The new Renault Master E-Tech has garnered top accolades in the competitive electric van segment, securing the prestigious title of “Best Electric Van” at the 2025 DrivingElectric Awards. The fourth-generation Master, now 100% electric, continues to redefine expectations for electric commercial vehicles, blending unrivaled practicality, innovative features, and an exceptional driving experience.
Paul Barker, Editor of DrivingElectric, lauded the Master E-Tech for its smooth driving dynamics and impressive cargo volume, which make it as versatile and useful as ever. “The Renault Master E-Tech has more rivals now than when it first arrived, but a smooth driving experience and huge cargo volume make it as useful as ever,” Barker remarked. This recognition builds on the Master E-Tech’s already sterling reputation, adding to Renault UK’s growing trophy cabinet. The van is also part of a lineup that contributed to Renault UK’s remarkable achievement of winning 53 awards in 2024. Furthermore, the Master E-Tech aligns with the current International Van of the Year title, further cementing its place as a leader in the commercial vehicle industry.
Efficiency Meets Practicality
The Renault Master E-Tech’s class-leading range of up to 285 miles per charge is a standout feature in the electric van market. With an 87kWh battery powering a 105kW motor, the Master E-Tech effortlessly delivers 300Nm of torque, ensuring impressive performance for a wide range of business needs. Whether for urban deliveries or longer regional routes, its long-range capabilities make it a viable alternative to traditional diesel-powered vans.
Recharging the Master E-Tech is fast and efficient. Thanks to a 130kW DC fast charger, the van can gain an impressive 142 miles of range in just 39 minutes—ideal for businesses that rely on uptime. For more leisurely charging, a 22kW AC charger can bring the battery from 10% to 100% in just under four hours.
But the Master E-Tech doesn’t just focus on range; it’s also built to be a workhorse. With a payload capacity of up to 1,482kg and the ability to tow up to 2.5 tonnes, the Master E-Tech is well-suited for transporting heavy goods or towing equipment. The ability to carry and power tools and devices, thanks to its upcoming Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature, provides an added layer of utility—perfect for trade professionals who need to charge or operate equipment on the go. The V2L capability is expected to arrive later in 2025, further enhancing the vehicle’s already impressive offering.
Modern Features, Advanced Technology
The Master E-Tech seamlessly combines practical capability with a modern, user-friendly design. The interior features a refined passenger car-like feel, offering enhanced space and comfort for drivers and passengers alike. A 10-inch OpenR Link touchscreen takes centre stage, allowing easy access to vehicle functions, navigation, and media. Google built-in further enhances the user experience, providing drivers with access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and a range of apps directly from the vehicle’s interface.
In addition to its impressive technology, the Master E-Tech is equipped with Advanced Aerovan aerodynamics, which optimize the vehicle’s range and efficiency. Up to 20 sophisticated driver assistance systems are also included, such as blind spot warning and pedestrian and cyclist collision warning. These features not only improve safety but also contribute to a more enjoyable and secure driving experience.
The Future of Electric Commercial Vehicles
Adam Wood, Managing Director of Renault UK, shared his excitement about the Master E-Tech’s continued success: “The New Master E-Tech is the pinnacle of Renault’s electrified van range and it is great to see it continue its winning streak.
