While trucks and trailers will of course take centre stage at Melbourne’s looming International Truck, Trailer & Equipment Show, Renault Australia will also be there to promote its burgeoning range of Master light commercial vehicles.
It will be the first time Renault has showcased its full Master range in Australia since the addition of the platform’s sub-4500kg rear-wheel-drive variants last year, giving showgoers a great opportunity to browse and compare models in the range, which spans both front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive formats as well as single-cab and dual-cab/chassis and van versions.
The rear-wheel-drive High Roof van will also be there, along with the recently released Low Roof short-wheelbase Master, with the mid-wheelbase, mid-roof Master slotting in between. That gives prospective customers a choice of 8m³, 10.8m³ and 17m³ of cargo space across those three models.
The entire Renault Master range is powered by a Euro 5-compliant, 2.3-litre turbo-diesel, paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automated Quickshift gearbox.
Backed by a three-year, 200,000km factory warranty, Master buyers will also benefit from capped-price servicing of $349 for the first three annual services.
Renault Australia’s LCV Model Line Manager, Lyndon Healey, says the expanded Master range covers myriad applications.
“The Renault Master range is a diverse universe and can accommodate the needs of a wide variety of business users, from owner/drivers to tradesmen, couriers, logistics fleets as well as food and hospitality service providers,” he says.
“The Master range starts from a very competitively priced $39,990 (drive away) for the Low Roof short-wheelbase model, but price is not the end of the story. We are very focused on providing an efficient and affordable total cost-of-ownership profile, which encompasses our Capped Price Servicing, long factory warranty as well as our in-house Renault Financial Services arm, which can tailor a finance and insurance package for our customers.
“When you add this to our list of approved converters and installers who can fit a tailor-made body or an interior fit-out to a customer’s exact requirements, you can see that Renault Light Commercial Vehicle dealers can provide a one-stop shop for all van or large ute requirements.
Renault Australia will be located at stand BH 89 in the Boulevard Pavilion at the 2014 ITTES, which will be held at Melbourne’s Royal Showgrounds over April 3-6.
