[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Renault Samsung Motors announced on the 26th that the newly launched New Renault Master van and bus models, released on the 16th, have been contracted for 615 units as of the previous day. The New Renault Master van model accounts for 374 units, and the bus model for 241 units.

Considering that the previous model sold a total of 3,652 units from its launch in October 2018 until February this year, the popularity appears to have increased.

The popularity of the New Renault Master is attributed to its upgraded interior and exterior design, which is at a complete change level despite being a partial facelift. In particular, the interior features a sophisticated design comparable to passenger cars. It applies a new passenger car-style dashboard, steering wheel, and gear knob, and also includes a new magic drawer with ample capacity and cold air circulation function, as well as a cluster equipped with a 3.5-inch TFT display.

The exterior design features 'C'-shaped daytime running lights along with newly designed headlights, bumpers, and radiator grille. This completes a clean design rarely seen in existing vans and cargo vehicles.

The previously differentiated seat belts remain applied. Fixed seats (not foldable) and 3-point seat belts are provided as standard on all seats. The 3-point seat belt crosses the shoulder and secures the waist, preventing the body from being thrown out in the event of a collision or sudden accident.

The prices are 29.99 million KRW for the New Master Van S, 31.99 million KRW for the New Master Van L, 37.29 million KRW for the New Master Bus 13-seater, and 46.99 million KRW for the New Master Bus 15-seater.

Kim Tae-jun, Head of Sales at Renault Samsung, said, “The Renault Master, with its European design, is creating a new wave in the domestic mid-size van and cargo vehicle market, offering consumers new choices,” adding, “It appeals to customers by combining the various advantages of the existing model with passenger car-level interior sensibility.”
