The Renault Rafale is the brand's latest flagship hybrid SUV

Рет қаралды 47,940

Жыл бұрын

With a name that evokes memories of its aeronautical past, the Renault Rafale will land early next year as the range-topping model in the French brand's SUV line up. Its styling is more dramatic than what we see in the current model range and utilises the company's latest hybrid tech to optimise fuel efficiency.

I have ordered the Austral, due in September but looking at this beauty, this is definitely on my list after three years of owning the Austral.

First comment 🙂 I must say it looks like a better and classier version of the Peugeot 4008.

@podge5555 Жыл бұрын

Totally agree. Much better executed design than the 408 which has some odd proportions

I like the Austral but I like this even more and I see initially it's getting the same engine. It'll be interesting to see how it gets 300hp as I doubt it'll be from the same twin electric motors and 1.2 3 cylinder engine, I imagine it'll be a plug in hybrid. I'm sure neither will be that cheap to buy or insure but I'm definitely interested. It has shades of Peugeot's 408 about it. Will be watching this closely as I have a 7 year old 1.6 diesel Kadjar which I'm planning to upgrade to something else in the future but I'm thinking of keeping it for a while longer until I see whether I can get an Austral or one of these as an ex demo model like my current car and therefore save myself some money too.

The panoramic sunroof is exceptional, but what's the point if it can't be opened? Explain why everyone avoids it at presentations to say... The price of 300hp will be €70,000. extremely high

@neuro.weaver Жыл бұрын

It looks very nice. However, it will all come down to its pricing. If they keep it below 40,000€, it will compete with a lot of 3008s, Tiguans, Q3s and even X3s. If they go crazy with their price, it will share the same fate as the other Renaults SUVs.

@CompletecarIe Жыл бұрын

Renault isn't shy about calling this its flagship SUV, so we expect it will carry a higher price.

It's very much chasing after the Peugeot 2007 and 3007 But it's not helping the fact that there's no small and modest sized cars and too many Crossovers Nd SUVs because of short term profitablity.

@oliverstemp9132 Жыл бұрын

There’s the Arkana if you want something cheaper. That’s also quite nice.
