Groupe Renault is upgrading its light commercial vehicle range with enhanced styling, connectivity and bespoke features. To respond to new customer needs, the New Master and New Trafic have gained stronger design, powertrains and equipment: imposing and meticulous design, new engines, bespoke cabins for professionals, robustness, driving comfort, and 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.
Featuring a new front end, the New Master has also been redesigned inside. The cabin comes with 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 with new advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The New Master Z.E., Renault’s fourth electric vehicle, joined the Group’s LCV line-up in 2017.
New Master gains extra robustness through a more expressive and dynamic front end, with a new vertical-design grille, a C-Shape light signature, fit as standard, embodying the identity of the Renault range, a higher hood line, and reinforced bumpers and front wings.
Renault has restyled New Trafic with a more expressive grille and full LED headlights. The EDC automatic transmission offers comfort and seamless operation both in everyday maneuvers and out on the open road. Powered by new 2.0 dCi engines, it responds to all professional situations and to certain personal uses. Renault Trafic is also available in Combi, Bus and SpaceClass passenger-transport versions.
