The Renault Master has been named ‘Van of the Year’ at the Motor Trader Commercial Industry Awards 2026, building on its reputation as the go-to large van for fleets and businesses looking for a versatile LCV that works in every sense.
This latest award underlines the Renault Master’s hard-working character, refined for the needs of modern operators. Built on a foundation of durability, it features efficient performance, smart design and a strong focus on driver usability.
Highlighting the factors that made the Renault Master the stand-out choice, the judging panel said: “What’s not to like? The Renault Master continues the legacy of being a great workhorse but a huge amount of work has gone into the design of this van. From aerodynamic styling to an exceptional turning circle and that excellent visibility from the cab, the van has been created with the driver in mind, but also with a focus on productivity.”
Seb Brechon, Head of LCV and Brand Performance, Renault UK, said: “Renault Master has built its reputation on delivering exactly what operators need day in, day out, and this award recognises how far that capability has been taken with the latest generation. From its efficiency and manoeuvrability to the quality of the driving environment, it’s a van designed to help businesses get more from every working day.”
The Renault Master is available with loadspaces ranging from 11 to 14.8 cubic metres, and in multiple lengths and heights, ensuring it provides a solution for a wide range of trades and operational requirements.
The Master’s appeal is further strengthened by its advanced connectivity, high levels of standard equipment and up to 20 driver assistance systems, supporting safety, comfort and efficiency in everyday use. Its cabin combines a durable, premium feel with practical storage solutions, ensuring it works as a true mobile workspace.
For fleets transitioning to electric, the Renault Master E-Tech electric offers a compelling proposition, providing a driving range of up to 285 miles (WLTP) alongside low running costs and zero tailpipe emissions.
The Renault Master range starts from £33,500 plus VAT, with Master E-Tech electric models available from £37,500 plus VAT after PiVG.
