On New Renault Master, the 1.9 dCi (F9Q) engine is replaced by the 100hp (74kW) 2.5 dCi (G9U). The mid-range 120hp (88kW) version gains 10Nm in maximum torque, and models with manual gearboxes get a particulate filter. The 3.0 dCi (ZD30) engine is replaced by a 150hp (107kW) version of the 2.5 dCi, with particulate filter. All three 2.5 dCi versions are available with a six-speed manual gearbox or robotized transmission.


90hp (66kW) and 115hp (84kW) 2.0 dCi (on New Trafic LCV)

The 2.0 dCi (M9R) engine on New Trafic LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle) is the fruit of a Renault-led joint Renault-Nissan development. This new 1995cc unit features all the latest diesel engine technologies, including piezo-electric injectors, 1600-bar common rail, fixed-geometry turbocharger and new-generation combustion chamber. It comes in two power versions, both offering excellent response, driveability and fuel economy.

- 90hp (66kW) version. Maximum power of 90hp is reached at an engine speed of 3,500rpm, and maximum torque of 240Nm at 1,600rpm. Combined-cycle fuel consumption is 7.9 litres per 100km. This engine comes with the new PF6 six-speed manual gearbox.

- 115hp (84kW) version. Maximum power is reached at an engine speed of 3,500rpm and remains available until the limiter kicks in at 4,250rpm. With 290Nm available from 1,600rpm, the engine is both responsive and smooth. Combined-cycle fuel consumption is 7.9 litres per 100km. This engine comes with the new PF6 six-speed manual gearbox, or (from 2007) with the PA0 six-speed robotized transmission, derived from the PA6 unit.

In either version, the 2.0 dCi offers excellent response throughout its operating range, from low engine speeds up to the maximum of 4,250rpm. 90% of maximum torque is available from 1,500rpm up to 3,250rpm. These characteristics ensure power, comfort and safety.

For excellent efficiency, the 2.0 dCi engine is fitted with a Bosch piezo-electric injection system, which improves fuel injection speed. Another new feature is valve control with roller cam followers and hydraulic stops which reduces friction and thus lowers fuel consumption.

Because noise control was a priority design issue, the new engine implements various vibration-damping features, such as an aluminium bedplate, a long cast-iron crankcase skirt, and specially designed oil sump and timing cover.

The engine also uses a chain-driven timing gear, for enhanced reliability and durability without compromising on acoustic performance.



2.5 dCi engine, in 100hp (74kW) and 120hp (88kW) versions on New Renault Master, and 150hp (107kW) version on New Renault Trafic LCV and New Master

The 2.5 dCi (G9U) engine is available is three power versions across the New Renault Trafic LCV and New Master ranges.

On New Renault Master, it appears in all three power versions: 100hp (74kW), 120hp (88kW) and 150hp (107kW). On New Trafic LCV, it appears in its most powerful version, 150hp (107kW), on top-of-the range models.

The 2.5 dCi is derived from the 16-valve 2.2 dCi, with common-rail direct injection, 16-valve cylinder head, and tubular twin overhead camshafts and roller cam followers.

With the transition to Euro 4, the most powerful 2.5 dCi version develops 150hp (107kW) at 3,500rpm, with maximum torque of 320Nm at 1,500rpm. On New Master, this unit, which is fitted with a particulate filter, replaces the 136hp 3.0 dCi (ZD30). It addresses a clientele seeking a powerful and responsive engine with low fuel consumption (8.7l per 100km* overall for New Trafic LCV, and 8.9l per 100km* on New Master).
