Luxury coupe SUV Renault Rafale!
The Rafale can be called a luxury off-road vehicle. The French brand will try to attract luxury and land-loving users with its new model for the D segment. However, the fact that the vehicle has lines close to the coupe form gives it a sporty appearance. It is also one of the first representatives of the brand’s new design language, along with Rafale, Austral and the renewed Clio.
When the car is viewed from the front, a grille with blue details catches the eye. In addition, the lion’s tooth daytime running lights, which belong to the new design language, take their place downwards. In addition, considering the bumper design with all these components together, we can easily say that we see a really majestic SUV.
At the back, it is possible to see the Rafale lettering with the new logo and characteristic font in the middle of the two LED taillights. It is quite easy to remember a Lamborghini Urus model, especially when the junctions of the rear window and spoiler part of the car, and the profile stance are taken into account. Because the car seems to have taken inspiration from the Urus model. The huge 21-inch wheels are specially designed for Rafale. In addition, the car is rear-wheel drive, unlike the cars Renault keeps in production.
Renault’s Rafale is powered by a hybrid system with a turbocharged three-cylinder and twin electric motor. This unit is powered by the 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 130 hp (96 kW) and 205 Nm of torque, while the main electric motor produces 70 hp (50 kW) and 205 Nm of torque. The secondary electric motor acts as a generator with 34 hp (25 kW) and 50 Nm of torque. Renault provides performance to users by offering a total power output of 200 horsepower in the Rafale model.
In addition, Rafale will have a newly developed plug-in hybrid unit with 300 hp and all-wheel drive with the addition of an electric motor to the rear in the future. In this way, a very powerful SUV dynamics will be revealed.
