What is the Renault Master?

The Renault Master is a type of vehicle known as a light commercial vehicle. This means it's built for work, like carrying goods or tools. It's bigger than a regular car but smaller than a huge truck.

A Van for Many Jobs

People use the Renault Master for lots of different tasks. It can be a delivery van, a minibus to carry people, or even a special vehicle for construction workers. Its large size makes it very useful for businesses.

Generations of the Renault Master

The Renault Master has changed its design three times since it was first made. Each new design is called a "generation."

First Generation (1980–1997)

The very first Renault Master vans came out in 1980. They had a unique, round shape. These vans were built to be strong and reliable for work.

Second Generation (1997–2010)

In 1997, Renault launched the second version of the Master. This design was more modern and had better features. This is also when other companies started selling it under different names.

Opel Movano and Vauxhall Movano

The second-generation Master was also sold as the Opel Movano and Vauxhall Movano. These vans were exactly the same as the Renault Master, just with different badges. This helped them reach more customers in different countries.

Nissan Interstar

Another version of this van was the Nissan Interstar. Nissan is a Japanese car company that works with Renault. So, the Interstar was also a Renault Master underneath!

Third Generation (2010–Present)

The newest version of the Renault Master came out in 2010. It has an even more modern look and updated technology. This generation continues to be a popular choice for businesses.

Latest Models and Updates

The third generation has had some updates over the years. These updates often include new engines, better fuel efficiency, and improved comfort for the driver. It's still sold as the Opel Movano and Vauxhall Movano, and also as the Nissan NV400.
