The Renault Master is being updated for 2020

Nearly nine years have passed since the current-generation Master was launched, so Renault has decided to give its large van another facelift.

Styling changes are concentrated at the front end. As well as an elevated bonnet line, the grille, bumper unit and headlights have all been redesigned.

Inside, a revised dashboard incorporates a 5” information display between the main instruments, a better-integrated central navigation screen and some chrome highlights. In addition, the seat fabric is more durable than before and the load space gains LED lighting.

A 2.3 litre diesel engine with twin turbochargers powers the latest Master. Although full details have yet to be revealed, outputs of up to 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS) with 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) of torque are promised. Customers will have a choice of either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission.

Alternatively, the Master Z.E. features a 75 bhp (57 kW / 76 PS) R75 electric motor that allows a top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h). Real-world urban driving range is claimed to be 75 miles (120 kilometres) thanks to a 33 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, but that figure could drop to just 50 miles (80 kilometres) under arduous conditions. A full recharge takes six hours using a dedicated 32 amp / 7.4 kW wall box.

The 2020 Master is going to be available in numerous guises including panel van (four lengths and three heights), chassis cab, platform cab and minibus. Gross vehicle weights vary from 2.8 to 4.5 tonnes.

Deliveries are scheduled to start in September.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
