Renault Master - owner feedback and car review

The French small-capacity truck Renault Master is one of the most popular in the market of cargo transportation. And he is in demand not only in his homeland, but also far beyond its borders. And now the third generation of these trucks is successfully delivered to the Russian market. But is the Renault Master really profitable for business? Owner reviews and car review - later in this article.

Compact and dynamic

The main purpose of all modifications of the Renault Master cars is the transportation of goods for relatively short distances. It can be inter-regional flights or daily delivery of goods to points within the boundaries of one city. And thanks to its compact dimensions, this car can safely pass through any courtyard and street, regardless of whether it is the city center or the outskirts. Another matter - heavy trucks. Here in the city you can not turn around.

What is capable to transport this car?

The modern Renault Master Wagon is able to transfer a weight of 1.5 to 3.5 tons with a volume of 10-18 and more cubic meters at a time (depending on the length of the frame and modification).

One of the distinguishing features of the "Master" is its front-wheel drive layout. The location of the leading bridge in the front part of the car made it possible to make the floor level of the cargo compartment as convenient as possible for loading and unloading the goods.

And he transports a variety of types of cargo, ranging from perishable products, ending with building materials. Of course, all this one truck is not able to deliver - for each product there is a modification of the "booth". There are tilt options, isothermal, manufactured goods vans, as well as all-metal minibuses.

Comfortability

Much attention was paid to the level of driver comfort. Despite the fact that this car is mostly used throughout the city, French engineers have created such a convenient and practical salon that drivers do not feel very tired even on long-distance flights.

The seat deserves special attention. The driver's seat on the "Master" is equipped with individual adjustments for the height and inclination of the backrest. The steering column is also adjustable . For more convenience, the complete set includes the conditioner, an audiosystem and electric window regulators.

What else can surprise the saloon truck Renault Master? The owners' comments mark a lot of different boxes, shelves and niches, which are so lacking in our domestic GAZel. Thus, even with a large number of documentation, the driver can sort everything in order. Bardak in this salon just will not be - everything can be arranged, as they say, on the shelves. In general, the interior of the car "Renault Master" (photo of the truck can be seen a little lower) is very ergonomic, its layout is quite practical.

Specifications

The main power unit, installed on the machine - 101-strong turbodiesel, which is aggregated six-speed manual transmission. According to car owners, the engine (Renault Master TDI) is very economical in terms of fuel consumption. In a mixed cycle, it consumes about 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers of track. Such profitability was achieved through the use of the new direct injection system Common Common. By the way, outside the city, the fuel consumption rate is reduced by another 1.5 liters - up to 7.0 liters. The resource of this diesel engine is almost 1 million kilometers, and during operation under the hood it is enough to change the filters and top up the oil.

How does the Renault Master behave in practice? The owners' comments mark the high dynamism and power of the diesel unit. The car is controlled so easily that sometimes you can not tell it from a car. As for the transmission, to the 6-step "mechanics", no claims were made on the technical part of the drivers. In general, this gearbox is installed long ago on the "Renault" and at the moment is one of the most reliable and convenient to operate.

Find on the "Renault Master" spare parts is also not difficult. And they can be ordered directly from the dealer and installed on the company's service station. This opportunity became available immediately after the French concern began officially accepting orders for the supply of cars to Russia.

Are there any shortcomings with the Renault Master?

Reviews of the owners say that there is. True, they are not so significant as to scold this model. The most serious drawback, according to motorists, is the weak power of the stove, which does not withstand Russian winters. The solution to this problem will be the installation of the "Webasto" system, but for this convenience it will be necessary to lay out about 1000-1200 US dollars.

Otherwise, the drivers characterize the Renault Master as a dynamic, reliable and unpretentious car with acceptable fuel consumption and a comfortable cabin.
