New Renault Rafale Available at John Clark Renault Aberdeen
The All-New Renault Rafale is a marvel of modern automotive engineering, revealed to the world in June 2023 as a pioneering hybrid vehicle that blends efficiency with performance. Its production, which began recently, marks a significant milestone for Renault, continuing the brand's legacy of innovation and excellence.
The Renault Rafale boasts a distinctive design with a streamlined shape, accentuated by its stylish coupe style rear end. Built on the robust CMF-D platform from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, the Renault Rafale redefines sustainable development and advanced safety features. Approximately 20% of the materials used in the Rafale are sourced from recycled components, and the vehicle is 85% recyclable by mass.
The Renault Rafale's design is a striking blend of elegance and aggression. The Rafale's front end boasts a new, dynamic grille design and full LED headlights with a unique light signature. The rear features sleek, sculpted tail lights and bold body lines, capped off with the Rafale monogram that underscores its identity.
For an even more exclusive experience, the Renault Rafale comes in the high-end 'esprit Alpine' trim, which includes 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, satin chrome front and rear accents, and a matte titanium grey body finish, bringing a touch of high-performance styling to everyday driving.
Inside the Renault Rafale, the latest openR link system dominates the dashboard with dual 12-inch screens, seamlessly integrating with controls on the steering wheel for ease of use. Leveraging the Google ecosystem, the Rafale offers Google Maps, Google Assistant, and up to 35 apps from the Google Play store, in addition to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Rear passengers of the Rafale enjoy the convenience of a new smart rear armrest equipped with dual USB-C ports, ensuring devices stay charged on the go. The spacious, flat-floor cabin design provides ample legroom, ensuring comfort for all occupants.
Exclusive to the Iconic trim is the innovative Solarbay panoramic glass roof, developed in collaboration with Saint-Gobain. Utilising PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology, this roof can adjust its opacity through voice commands or a ceiling-mounted button, offering four different transparency settings for optimal comfort and light control.
The Renault Rafale offers a powerful yet efficient hybrid system, featuring a 1.6L turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of up to 300 horsepower. This hybrid powertrain ensures responsive acceleration while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency.
The Rafale's advanced battery management system allows for rapid DC charging, achieving an 80% charge in under 40 minutes at a 150kW charging station. A full charge using a home wallbox charger takes approximately 8 hours, perfect for overnight charging.
Standard features include a sophisticated heat pump and thermal management system for the battery and engine, enhancing energy efficiency and ensuring passenger comfort in various weather conditions. This system automatically regulates temperatures, maximising the driving range on a single charge.
A suite of advanced driver assistance technologies enhances safety and convenience, including adaptive cruise control, speed limiter, active driver assist, distance warning, hill start assist, automatic high/low beam, and comprehensive park assist features.
Additionally, the Rafale is equipped with traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring, and active emergency braking, ensuring a safe and confident driving experience. Isofix points in the rear seats provide secure attachment for child seats, ensuring family-friendly functionality.
