Low-tonnage means that the vehicle is designed to transport people (up to 19 people in Russia and up to 17 people in other countries), as well as small-tonnage cargo in its cargo version.
Cargo version this car can be controlled with driving license category "B", which means that the total weight of the car should not exceed 3.5 tons. New car Renault Master of the third generation in Russia has been available since 2010. Especially interesting this model in the secondary market.
Due to the lack of confidence of citizens in the company, the manufacturer of Renault cars in Russia, this car is sold inexpensively, which does not affect its quality in any way. A photo of the new model is presented below.
We will figure out whether such a car is suitable for earning money, what are the dimensions of the body of a truck, van and the dimensions of the cargo-passenger version of the car, as well as the dimensions of the cargo compartment. We will also find out what the real owners and specialists think of Renault Master.
To begin with, it should be noted that Renault Master is primarily a commercial vehicle, which means that the appearance of such a car plays one of the last roles, if not the least. True, this does not mean at all that the appearance of the car is bad. We present a photo of the new model of the Renault Master utility vehicle in an orange body.
Exterior
The first two generations of Renault Master had a rather bland appearance. The first generation of this car even slightly resembles the RAF, which is not surprising given the year it was produced.
The second generation has become more "pop-eyed" and has gained recognition. The last generation Renault Master already has its own, special appearance, which, by the way, is quite pretty, albeit completely non-aggressive. I must admit, the French can make pretty "faces" for their cars. Otherwise, this car looks like a regular van for transporting goods or passengers.
Interior
Renault Master in the cabin looks like a completely ordinary commercial vehicle of the middle class. Not worse, but not better than classmates. Its interior has a slightly different shape of the torpedo, steering wheel, seats and other things, but there are still no fundamental differences.
Renault Master in the photo can see just a huge number of different pockets for small things, documents and other things. In general, for everything that a driver may need while driving, or that needs to be quickly accessed.
The plastic is hard, but the car is assembled well, and as a result extraneous sounds not so much. In addition, the gearshift lever is conveniently located, it is not on the floor, but in the torpedo, which makes it easier to change gears.
The ability to place the lever there is associated with the technical characteristics of the car, namely, with the fact that the car is front-wheel drive. Security is also great. If the driver is wearing a seat belt, then in a collision with passenger carmost likely, neither the driver nor the passenger will be harmed.

Renault has thought through its commercial Renault Master model quite well. The peculiarity of this car is that the buyer essentially takes an empty base, which can be short, medium, long or extra-long. Moreover, the first two configurations can only be in the front-wheel drive version, the last version only with rear wheel driveand the long wheelbase is sold with both front and rear wheel drive.
Now about the prices for Renault Master car as of 2018-2019:
- Minimum price for front-wheel drive and the short base is RUB 1,660,000.
- The maximum amount will have to pay for an extra-long base on the rear wheel drive. It will be 2 080 990 rubles.

