo space. A new power-assisted braking system ensures reliable performance, even when fully loaded, while also offering enhanced safety and energy regeneration in the electric version.
