The French Renault Master light truck is one of the most popular trucks on the market. Moreover, he is in demand not only in his homeland, but also far beyond its borders. And now the third generation of these trucks is successfully delivered to the Russian market. But is Renault Master really profitable for business? Owner reviews and car review - later in our article.

Compact and dynamic

The main purpose of all modifications of Renault Master cars is the transportation of goods over relatively short distances.

This can be interregional flights or daily delivery of goods to points within the same city. And thanks to its compact size, this car can safely drive through any courtyard and street, regardless of whether it is the city center or the outskirts. Another thing is heavy trucks. Here you can’t spin around the city in any way.

What can this car carry?

A modern Renault Master truck is capable of transporting cargo weighing from 1.5 to 3.5 tons with a volume of 10-18 or more cubic meters at a time (depending on the length of the frame and modification).

One of the distinguishing features of the "Master" is its front-wheel drive chassis layout. The location of the drive axle in front of the car made it possible to make the floor level of the cargo compartment as convenient as possible for loading and unloading goods.

And it transports a variety of types of cargo, ranging from perishable products to building materials. Of course, one truck is not able to deliver all this - each product has its own modification of the "booth". There are tilt options, isothermal, manufactured goods vans, as well as all-metal minibuses.

Comfort

A lot of attention was paid to the level of driver comfort. Despite the fact that this car is mostly operated in the city, French engineers have created such a comfortable and practical interior that drivers do not feel very tired even on long-haul flights.

The seat deserves special attention. The driver's seat on the "Master" is equipped with individual adjustments for height and backrest. The steering column is also adjustable. For added convenience, air conditioning, an audio system and power windows are included.

What else can surprise the interior of a Renault Master truck? Owner reviews note many different drawers, shelves and niches that are not soenough in our domestic GAZelles. Thus, even with a large amount of documentation, the driver can sort everything in order. There will definitely not be a mess in such a salon - everything can be arranged, as they say, on the shelves. In general, the interior of the Renault Master car (a photo of the truck can be seen a little below) is very ergonomic, its layout is quite practical.

Specifications

The main power unit installed on the car is a 101-horsepower turbodiesel, which is aggregated by a six-speed manual transmission. According to car owners, the engine (Renault Master TDI) is very economical in terms of fuel consumption. In the combined cycle, it consumes about 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. This efficiency was achieved through the use of a new Common Rail direct injection system. By the way, outside the city limits, the fuel consumption indicator decreases by another 1.5 liters - up to 7.0 liters. The resource of this diesel engine is almost 1 million kilometers, and during operation under the hood, it is enough to change filters and add oil.

How does Renault Master behave in practice? Owner reviews note the high dynamism and power of the diesel unit. The car is controlled so easily that sometimes you can not distinguish it from a passenger car. As for the transmission, the drivers did not make any claims on the technical side of the 6-speed "mechanics". In general, this gearbox has been installed for a long time on Renault and is currently one of the most reliable and convenient inoperation.

Finding spare parts at Renault Master is also not difficult. Moreover, you can order them directly from the dealer and install them at the branded service station. This opportunity became available immediately after the French concern began to officially accept orders for the supply of cars to Russia.

Are there any drawbacks to Renault Master?

Owner reviews say yes. True, they are not so significant as to scold this model. The most serious drawback, according to motorists, is the weak power of the stove, which does not withstand Russian winters. The solution to this problem will be the installation of the Webasto system, but for this convenience you will have to pay about 1000-1200 US dollars.

For the rest, drivers characterize the Renault Master as a dynamic, reliable and unpretentious car with acceptable fuel consumption and a comfortable cabin.
