Master is the biggest van in the Renault light commercial range, with four configurations offering up to 12.6 cubic metres in space. Power is supplied by a 2.5 litre common rail turbo diesel engine, and the Master comes with a six-speed robotized Quickshift gearbox that slips effortlessly between automatic and manual modes.

But it's as much thoroughbred as workhorse. For example, the cabin is designed ergonomically with everything you need within easy reach. Dashboards and instrumentation are clean and uncluttered. Controls fall naturally to hand. 'Options' like air-conditioning and CD players are standard. Driving positions are high and large glass areas maximise visibility.

And since you spend your life on the road, there are plenty of stowage spaces, big and small. There's even an air-chilled glovebox with room for two 1.5 litre bottles. All of which help you drive efficiently, safely and without fatigue.

The Master's efficient exterior shape belies a huge, efficiently designed interior space. Available in three wheel bases and three roof heights, there's almost 1.3m between wheel arches and between 2.63m and 3.63m in platform length.
