The Australian distributor has confirmed the updated Renault Master will retain the 2.3-litre turbo-diesel engine which produces 120kW with a six-speed manual and 110kW in vehicles with the six-speed automated gearbox.
Renault says it will also feature a more robust, expressive and dynamic front end for a common visual identity with other models in the manufacturer’s LCV range.

“The renewed Master is designed to make the lives of its business and retail customers easier with class leading design, technologies and services available, all supported by the heritage of the Renault brand,” Renault Australia managing director, Anouk Poelmann said.
Renault says the new Master will offer plenty of storage space in the cabin (up to 105 litres) including the now standard under-bench storage compartment.
The new Master’s load area is said to make lives of users easier by providing an optimised loading area, which features LED lighting, and new ergonomic handles for easy entry and exit both at the rear and at the sides on models with a sliding side door.
The Master range comes with 12 months and up to 30,000km service intervals, capped price servicing and a roadside assistance program.
Renault’s popular Trade and Business option packs continue with some slight adjustments, and the addition of Convenience Pack available on manual transmission models offering extra features such as auto high/low beam, lane departure warning, blind spot warning and front parking sensors.
A strong player in the Australian LCV market since it was launched in 2010, the Renault Master’s sales have risen from 68 units in 2011 to close to 1600 last year.
