Choose the eSprinter if...
The eSprinter trades payload for range and battery size, so fleets running it for last-mile and urban delivery routes typically spec the heavier 4.15-4.25t GVW derivatives to recover payload lost to the battery pack.
Payload varies sharply by battery size (81kWh vs 113kWh) and plated GVW (3.5t vs 4.15-4.25t); figures shown cover L2 and L3 panel van body lengths only.
Full specifications →Choose the Master if...
The Master's twin-rear-wheel derivatives at 3,500-4,500 kg GVW give it some of the highest payloads in its class, and its towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes suits trades that also pull a trailer.
Payload ranges reflect FWD diesel derivatives across trims and drivetrains at each length/height; the E-Tech electric Master and 4.5t twin-wheel derivatives are quoted separately by Renault.
