THE ADVANTAGES OF A RENAULT E-TECH PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE
With their 100% electric driving capability, plug-in hybrid cars are compatible with the level 1 (purple) Crit’Air sticker.
savings
E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicles also offer attractive savings on running costs, while providing unrivalled driving pleasure.
fuel savings
Save fuel by driving electric. Save up to 100% of fuel on your daily journeys with its 100 km driving range (WLTP cycle).
save on vehicle maintenance
The combustion-powered engine lasts longer because it is used less, which means you save on vehicle maintenance.
The electric motor is built using fewer complex components and does not require any specific maintenance.
In addition, the traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km.
savings for business customers
By opting for a fleet of Renault E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicles for your business, you benefit from annual company car tax exemptions. This is specific to plug-in hybrid vehicles with CO 2 emissions lower than 20 g/km.
comfort
everyday life in electric
The battery of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is larger than that of a full hybrid vehicle. So you can travel further fully electric, up to 100 km in mixed use (WLTP standard) with the battery fully charged.
silence and performance
Discover new driving sensations in 100% electric mode: smooth, dynamic, silent and vibration-free.
performance
The combination of an electric motor and a combustion engine ensures that your driving conditions are always optimal: smooth and quiet in town, dynamic and responsive on mixed roads. Enjoy the performance of 2 types of powertrain, all in one car.
freedom
The E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicle can automatically identify the most suitable driving mode. Press the EV button located on the dashboard and drive fully electric whenever you want*.
*depending on the battery charge level
ecology
lower emissions
Emissions are usually lower on trips about town. Drive on average up to 100 km fully electric with a charged battery.
recycled battery
With our wealth of electric expertise, we are now able to offer better battery recycling than that required by European regulations.
With the help of specialist companies and partners, when a battery is no longer used in our vehicles, we offer it a second life before recycling its materials.
your questions about the advantages of plug-in hybrid
The main innovation of the hybrid car is to integrate two types of engine in the same vehicle: a thermal engine and one, or even several, electric motor(s).
On-board technology automatically manages the alternation between three distinct traction modes: electric traction, thermal traction and hybrid traction (which uses both thermal and electric energy).
The main advantage of the hybrid vehicle is to combine the practical aspect of a thermal car with the ecological and economic advantages of electric motorization.
Based on our experience acquired in F1, the energy management and the multi-mode automatic transmission offer great everyday versatility while offering dynamism and economy.
Obviously our hybrid cars are reliable and benefit from our electrical and thermal development expertise.
Due to their hybrid design, the thermal engine is less stressed in the most impactful phases, restart and acceleration, etc.
In addition, the design means that there is no longer any clutch or accessory belt, which simplifies maintenance and maintenance costs by limiting wearing parts.
A hybrid vehicle has a thermal engine and one or more electric motor(s). It alternately uses these different motors, depending on the profile of the road, the speed requested and the battery charge level.
As for Renault hybrid vehicles, they have benefited from the manufacturer’s long experience in the field of electric power. Renault has also trained its entire network in the specificities of hybrid vehicles: Renault advisors are already ready to receive you and assist you in maintaining your vehicle. Finally, the traction battery of hybrid cars is guaranteed for 8 years/160,000 km.
