The Renault Master has once again proven its dominance in the large van sector, clinching the title of ‘Best Large Van’ for a second consecutive year at the 2026 Parkers Van and Pickup Awards. Judges praised its practicality, reliability, and cutting-edge electric technology, confirming the Master as the go-to choice for businesses seeking efficiency, versatility, and value.
“Winning the Best Large Van award for the second year running is a fantastic achievement for Renault,” said Keith Adams, Editor at Parkers. “The Master E-Tech combines practicality and reliability with a level of electric know-how that few rivals can match. It’s a sign of just how far Renault’s commercial vehicle line-up has evolved – tough, efficient and ready for the future.”
Tom Webster, Parkers’ Van Editor, highlighted the key strengths that secured the Master’s continued dominance: “The Renault Master was a clear winner once again in the ‘Large Van’ category. It remains the outstanding option in many areas that are crucial to van buyers. It’s efficient, practical, good to drive and offers a modern, comfortable cabin that makes every workday easier.
“Then there’s the fantastic electric option that sits alongside a range of strong and powerful engines. While 2025 hasn’t seen major changes to the Master, the addition of a slick automatic gearbox has enhanced its offering. Above all, the Master is excellent value for money, making it the pick of the class.”
Adam Wood, Managing Director and Country Head of Renault Group UK, said: “Retaining the ‘Best Large Van’ title is a huge vote of confidence from the experts and reflects what our customers experience every day. The Renault Master isn’t just award-winning on paper – it’s designed to make every job and every mile easier. From generous load space to practical cabin design and efficient powertrains, the Master truly delivers for businesses of all sizes.”
