Incroyable! It’s a gold medal for the all-new Renault Rafale
It’s been a shorter wait than normal for the 2024 Olympics (three years instead of the usual four courtesy of the ‘pandemic that shan’t be named’), and Paris is up as the host city.
And as we look forward to the big event, what better way to show our appreciation for our cousins across the Channel than by celebrating their raging success with the release of the groundbreaking All-New Renault Rafale?
Inspired by the magnificent racing aircraft, the 1934 Caudron-Renault Rafale, the dynamism of the four-wheeled version takes driving to new heights.
Under the hood
On your marks, get set, go! The All-New Renault Rafale’s powerful E-Tech 200hp full hybrid engine combines a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors and an electric battery.
It’s a brilliantly smooth and powerful performance and an eco-conscious drive that makes it perfect for zipping around the city – maybe even cruising the Paris 2024 marathon route from the Hôtel de Ville (Paris city hall) across the city, taking in the spectacular sites and monuments, and finally past the Esplanade des Invalides.
Coming later in the year is the 4x4 300hp plug-in hybrid powertrain, with a powerful 22kWh battery to give you even more of a boost as you ‘Tour de France’.
Practical matters
Fresh sculpted lines, a new lighting signature, a sophisticated grille and a design as streamlined as Adam Peaty competing in the Paris La Defense Arena, the Rafale’s sleek sportback body is designed to stand out – an assured winner in everyone’s eyes.
And with Renault’s 4Control advance system, your Rafale is tailored to always deliver the perfect turning circle, with expert pivoting to improve your overall stability, meaning you can handle any road surface with complete confidence. Castellet 20-inch diamond-cut alloy rims provide a further robust feel, and with the solarbay darkening glass panoramic roof, you’ll see every cityscape and skyscape in crystal clear definition.
The ins and outs
You’ll feel just like a heroic Olympian in the cabin space of the Rafale. Sit in premium comfort in the Rafale’s sporty seats, which have been designed for optimum support and comfort for both drivers and passengers and are embedded with the esprit Alpine logo to emphasise the Renault flourish.
Immerse yourself in the innovative nature of the Rafale, with the driver-oriented instrument positioned perfectly to ensure total control of your on-the-go connectivity at all times! Be fully immersed with all the audio commentary as you ride the rollercoaster of the heptathlon with Katarina Johnson-Thompson, dive into the action with Tom Daley, be awestruck by the gymnastic skills of Max Whitlock and soar to new heights with Sky Brown. You won’t miss a moment of all the Olympics action with the built-in Google functions that give you more than 50 apps from the comfort of your Rafale.
Two extending armrests not only provide premium comfort but can hold a host of your entertainment devices. And with two USB-C ports, everything can be charged up and ready to go as you travel. Plus, with up to 31 driver assistance systems, including distance warning, active driver assist and adaptive cruise control, navigating the likes of the Etoile around the Arc de Triomphe is ‘Pas de probleme’ (no problem).
