Safety Rundown

ANCAP safety ratings have not been published for both models yet. We will update this section when crash test results are available.

Feature Showdown

Both come with modern infotainment systems. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.

Drivetrain

The Renault Master uses a 2.0L Blue dCi turbo-diesel producing 125kW and 380Nm of torque, sent through a 9-speed automatic to a FWD layout.

The Fiat Ducato responds with a 2.2L MultiJet turbo-diesel making 132kW and 450Nm, paired to a 8-speed automatic driving the front wheels.

The Fiat Ducato has the clear power advantage at 132kW vs 125kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
