Renault Master Updated with New Features and Expanded Model Range
Europe's best-selling large van, the Renault Master, receives a series of upgrades in early 2026, including a redesigned center console, improved battery technology, and new model variants.
The Renault Master, which became the leader in the European large van segment in early 2026 for both internal combustion and electric versions, now introduces a host of new features. The updates focus on improving comfort, safety, and everyday usability.
A key change is the redesigned center console, which increases space by 90mm and facilitates movement between the cabin and cargo area. The middle passenger seat also benefits from more legroom. Keyless entry and start are now available across the range, along with an electric parking brake with Auto Hold and a driver attention camera as standard. Electric and automatic versions gain adaptive cruise control with steering wheel controls and a digital instrument panel.
The E-Tech electric version features a new 87 kWh battery with medium nickel chemistry (50-60%), enhancing thermal management and charging performance. The standard bidirectional charger is 11 kW, with an optional 22 kW unit. V2G (vehicle-to-grid) functionality will be available from September 2026 in select countries. A 220V power outlet in the cabin and cargo area provides up to 3500W.
The model range expands with a new E-Tech chassis cab featuring a 40 kWh battery, designed for municipal and urban use. For campervan converters, a wider rear track (by 120mm) is offered. Continuing sustainability efforts, the upper dashboard now contains 20% recycled plastic from end-of-life vehicles.
Under the "Converted by Renault" brand, the factory-modified range adds new platforms and tipper versions in aluminum or steel, developed by JPM and Gruau. A high-capacity model (20-23 m³) and a bus version are planned.
