THE ADVANTAGES OF A RENAULT E-TECH PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE
savings
E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicles also offer attractive savings in use, while providing unparalleled driving pleasure.
fuel side
Save up to 75% fuel* compared to a thermal vehicle during your city trips. This saving is explained by the low demand on the thermal engine which only has the function of providing support to the electric motor with a recharged battery.
*in WLTP cycle

maintenance side
The thermal engine wears out less quickly because it is less stressed, which allows you to save money on the maintenance of your vehicle.
The electric motor is made up of fewer complex parts and does not require specific maintenance.
In addition, the traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km.

comfort
your daily life in electric
The battery of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is larger than that of a non-plug-in hybrid vehicle. You can therefore travel greater distances 100% electric, up to 50 km in mixed use (WLTP standard) or a real range of between 30 and 60 km.
silence and dynamism
In 100% electric mode, discover new driving sensations: smooth, dynamic, silent and vibration-free.
preformance
The alternation of the electric and thermal motor allows you to always be in the best driving conditions. Smooth and quiet in town, dynamic and responsive on mixed roads. The performance of 2 types of engine, in a single car.
freedom
If the E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicle is capable of automatically identifying which traction mode is most suitable, the EV button, located on the dashboard, allows you to drive 100% electric on demand*.
*depending on battery charge
ecology
reduced emissions
E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicles emit up to 75% less CO 2 than thermal vehicles. Emissions are notably reduced on your city trips with a charged battery which allows you to drive on average up to 50 km on 100% electric.
recycled battery
Drawing on our electrical expertise, we are now able to offer battery recycling superior to that required by European regulations.
With the help of partners and specialized companies, end-of-life batteries are reused in other machines and then their materials are recycled.
your questions about the advantages of the 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.
