Renault Master received the award at the IAA Transportation, elected unanimously by a panel of experts from 25 European countries.
Last February, Renault Had Already Secured “Car of the Year” Title Thanks to Its Scenic E-Tech
The new Renault Master wins the title of Van of the Year 2025, awarded by the “International Van Of The Year” (IVOTY) jury. Its Aerovan design and new multi-energy platform make it the new standard on the market, and the most efficient vehicle in its class, across the ICE, electric, and hydrogen line-up.
Renault Master received its award at the 2025 International Van Of The Year (IVOTY) ceremony during IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany on 16 September. It was elected unanimously by a panel of experts representing 25 European countries.
“The IVOTY jury were impressed with the complete new design and high levels of innovation and technology developed for the new Master range, which features advanced aerodynamics, increased usability and enhanced efficiency, space, safety and comfort. Plus the fact that its new modular platform accommodates diesel, electric and hydrogen powertrains,” said Jarlath Sweeney, Chairman of the International Van of the Year Award jury.
“All attributes that meet the criteria for the award programme. Future-proofed. Congratulations to Renault Light Commercials on this well-deserved achievement,” he added.
“This is a wonderful reward and a true tribute to all the teams who worked on this project. New Master is a perfect example of what has made Renault’s light commercial vehicles amazing for more than 120 years: they are innovative, disruptive, multi-energy and designed to be customised in practically endless ways to meet each of our professional customers’ individual wants and needs,” commented Heinz-Jürgen Löw, Senior Vice President of Renault Light Commercials.
New Renault Master is the fifth Renault van to win this prominent title, following Renault Master II (IVOTY 1998), Renault Trafic II (IVOTY 2002), Kangoo Z.E (IVOTY 2012), and Kangoo Van III (IVOTY 2022).
Following on from Renault Scenic E-Tech electric, voted “Car of the Year” last February, Renault now scores a double with “Car of the Year” and “Van of the Year” titles.
The last time the brand won back-to-back awards was 27 years ago with Renault Scenic I and Master II.
