HYBRID TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
Using our expertise in electric vehicles, experience in Formula 1 and with the enthusiasm and passion of the engineering, development and control teams, we have developed the innovative E-Tech hybrid powertrain. The best of Renault expertise and know-how in F1 has been used to bring improved performance on our best-selling cars.
Without ever having to be plugged in, the E-Tech Full Hybrid technology combines electric know-how with Renault F1’s expertise in energy management.
From starting in EV mode, the Clio hybrid will have you falling for its driving pleasure and efficiency. The electric motor and petrol engine combine for improved torque and lower fuel consumption, with the hybrid also having the ability to enter a fully electric driving mode for up to 2 miles.
Reduce your consumption in the city by up to 40% compared to a fuel-powered vehicle. Through regenerative braking, our E-Tech engine is equipped with electric technology that allows you to maximise your fully electric driving. Braking and decelerating recover energy, so you can enjoy the benefits of driving a hybrid for even longer while minimising your need to fill up at the pumps!
Discover hybrid without compromises! Our E-Tech engine is available on our iconic models, so you can benefit from optimised electric driving without compromising on the design or power of your favourite models.
full hybrid: balance between electric and combustion
E-Tech is the innovative and exclusive technology of Renault. Protected by 150 patents, it was developed in collaboration with the Renault F1 teams, and draws on our expertise in electric vehicles.
The E-Tech Hybrid drive system combines a combustion engine, two electric engines and a battery. Equipped with an automatic gearbox, our hybrid vehicles are efficient and smart in terms of energy management. Drive even greater distances in full electric mode!
All kinds of savings!
In addition to saving money as a result of lower fuel consumption, maintenance costs are also reduced.
The electric engine has fewer parts than the combustion engine and requires less frequent maintenance. For hybrid cars, wear and tear are reduced due to alternating between the combustion and electric engines, resulting in fewer oil changes and less overall maintenance, which means more money in your wallet!
The smooth electric ride
With a fully electric start-up and energy recovery optimisation technology, Renault hybrid vehicles have been developed to drive as far as possible in electric mode and to create quieter journeys.
E-TECH technology adds some kick to your accelerations and makes maneuvering a breeze, for optimum comfort and handling.
They are also equipped with an automatic gearbox that controls the gears as well as the alternation between traction modes so that you can focus on the road ahead!
CAN YOU CHOOSE WHEN YOU WANT TO DRIVE IN ELECTRIC OR PETROL MODE WITH A HYBRID CAR?
Smart switchover
The switch allows the driver to go from hybrid to electric mode when the battery is sufficiently charged.
The automatic gearbox in hybrid vehicles not only shifts gears but also switches from hybrid to electric mode based on two criteria: pressing down on the accelerator and the battery’s charge level.
The car starts up in electric mode automatically and stays in this mode up until a speed between 43 mph and 80 mph. If additional power is needed, or if the battery’s charge is too low, then the car will activate the combustion engine.
Our electric vehicles have been engineered for optimum range with smooth body lines to reduce drag and a heat management system to improve battery efficiency. Driving style, weather and terrain can all impact the overall range, however our digital displays always keep drivers up to date with their range.
Remove the stress of driving in urban traffic with an electric vehicle. With no engine vibration or noise, driving is a calmer experience, and drivers can also benefit from accessing low emission zones for free including London’s ULEZ.
Pedestrians and residents also greatly benefit from reduced emissions and air pollution in the local environment. Switching to an electric vehicle helps keep people healthier and our environment cleaner
