Renault Master vs Mercedes-Benz Vito

The Renault Master starts from $55,990 before on-road costs, while the Mercedes-Benz Vito opens at $63,000. That makes the Renault Master the more affordable entry point by $7,010.

Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $61,589 and $69,300 respectively.

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

Both come with modern infotainment systems.

The Renault Master stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto that you will not find on the Mercedes-Benz Vito. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.

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 Mercedes-Benz Vito lines up making 120kW and 380Nm, paired to a 9-speed automatic driving the rear wheels.

The Renault Master has the clear power advantage at 125kW vs 120kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.

The Renault Master measures 5,685mm long on a 3,585mm wheelbase, 545mm longer than the Mercedes-Benz Vito at 5,140mm (3,200mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Renault Master generally means more rear legroom.

For towing, the Mercedes-Benz Vito leads with a 2,500kg braked capacity vs 2,000kg. That 500kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.

Running cost data is not yet available for both models. We will update when figures are confirmed.

Warranty: 5 years (Renault Master) vs 5 years / 200,000km (Mercedes-Benz Vito). Both match on warranty length.
