FactIn 2016, Renault gave its big city delivery van a dirt-road side hustle: an off-road, four-wheel-drive version of the Master.
A new generation of the Renault Master was introduced in the summer of 2010, again including the rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Movano and Nissan NV400 (the first time either has had single/twin rear wheel drive). The M-type 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel is shared by all four marques in three states of tune, from 100 PS (99 bhp) to 150 PS (148 bhp); Renault Trucks discontinued the Mascott and sold the Master III in chassis-cab format only, with payloads up to 2.5 tonnes, and in the UK the Movano could carry up to 4,500 kg. The grille was facelifted in April 2014 (Renault and Renault Trucks only), an off-road four-wheel-drive version was announced on 18 April 2016, and a facelifted model followed in September 2019. The Master Z.E. battery-electric van was introduced in 2018 with a 33 kWh battery and the 57 kW (76 hp) R75 motor from the Zoe and Kangoo Z.E. (225 N·m, 120 km / 75 mi WLTP range); the battery grew to 52 kWh in spring 2022 for 190 km (120 mi), and at the 2022 Paris Motor Show HYVIA presented a hydrogen Master Van H2-Tech. In Summer 2021 the Opel/Vauxhall Movano was replaced by a Fiat Ducato-based model.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The new Master doesn't commit to one fuel: Renault sells the fourth generation with a choice of internal combustion, electric, or hydrogen power.
In 2016, Renault gave its big city delivery van a dirt-road side hustle: an off-road, four-wheel-drive version of the Master.
This one heavy-duty Renault van wore at least five different names depending on the country — Mascott, Master, Master LDT, Master Maxi, and Master Propulsion — all for the same truck.
This Master shares its doors and other cab panels with a rival, the second Iveco Daily, under a deal the two signed in July 1994.
A 4x4 Master-based B90 truck ran the 1987 Paris-Dakar Rally, the rough-terrain test its round door handles never suggested.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
