The centrepiece of this advanced performance vehicle is the new 300 hp E-Tech 4×4 plug-in hybrid powertrain, developed specifically for this model. This powertrain is outstanding in terms of both performance (from 80 to 120 km/h in 4 seconds) and efficiency, with optimised operation of the four electric motors, one ICE and three electric. Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp has a range of up to 1,000 km for long journeys with WLTP fuel consumption on a par with the best, even when the battery is discharged (0.5 litres/100 km over a combined cycle and 5.8 litres/100 km with a discharged battery). These values are the best in the category, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of plug-in hybrid technology without experiencing any constraints. For day-to-day driving, Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp functions on demand in the same way as an all-electric car, with a range of up to 105 kilometres. Alternatively, it can function in “full hybrid” mode, where the vehicle can take advantage of the well-recognized efficiency of E-Tech technology. The battery has a substantial capacity of 22 kWh. It can be charged from a socket or charge point, as well as when the car is on the road, through the regenerative braking function.

Along with the new powertrain, Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp gains a new Atelier Alpine level trim featuring specific 21-inch wheels and, bodywork in the exclusive shade of Satin Sommet Blue, as an option.  It also features a chassis and agility control system developed by the engineers of Alpine Cars, as well as self-adjusting smart suspension with a camera for predictive control. Combined with the 4-wheel drive and steering, these features add up to a technical configuration that is unique among full-line brands, fusing power, agility and unrivalled performance. Without forgetting the comfort and well-being that is always part of a voiture à vivre by Renault. Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp delivers a whole new experience: the Atelier Alpine level trim stands out with specific 21-inch wheels and an exclusive optional Satin Summit Blue body color.

Built at the Palencia plant in Spain, Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp will launch in Europe from November 2024.

“Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 ch symbolizes our move upmarket and our legitimacy to conquer all customers with a high-performance version. It is the result of all the brand’s know-how: a super-efficient hybrid, a permanently active 4-wheel drive system, an intelligent active suspension on the Atelier Alpine version. All this so that behind the wheel, driving pleasure, traction, and road holding are guaranteed in all circumstances.” Bruno Vanel, VP, Renault Brand, Product, Revenue & International Markets Expansion
