Renault Korea announced on the 13th that it will secure and sell 700 units of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) Renault Master. This model is in high demand for work vehicles such as cargo transport and camper vans.


As a representative light commercial model with over 3 million units sold worldwide, it was first launched domestically in 2018. Although there has been steady demand, supply shortages since last year have led to long customer wait times. Only 68 units were sold last year, and not a single unit has been sold up to last month this year.

The secured units include the Master Van S (Standard) and Master Van L (Large). They share the same engine displacement but differ in fuel efficiency, cargo capacity, overall length, and wheelbase. The 2.3ℓ twin-turbo diesel engine in these vehicles delivers a maximum output of 150 horsepower and torque of 39.3 kg·m. A crosswind correction function is included as a standard feature.


The prices remain the same as before: 36.85 million KRW for the Master Van S and 38.45 million KRW for the Van L. They come with a 3-year/100,000 km free warranty. Hwang Jaeseop, Executive Director of Renault Korea, said, "With a high roof height that allows an adult male to walk comfortably and a very low loading floor height, it offers high versatility for various businesses."
