the advantages of Renault full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles

less fuel

With full hybrid technology, your car switches automatically between different traction modes to reduce the use of the combustion engine and fuel consumption. You can save up to 40% on fuel compared with a combustion-powered vehicle*.

greater simplicity and comfort

You get more dynamic pick-up in a full hybrid E‑Tech vehicle than with a combustion-powered vehicle. Additional comfort comes from the silence and the reduced vibrations in electric mode. Full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles recharge their own batteries and do not need to be plugged in.

fewer harmful emissions

The electric motors in full hybrid E‑Tech cars do not emit any CO₂ during use. Overall, the emissions of a full hybrid vehicle are, averaged out over driving time, up to 25% lower than a combustion-powered vehicle.

the economic advantage

Purchasing incentives, reduced fuel consumption, lower maintenance costs, tax advantages for companies, and more.

Full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles offer daily savings.

fuel consumption

Fill up less at the petrol station with full hybrid vehicles. The combined use of electric motors and a combustion engine helps to reduce your fuel consumption by up to 40%* compared to a combustion-powered vehicle.

vehicle maintenance

The maintenance frequency for a full hybrid vehicle is the same as for a combustion-powered vehicle. But the overall maintenance of hybrid vehicles is simpler and less expensive as there are fewer wear parts. Remember that the traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km.

no plugging in, 100% driving pleasure

Renault full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles do not need to be plugged in, they recharge themselves when you brake or decelerate. Flexible, dynamic and comfortable to use, with all the advantages of a combustion engine combined with the silence of 100% electric mode.

no plugging in

Do not change your habits.

 

You do not need to plug in your vehicle, it recovers energy automatically when you brake or slow down through the regenerative braking system.

simple

You don’t have to do anything!

Your vehicle’s electronic system switches automatically between the electric and combustion powertrains. So you do not need to think about your driving mode as you go. Battery charging also happens automatically through regenerative braking, when you slow down or apply the brakes.

dynamic

Renault’s electric expertise allows us to offer you hybrid vehicles that are responsive and dynamic at start-up and during acceleration. Finally, our full hybrid vehicles operate with an automatic transmission, so no need to change gear.

silent

When you use 100% electric traction, your vehicle is silent. Full hybrid vehicles are designed to favour this mode of traction, so you can drive without making a sound for most of your journeys. 

electric

Full hybrid vehicles always start in 100% electric mode and will drive electric for up to 80% of your journey time in town.

the ecological advantages

lower emissions

Full hybrid vehicles emit up to 40% less CO2 (WLTP cycle) than combustion-powered vehicles, which helps to reduce emissions of particles that are harmful for the environment.

recycled battery

We have over 11 years of expertise in the electric vehicles market, which helps us to offer battery recycling that goes beyond the requirements of European regulations. With the help of specialist companies and partners, our batteries are reused in other machines, then their materials are recycled.
