Renault Master Set to Make Electrifying Debut: New Spy Shots Unveil Progress and Potential for All-Electric Version

The next generation of the Renault Master, a popular light commercial vehicle, is currently under development and has been spotted in new spy shots with reduced camouflage.

The Master is Renault’s largest light commercial vehicle, which has been in production in its current form since 2010 and has been also available with Nissan, Opel, and Vauxhall badges. Its brand-new successor is now doing early evaluations on European roads with what appears to be a production body but, possibly, placeholder lights. The Renault Master isn’t sold in the United States but has been available in South America with local production in Brazil.

The upcoming Renault Master is expected to focus on electrification, with the possibility of an all-electric version being introduced. The current electric model is outdated with limited range, so an upgrade is anticipated.

The European market, where the Renault Master is primarily sold, still relies heavily on diesel engines for light commercial vehicles despite the push for electric vehicles. The prototypes captured in the spy shots feature combustion engines, indicating that diesel options will likely be available alongside potential electric powertrains.

The new Renault Master is slated for a market launch next year, either as a 2024 or 2025 model, depending on the exact release date.
