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.
Full specifications →Choose the Movano if...
The Movano mirrors the Renault Master's engineering and payload spread, and its Heavy derivatives at 4.25t GVW give UK fleets a way to boost payload past 2 tonnes without a driver needing a C1 licence upgrade beyond the standard 3.5t threshold on the base models.
Figures span L2-L4 lengths, H1-H3 roof heights and 3.5t/4.25t GVW derivatives in both diesel and electric; drivers of the 4.25t derivatives need a category C1 licence as these exceed the standard 3,500 kg car-licence limit.
