The Renault Rafale E-Tech incorporates a compact yet powerful engine setup. It consists of a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine along with a rear motor producing 136 hp and a 22 kWh battery. Together, they generate a total output of 300 hp.
Performance tests show the model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, a significant improvement over the previous front-wheel-drive hybrid’s 8.9 seconds. When it comes to range, it travels up to 100 km on electric power alone and achieves an overall range of about 1,000 km. Full battery charging takes slightly less than three hours.
Model variants add distinct flair and functionality to suit different tastes and needs. The base level 'Esprit Alpine' includes Alpine styling cues, while the premium 'Atelier Alpine' features exclusive Summit Blue bodywork and adaptable suspension technology that adjusts dampers based on road conditions.
Renault has not revealed prices for the 4×4, but says it will be available to buy run across Europe this fall.
