THE ALL-NEW RENAULT RAFALE: CONQUERING NEW HORIZONS

With its recent overhaul of hybrid powertrains, chassis, and electronic equipment, Renault recognizes the need to provide its customers with a vehicle that delivers unparalleled driving pleasure. Moreover, the brand understands the significance of introducing a new flagship model into its lineup.

Enter the All-new Renault Rafale – a vehicle that perfectly embodies both these aspirations.


The All-new Renault Rafale is the first production vehicle entirely designed according to the new visual language that Gilles Vidal has brought in as head of Design Renault. It is ushering in a new era in Renault’s design: it is visionary, daring, perfectly in tune with its time and tailor-made for a period when everything is moving ever faster and only avantgarde models will stay attractive throughout their life cycle.

The All-new Renault Rafale also features up-to-the-minute connectivity and a 200 hp E-Tech full hybrid powertrain that is as efficient as it is frugal and uses recycled materials.

It was born to take driving pleasure to ever new heights and will be enhanced with technological breakthroughs that will rank it high up in the high-performance automotive universe with a new E-Tech 4x4 300 hp powertrain.


"The All-new Rafale is a powerful illustration of the Renault brand's new design language. It is in keeping with its DNA through generous curves, treated with great precision, combined with lines of tension and technical details that bring character and sophistication to the whole. With its unprecedented style, quality craftsmanship and proportions, the All-new Renault Rafale asserts its power and personality on the road."
