The Renault Master has once again secured its place at the top of the commercial vehicle market by being named ‘Best Large Van’ for the second consecutive year at the 2026 Parkers Van and Pickup Awards. This achievement reinforces Renault’s commitment to innovation, quality, and meeting the evolving needs of businesses across the UK and beyond.
A Proven Performer in the Large Van Segment
Renault’s flagship large van continues to stand out for its reliability, practicality, and forward-thinking technology. Designed to deliver on performance while offering everyday usability, the Master has become a trusted partner for thousands of businesses.
The judges praised its versatile load space, fuel efficiency, and robust design, which make it equally suited to city deliveries, long-distance transport, and heavy-duty work. Whether powered by traditional internal combustion or advanced electric technology, the Master remains one of the most capable and dependable vans in its class.
“Winning the Best Large Van award for the second year running is a fantastic achievement for Renault,” said Keith Adams, Editor at Parkers. “The Master E-Tech combines practicality and reliability with electric expertise that few rivals can match. It shows how far Renault’s commercial vehicle range has evolved. It is tough, efficient, and ready for the future.”
Efficiency and Comfort Designed Around the Driver
Tom Webster, Van Editor at Parkers, explained why the Renault Master continues to outperform its competition.
“The Renault Master was a clear winner in the Large Van category once again. It stands out in every key area that matters most to professional drivers and fleet operators. It is efficient, practical, comfortable to drive, and features a cabin that is both modern and functional.”
He also highlighted that 2025 brought subtle but valuable updates to the range. The addition of a smooth automatic gearbox has enhanced the driving experience, making the Master even easier to operate in busy urban environments or on long motorway journeys. With a wide range of powerful diesel engines and the outstanding E-Tech Electric version, the Master offers an option for every type of business. Webster concluded that the Master’s combination of performance, practicality, and exceptional value for money makes it the clear leader in its class.
