Renault Master III

Renault Master III is a large van for delivery work, trades, shuttle use and anyone who needs a boxy load bay rather than a car-like cabin. By our assessment, its strength is simple cargo volume and the way the Master line is built around hauling and conversions, so it shows up a lot as a panel van, crew van or chassis for specialist bodies. The trade-off is the same one most big vans make: it is not nimble, it asks for space to park, and the unloaded ride can feel busy. In practice it is a work tool, with wide doors, tall sides and an interior that is more about durability than comfort. Against smaller vans it gives more room and more body options, but it is less friendly in tight streets and daily errands. It suits fleets and contractors more than private drivers, and the manual, utilitarian feel is part of the deal.
