ROME (ITALPRESS) – Renault introduces Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp, equipped with a new plug-in hybrid engine specially designed for this model. It stands out for both performance (recovery from 80 to 120 km/h in 4 seconds) and energy efficiency, mainly due to the optimized operation of its four motors, one of which is thermal and three electric. Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp is able to offer up to 1,000 km of total range for long journeys and the best fuel consumption on the market in the WLTP cycle, even with a discharged battery: 0.5 liters/100 km in a mixed cycle and 5.8 liters/100 km with a discharged battery. These are best-in-class figures that allow you to take advantage of plug-in hybrid technology without constraints. In everyday driving, Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp operates as a 100% electric car on demand, with a range of up to 105 kilometers or, in full hybrid mode, takes advantage of the well-known efficiency of E-Tech technology. The battery, which boasts a remarkable 22 kWh capacity, can be recharged from an outlet or station, but also while driving, thanks to regenerative braking. In addition to this unprecedented powertrain, Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp is distinguished by the new Atelier Alpine trim, which features a chassis and dynamic driving system developed by Alpine Cars engineers, as well as active suspension with predictive camera. Combined with all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, these elements offer a technical configuration never before seen in the market of generalist manufacturers, reconciling an unparalleled level of power, agility and dynamism. Not forgetting, of course, the comfort and well-being of the occupants, in the spirit of the voitures à vivre so dear to Renault. Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp thus offers an unprecedented experience, with the Atelier Alpine trim distinguished by specific 21″ wheels and the exclusive Blue Sommit Satin option color. Produced at the Palencia plant in Spain, Renault Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp will arrive in Italy in late 2024.(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Renault press office-
