A player in the van market for 120 years, Groupe Renault is upgrading its light commercial vehicle range with enhanced styling, connectivity and bespoke features. And to further satisfy its professional customers, the new light commercial vehicles (LCVs) boast quality levels comparable to those of passenger cars.

Since launch in 1980, Master and Trafic have established themselves as essential models in the LCV market, having sold in over four million units. To respond to new customer needs, New Master and New Trafic have gained stronger design, powertrains and equipment:

• Imposing and meticulous design
• New engines
• Bespoke cabins for professionals
• All-conquering robustness
• Driving comfort
• Connected onboard experience.

Revealed in April 2019 with a new “Urban Gray” body color, they will be launched in Europe starting in September 2019. Both models feature the new visual identity of the front end of Renault LCVs.

By improving the standards of its LCV and passenger-transport range, Groupe Renault is reasserting its determination to move from European leader to world leader consistent with the objectives of its strategic plan, Drive the Future (2017-2022).

This major ambition is based on quantified objectives:

• Increase LCV sales by over 40%
• Double market coverage from 24% to 50%
• Remain the electric LCV leader by marketing an electric version of all of its vans (excluding pick-ups)
• Become the world LCV leader with sales of over 2.5 million units a year, thanks to the Alliance with Nissan and Mitsubishi.

New Renault Master: muscular design, power and robustness

Featuring a new front end, New Master has also been redesigned inside. The cabin scores higher on perceived quality as well as functionality and practicality, with chrome inserts, new upholstery, and a cockpit equipped with an enhanced mobile office. The new 2.3 dCi engines provide more power and torque while reducing fuel consumption. Driving is safer and more seamless thanks to new advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). New Master Z.E., Renault's fourth electric vehicle, joined the Group’s LCV line-up in 2017.

Since launch in 1980, Renault Master has ranked at the forefront of the large van market:

▪ 2.4 million units sold, 118,176 of which in 2018
▪ Sold in over 50 countries
▪ Master has set sales records every year since 2014
▪ Renault launched Master 2 in 1997 and Master 3 in 2010
▪ Master is available in 350 versions with three heights, four lengths and useful load volume of 8 to 22 m3.

Produced at the Batilly plant (France)

Master has been produced at the Renault Sovab plant in Batilly since 1980. The plant has nearly 2,700 employees and has hired 370 people in the last four years. In parallel, the site’s business activity generates nearly 5,000 indirect jobs locally. Eighty-four per cent of the plant’s suppliers are based in France. Produced at Renault’s Batilly plant in France and Curitiba plant in Brazil since 2009, Renault Master is the market leader in France, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Brazil and Morocco.

Extra style, with no compromises on functionality

Front-end metamorphosis for greater robustness
The comprehensive restyle is consistent with the shared visual identity of the other models in Renault’s LCV range. New Master gains extra robustness through a more expressive and dynamic front end:
▪ New vertical-design grille
▪ The C-Shape light signature, fit as standard, embodying the identity of the Renault range
▪ A higher hood line
▪ Reinforced bumpers and front wings.

The contrast between the vertical emphasis of the grille and the horizontal emphasis of the hood lends New Master a strong and powerful look. A handlebar-shaped chrome grille and additional chrome strips bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to the front-end design.

New Master is being launched with new opaque body paint, “Urban Gray”.

Enhanced interior design: top-quality materials and pure styling
New Master has taken on passenger-car cues. The interior gains in quality through the use of higher-quality, darker and less glossy materials. The designers have created more horizontal, simple and pure lines.
