Renault Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Explore the range of Renault hybrid and electric vehicles

Renault are a well-established manufacturer in Britain because of their distinctive blend of engineering prowess and everyday affordability. This doesn't just apply to their passenger cars either, because their range of commercial vehicles have proven to be reliable companions for the working professionals who have invested in them.

Renault have been proactive during the turn of the electric/hybrid revolution, making a range of vehicles that are usable in the real-world. Below is a brief overview of the "green" models Renault offer alongside an overview of the drivetrain differences between them.

Mild Hybrid vehicles have two sources of power, a conventional engine and a battery driven electric motor. The electric motor does not power the car; it assists it.

Hybrid vehicles have two sources of power. They automatically switch between the conventional engine and electric power depending on speed.

Plug-in Hybrids have two power sources, similar to Hybrid (HEV) vehicles. The batteries are larger, allowing you to travel further. They need plugging into the mains to recharge.

All-electric vehicles are driven purely by electricity. They need recharging before you can drive anywhere.

Renault E-Tech

White Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid Driving

Renault's E-Tech Hybrid technology has been developed based on Formula One experience and electric expertise. Some vehicles are plug-in hybrids, such as the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid, whereas the Clio E-Tech Hybrid is a full hybrid vehicle.

Combining a combustion engine, two electric engines and a battery, the E-Tech Hybrid drive system delivers improved torque and lower fuel consumption.

E-Tech hybrid vehicles are equipped with an electric battery that recharges itself using kinetic energy. However, with the E-Tech plug-in hybrids, the battery is charged in the same way as electric vehicles, by plugging them in.

Both full hybrids and plug-in hybrids allow you to drive in all-electric mode until the battery lacks power and the combustion engine engages to work simultaneously with the battery.

The full hybrid version of the popular small hatchback, the Clio E-Tech Hybrid delivers reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.

White Renault Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid Driving

Renault's first plug-in hybrid vehicle, the Captur E-Tech, is the most efficient, dynamic and advanced Captur to date.

With a thrilling driving experience and a hi-tech interior, Renault refer to the Megane E-tech as the GTI of electric vehicles.
