The Clio – Renault’s popular supermini – is the definition of a success story with 30 years of providing excellent value, comfort and enjoyment. More than 650,000 Clios have been sold in the UK in the last 30 years, and the latest All-New Clio is the most advanced yet with a choice of efficient petrol, diesel and hybrid engines, a five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating and a broad spectrum of well-equipped specifications to suit all buyers. The first Renault to be built on the modular CMF-B platform, the All-New Clio boasts evolutionary exterior design with a revolutionary interior featuring premium materials and the latest technology – including 9.3-inch Easy Link touchscreen and crisp TFT Driver Information Display. Like the Clio, the Captur is a strong competitor in the UK. Since it went on sale in 2013, is has become the best-selling Renault model in the country with more than 150,000 sales. Comprehensively redesigned for its second generation, the All-New Captur comes with a range of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains across several trim levels, offering crossover buyers an enticing family car with flexible, high-quality interior, strong performance and low running costs courtesy of eight different engines. A familiar name in the UK, the Mégane has been on sale for 25 years, with a Sport Tourer estate offering available for the last 16 years. Comprehensively updated in 2020, the Renault Mégane is more advanced than ever with a refined, high-quality interior with the same technology now featuring in the Clio and Captur, eye-catching exterior styling with full LED headlamps and distinctive lighting signatures. It’s received a total of 13 awards since 2013. Three engine options are available in the updated Mégane Sport Tourer, including the new E-TECH plug-in hybrid powertrain that ensures it’s the fastest and most efficient Mégane Sport Tourer all in one. Like the Clio and Captur, the Mégane Sport Tourer boasts sculpted lines and refined, high-quality interior fittings. It remains a versatile family car with spacious boot and, giving buyers a wide range of options across the small family car and SUV range. Further enhancing the appeal of the Clio, Captur and Mégane Sport Tourer models are advanced new E-TECH powertrains, introducing hybrid and plug-in hybrid power to the Renault range for the first time. Debuting advanced technology inspired by the Renault DP World F1 team for energy optimisation and brake regeneration, all models fitted with E-TECH technology offer customers strong performance with low running costs, enhancing the driving experience and refinement of existing Clio, Captur and Mégane models. 4 5 Renault’s EV expertise Innovative technology As forerunners of electric mobility, Renault benefits from a decade’s experience Renault is also leading the way in the mobility of the future: whether connected All vehicles with E-TECH powertrains guarantee electric-only starting every in the design, manufacture, sales and after-sales servicing of electric vehicles. or even autonomous, it is undoubtedly electric. The Group’s latest major time the car is switched on, superior fuel efficiency thanks to innovative innovation is the CMF-EV platform (Common Module Family for Electric multi-mode gearbox, effective regenerative braking and high capacity Renault’s electric cars remain the most prevalent on European roads, totalling Vehicles), unveiled in the MORPHOZ concept car. Designed exclusively for battery recharging – achieved via expertise acquired on Formula 1 vehicles over 20% of all electric vehicles driven throughout the continent. The New 100% electric vehicles, this new platform pushes the limits of modularity. It and existing electric vehicles in the Renault range. ZOE remains the best-selling car in Europe and, Worldwide, the Group has will allow for the creation of several different vehicles with varied purposes already sold more than 300,000 electric vehicles as of today. The electrification of Renault models has been easy thanks to the versatile and chassis, thanks to its ability to house batteries of different sizes and CMF-B and CMF-C/D modular architectures that were designed from the start Renault was the first to believe in 100% electric mobility and continues to heights. Taking full advantage of the specificities of electric mechanics, this to accept electric capabilities. In addition, the compact E-TECH powertrains lead the way today. Innovation is in the brand’s DNA, and electric mobility platform will also offer each model an interior worthy of the category above. can also be mounted in the engine compartment of the CLIO E-TECH Hybrid, has been a strategic focus for many years. In order to better meet the The next phase of Renault’s broadening electric strategy involves diversifying ensuring there’s no compromise in practicality elsewhere. needs of customers, Renault is constantly improving, with vehicles that are into hybrid and plug-in hybrid electrification with two key offerings: E-TECH increasingly autonomous, feature connected services that make charging The hybrid series-parallel architecture ensures there’s a wide range of hybrid and E-TECH plug-in hybrid powertrains. and traveling simpler than ever, have high-tech designs, dynamic motors, and combinations relating to engine operations and the most effective CO2 gains more. Over the last few years, Renault has launched the second generation while in use on the road. of its bestselling utility vehicles Kangoo Z.E. and Master Z.E., and the third All E-TECH powertrains offer three levels of energy regeneration and generation of its flagship model, New-ZOE and the New-ZOE Van. regenerative braking: • Battery regeneration during deceleration When the driver lifts their foot off the accelerator and the gear selector is in Drive, the main electric motor works as a generator by recovering kinetic energy produced by the deceleration, turning it into electrical energy that is sent back to the battery. • B Mode To recover more energy, the gear selector can be put into B (Brake) mode, increasing the level of regeneration allowed by the battery, up to an idling speed of around 4mph. • Regenerative braking When the brake pedal is depressed, braking is triggered electrically, with mechanical braking support from the brake pads if necessary. The electric motor provides additional braking here, recovering excess energy and returning it to the battery that can be deployed again later on 6 7 E-TECH: inspired by Formula 1 The advanced E-TECH powertrains have been created with knowledge gained As with a Formula 1 car, E-TECH powertrains are designed to use the optimal from the Renault DP World F1 Team, inspiring the energy use and recovery energy output to recharge the battery whenever the energy created is more systems that are key in ensuring all Renault E-TECH hybrid and E-TECH plug- than the required power.
