E-Tech hybrid technology, less consumption
Our full hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains help to reduce fuel consumption through smart electronic management of the different motors.
The electric and combustion components operate independently or together, as needed, to reduce fuel consumption.

the consumption of full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles
Full hybrid vehicles have been designed to optimise your journeys and make your everyday life easier. Petrol, electricity, “driving range”... here is some key information about full hybrid E‑Tech technology.
- fuel savings
- managing consumption
- electric driving
- the consumption of full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles
fuel savings
The main difference with combustion-powered vehicles is in the fuel savings. They can be up to 25% on so-called “mixed” journeys (in the countryside on clear roads) and these savings can reach up to 40% in town.*
*WLTP references
managing consumption
Switching between the different traction modes (electric, hybrid and combustion) helps full hybrid vehicles to consume less fuel than the equivalent combustion engine models.
Consumption is optimised by automatically switching from one mode to another and using regenerative braking. The car’s energy management system permanently and autonomously controls consumption.
electric driving
In a full hybrid vehicle, we talk about time spent in electric driving mode, rather than driving range.
In a full hybrid E‑Tech vehicle, the battery recharges itself depending on how much you brake and slow down, meaning that full driving time cannot be pre-calculated. However, we estimate that electric driving time can cover up to 80% of your urban journeys.
the consumption of full hybrid E‑Tech vehicles
- Austral full hybrid E‑Tech: from 4.6 L / 100 km*
- Clio full hybrid E‑Tech: from 4.1 L / 100 km*
- Captur full hybrid E‑Tech: from 4.7 L / 100 km*

electric driving and consumption solutions
the “E-Nav” and “predictive hybrid driving” functions
E-Tech technology is associated with the Hybrid Predictive Driving function to help optimise the battery charge according to your destination.
Depending on where you are, the car determines exactly when it will pass through a city or encounter a specific topography and knows when to use combustion, hybrid or 100% electric driving. This improves your fuel consumption and driving range, as well as your vehicle’s performance.

E-Save mode
With E-Save mode, you choose to keep at least 40% of the electric driving range of your vehicle to be used at the best time.
