Pricing and specification details for the next-generation version of Renault's best-selling model in Australia, the Master van, have been confirmed ahead of local showroom arrivals next month.
Priced from $55,990 before on-road costs, the 2026 Renault Master – which debuted in Europe two-and-a-half years ago – features electric power for the first time in Australia, along with an upgraded diesel.
The new-generation Master, replacing the outgoing model that dates back to 2010, will be offered in medium- and long-wheelbase front-wheel-drive configurations in Australia, with a standard-height roof.
An optional high roof is also available for the long-wheelbase diesel model.
Diesel models feature a new 125kW/380Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder matched with a six-speed manual or a nine-speed torque-converter automatic, replacing the outgoing 2.3-litre turbo-diesel with a conventional manual or an automated manual transmission (AMT).
It has been certified to the Euro 6 emission standards, mandatory for 'heavy vehicles' in Australia since November 2025, and now requires AdBlue diesel fuel additive to clean up tailpipe emissions, with a 20-litre tank.
The Master E-Tech electric van – starting from $77,990 – adds an 87kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery and a 105kW/300Nm front motor, along with Google built-in services for its infotainment system.
Renault claims its 409-kilometre WLTP driving range rating is "one of the longest driving ranges in the electric large van segment", ahead of the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter (359km), Ford E-Transit (295-307km) and LDV eDeliver 9 (280km).
All grades include a larger 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, up from seven inches, with wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey said the new-generation Master van is a "key part" of the brand's "model revitalisation".
“Last year Renault Australia promised six new models in the next 18 months and the new-generation Renault Master shows we are delivering," Sealey said. "Plus there is more to come.”
The 2026 Renault Master diesel van will arrive in Australian showrooms in June, followed by the 2026 Renault Master E-Tech electric van "in the second half of this year".