Mods overview
Model history and purpose
First generation
The first Renault Master model was in development for several years. Her debut took place in 1980. Initially, the car got diesel unit Fiat-Sofim with a volume of 2.4 liters. Later, a 2.1-liter diesel engine appeared. Since 1984, the line of power units has been added gasoline engines 2- and 2.2-liter volumes. A distinctive feature of the first Renault Master was unusual round-shaped door handles (similar to Fiat Ritmo) and a side sliding door. Soon the French brand sold the rights to the family to Opel. Initially, the production of cars was carried out at the Renault plant, and then it was transferred to the SoVAB plant located in Batiya.
Externally, the car did not look very presentable. An angular body, large rectangular headlights, a classic radiator grille did not add to the attractiveness of the model.
Initially, demand for Renault Master was low, but panel vans quickly gained popularity. An additional advantage of the car was the great cargo holdthat consumers liked. However, the debut generation Renault Master was losing to competitors (especially to Fiat carriers). However, it lasted 17 years.
Second generation
In 1997, the French presented the second generation Renault Master. A year later, the car was recognized as the "Best Truck of the Year". From the second generation, the model acquired features that have survived to this day. The car was distinguished by slightly chopped edges and a sliding structure. At the same time, the French frankly copied some elements from the Fiat Ritmo and Fiat Strada models (door designs, handles). However, Renault called all claims of a competitor unfounded.
Renault Master II has become much more attractive and received a "European look". At the front, a large bumper with niches for foglights, rounded hood lines, large headlights and a brand logo that divided the grille in half were striking.
All modifications of the Renault Master II were assembled in the north-east of France and distinguished themselves by the highest quality. The engine range has expanded markedly and included diesel engines of the G-Type series (developed by Renault), Sofim 8140 and YD (developed by Nissan). A 5- and 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission were used as transmissions.
In 2003, Renault Master II underwent a global restyling, within which the outline of the body became softer and the area of \u200b\u200bthe headlights was increased. The model has become more like Renault Trafic.
Third generation
The third generation Renault Master was presented in the spring of 2010. The car immediately began to be produced under several brands (Nissan NV400, Vauxhall Movano, Opel Movano). The exterior of the model has been revised. Here there were huge teardrop-shaped headlights, a luxurious massive bumper and clear lines of the front end. Lighting technology and protection of the body panels at the front and rear emphasized the reliability, solidity and modernity of the car. In terms of design, Renault Master III turned out to be very interesting. It was possible to give the car even more individuality by choosing the design of the sides (glazed or conventional).
The dimensions of the model have increased slightly, which has made it possible to expand the useful volume to 14.1 cubic meters. The thresholds have been specially optimized for unloading and loading.
The line of power units has undergone changes. This includes motors with a capacity of 100-150 hp.
In 2016, the French introduced a special version of the Renault Master X-Track with increased ground clearance, underbody protection and a limited slip differential. Later, an all-wheel drive variation of the Renault Master 4 × 4 model appeared.
Today the car is used in various fields, but Renault Master vans have gained the most popularity, which are used to transport goods of various volumes.
Specifications

Device
The range of commercial vehicles especially clearly reflects the corporate identity of the French brand. Renault Master is a vivid confirmation of this. The car body is both practical and high-quality, highlighted by a large decorative grille, which adds personality to the model. Side protection and a large front bumper make driving safer. French assembly guarantees highest quality all nodes. The model is distinguished by low operating costs. External elements (doors, hood and others) have a long service life. It is no coincidence that the manufacturer provides a 6-year corrosion protection guarantee. One of the components of durability is the decorative coating of the body.
The front suspension for the model was constructed using an upper jet thrust from 2 levers. This scheme is different wide profileallowing to control the movement of the machine on wet road... For the front wheels provided independent suspension... The latest generation Renault Master is equipped with suspension and undercarriagewhich are known for their excellent directional stability. The wide track provides additional control on any type of surface. Regardless of the load, stable suspension performance is maintained. The basis rear suspension lay down the trailing arm.
The Renault Master brake system stands out for its increased efficiency. Ventilated disc brakes are used at the front, disc brakes at the rear.
On russian market versions of the car with front and rear wheel drive are available. A 6-speed transmission is offered as a transmission mechanical box gear. Sixth speed improves consumption characteristics car and increases the acoustic comfort inside. The shift lever travel in the Renault Master III is shorter and the shift effort is reduced. In this case, all gears are switched extremely clearly. By revising the ratio gear ratios in the gearbox the acceleration dynamics of the car increased.
Inside, the latest Renault Master is an incredibly thoughtful product. In the cockpit there are many storage facilities for items of different purpose and size. There are pockets for change and capacious niches for documents. This allows the driver or freight forwarder to pack everything needed. Visibility to the sides and through the windshield is ideal. In addition, the driver can adjust the steering wheel height to the optimum position. The hydraulic booster allows you not to exert additional efforts during control. The seats deserve special attention. The driver's seat effectively minimizes vibrations and vibrations regardless of the person's weight. "Speed \u200b\u200bbumps" are practically not felt on it. Also available with height adjustment and lumbar support (already in the basic version).
The Renault Master III is smart and looks more like an expensive long-range truck than a delivery van designed for the city and its environs.
