The high-performance 4WD 300hp plug-in hybrid variant is now open for orders, with prices starting from £45,695 OTR.
One of Renault’s latest electrified models – the Renault Rafale E-Tech – is now available to order.
The 4WD 300hp plug-in hybrid version is a new powertrain that offers both electric and traditional power. Packed with performance, the variant promises increased efficiency and an impressive driving experience.
Read on for all you need to know about the model.
With four-wheel steering, 4WD, and a self-adjusting suspension system, the Renault Rafale E-Tech is ready for any road.
The new intelligent suspension system comes with the top-of-the-range atelier Alpine trim. This delivers precise handling and a dynamic drive, specially developed by engineers at Alpine Cars.
A powerful 136hp electric motor at the rear axle works alongside a 70hp front motor and 34hp HSG (High-voltage Starter Generator). This delivers highly efficient hybrid power, with a WLTP combined economy of 564.9mpg and emissions from just 12g/km.
Not short of power, the Renault Rafale E-Tech offers up to 1,000km (621 miles) combined range, and up to 65 miles of pure electric power. Thanks to its finely tuned, responsive chassis, it accelerates from 0-62mph in just 6.4 seconds, offering a more exhilarating drive.
Built on the latest technology, the Renault Rafale E-Tech puts you well in the driver’s seat. Renault’s 4Control Advanced four-wheel steering system makes for a better drive while reducing the turning circle by 1.2 metres.
A predictive camera also cleverly adjusts the damping according to the road conditions ahead. This helps to reduce noise and vibration, delivering a more relaxing journey for all passengers.
With MULTI-SENSE driving modes including Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Personal, the Renault Rafale E-Tech allows you to drive your way.
With a host of advanced driver assistance systems onboard, the Renault Rafale E-Tech also guarantees safety. Even with the standard techno esprit Alpine trim, you’ll enjoy features like:
Not neglecting the needs of its passengers, the Renault Rafale E-Tech is filled with features to make all passengers feel welcome.
From a heated steering wheel and front seats to ambient interior lighting and synthetic leather upholstery. There is also a range of storage options to help keep things tidy, such as the sliding centre console armrest and door pockets.
A 12” OpenR Link screen takes care of navigation and connectivity, while a 9.3” head-up display presents road information. Wireless charging is included, while a six-speaker Arkamys audio and DAB radio cover entertainment.
The Renault Rafale E-Tech’s exterior is just as appealing, with Castellet 20” diamond-cut black alloy wheels. While the atelier Alpine model receives special Chicane 21” wheels. Other features include a shark fin antenna and Matrix LED headlights, plus mirage-effect rear LED lights.
With the atelier Alpine trim, you can enjoy even more sporty style with exclusive Alpine badging, and a diamond black floating spoiler. Choose from a range of striking body colours to make a statement including Flame Red, Diamond Black, Shadow Grey, and Summit Blue. Plus, two matte colour options – Satin Pearl White and Satin Summit Blue.*
