E-Tech full hybrid technology
E-Tech full hybrid vehicles have 2 electric motors and a combustion engine.
Full-hybrid vehicles do not need to be recharged: the battery charges automatically as you drive, which helps to optimise your fuel consumption and make your everyday life easier. Enjoy 100% electric driving for up to 5 minutes and at up to 130 kph* whilst getting the driving range of a combustion-powered vehicle.
4 facts about E-Tech full hybrid
INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE
E-Tech full hybrid technology was developed in collaboration with Groupe Renault’s F1 experts and it included over 200 patents.
OPTIMISED
E-Tech full hybrid powertrains feature the latest technological advances to optimise their performance and allow you to drive 100% electric for up to 5 minutes and at up to 130 kph*.
COST-EFFECTIVE
On the open road or in town, a full hybrid vehicle consumes up to 40%* less than a combustion-powered vehicle.
SILENCE
Your full hybrid vehicle starts silently and drives in electric mode for up to 80% of your journeys in town.

E-Tech full hybrid technology in daily life
With uninterrupted driving pleasure and reduced CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, E-Tech full hybrid vehicles make your everyday life easier.
reduced fuel consumption
Renault E-Tech full hybrid vehicles let you alternate automatically between electric, hybrid and combustion engine driving.
You get the best compromise between performance and consumption, whilst saving up to 40% fuel.

simplified maintenance
Our hybrid motors are designed to make maintenance more simple, with fewer mechanical wear parts: clutch, drive belt, etc.
This means maintenance at the same frequency as for a traditional combustion engine, but simplified and with lower costs over the lifetime of your vehicle.
clear advantages
Full hybrid vehicles offer more dynamic driving than combustion-powered cars, whilst offering additional comfort with less noise, less vibration and no odours, by driving electric.
your questions about E-Tech full hybrid technology
There are 3 categories of hybrid vehicles:
- full hybrid vehicles,
- plug-in hybrid vehicles,
- and mild hybrid vehicles.
They all have a combustion engine and at least one electric motor, as well as a traction battery.
But the traction, the type of transmission, the charging method, their fuel consumption and their environmental impact differ.
A mild hybrid operates with the combustion engine always running, with the electric motor supporting it occasionally. It consumes up to 10% less fuel than an equivalent combustion-powered vehicle. The transmission can be manual or automatic.
Full hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrids both alternate intelligently between electric and combustion powertrains.
The difference between them lies in the capacity of their battery and the charging method.
With E-Tech full hybrid technology, you do not need to plug your vehicle into a socket to get power. You recover energy during driving phases through regenerative braking. This means that you can reduce your fuel consumption by up to 40% and drive electric up to 80% of your journey time in town.
With E-Tech plug-in hybrid technology, to optimise your consumption, it is important to charge your vehicle daily using a standard socket or at a charging point. With a greater driving range, you can spend most of your everyday journeys driving 100% electric. The technology therefore saves up to 75% fuel (in WLTP cycle).
A hybrid car combines two types of powertrain: a combustion engine (petrol) and one or more electric motors. They are combined with a traction battery that stores electrical energy.
