雷诺近日在英国举行的2014商用车展上发布了Master改款车。改款车第一眼就能辨认出来，它采用的改款格栅集成了更大的雷诺车标。虽然其他的变化有限，但新车可提供四种不同的车身长度和各种不同的规格，包括箱式货车，双排驾驶室，载货用车和带驾驶室底盘车型。更大的变化是新车搭载了一台新的2.3升dCi引擎，输出功率为81千瓦/110马力，92千瓦/125马力，99千瓦/135马力和121千瓦/165马力。虽然动力比前款车型更强劲，但雷诺表示，搭载121千瓦/165马力引擎的车型百公里油耗比前款车型降低1.5升。谈到燃油经济性，Master改款车还采用了ECO节油模式，可进一步优化引擎和空调系统，使油耗进一步最多降低10%。另外，获得提升的助力转向也可降低燃油消耗，在车辆低速行驶时转向力度也进一步降低。最后，新款Master还提供了各种安全设备，包括坡起辅助，电子稳定控制，拖车稳定辅助和抓地力增强系统，可使车辆在雪地，沙地和泥泞路面行驶时进一步优化牵引力。

 

Renault Master facelift unveiled with an improved diesel engine

Renault has introduced the facelifted Master at the 2014 Commercial Vehicle Show in the United Kingdom.

 

Looking instantly recognizable, the facelifted model adopts a revised grille with a larger Renault emblem. Additional changes are limited but the Master will be available in four lengths and a variety of different configurations including a panel van, a crew cab, a platform cab and a chassis cab.

 

Bigger changes occur under the hood as there's a 2.3-liter dCi engine that has outputs of 110 PS (81 kW), 125 PS (92 kW), 135 PS (99 kW) and 165 PS (121 kW). Despite being more powerful than its predecessor, Renault says models equipped with 165 PS (121 kW) engine will consume up to 1.5 L/100km less than its predecessor.

 

Speaking of fuel efficiency, the Master has also been equipped with an ECOmode system that optimizes the engine and climate control system for fuel saving of up to10 percent. There's also an improved power steering system that reduces fuel consumption and the amount of effort required to turn at low speeds.

 

Last but not least, the van offers a variety of improved safety systems including Hill Start Assist, Electronic Stability Control, Trailer Swing Assist and an Extended Grip system that promises to optimize traction when driving on snow, sand or mud.
