The latest version of
Vauxhall's Movano and Renault's Master goes on sale this week, in a continuing collaboration between the two van manufacturers. There are claimed improvements in performance and consumption over the outgoing versions, while there's also a step up to 4.5-tonne GVW.
The bolder styling should help give the vehicles a better identity in a world dominated by the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter. Maintenance costs are said to be down by 40% via extended service intervals and improved engine durability.
There's also a fuel consumption improvement of one litre/100km for the front-wheel drive versions, giving the new LCVs class-topping combined-cycle fuel consumption as low as 7.1litres/100km (187g of CO2/km).
The new rear-wheel drive versions, developed entirely by Renault, feature a monocoque construction for improved on-road performance and extra payload. The range has been extended to include an additional length option (L4, offering a carrying capacity of up to 17m3).
