Voted in Europe, Van of the Year 1998, Renault Master is available with more than 100 variations, including three wheelbases, three GVWs (2.8 tonnes, 3.3 tonnes and 3.5 tonnes) and 12 body types (van, nine-seater combi, chassis cab and double cab, open base, platform cab, 16-seater minibus, nine-seater minibus, tipper with single or double cab and drop side flat bed with single or double cab).

The turbodiesel engines with direct common-rail injection (1.9 dCi, 2.2 16V dCi and 2.5 16V dCi) improve performance and torque while keeping down operating costs. The new engines' improved fuel consumption is particularly striking, services involving an oil change need only be done every 18641 miles (or two years) and the engines can be expected to last at least 155342 miles.

Widely acclaimed for its excellent handling, Master also aims to achieve excellence in active and passive safety. With ABS and four disc brakes now fitted as standard, Master is still the benchmark in its segment. The efficient braking system enables it to stop in less than 45 metres, according to AMS braking tests.
