RENAULT E-TECH PLUG‑IN HYBRID VEHICLE ADVANTAGES

E-Tech plug-in hybrid - advantages - Renault
SAVINGS
You can save up to 75% of fuel with plug-in hybrid vehicles (WLTP cycle). If you use your battery exclusively, you can drive fully electric all of the time. You can also save on vehicle maintenance with fewer replacement parts.
COMFORT
Plug-in hybrid cars represent the combination of two technologies and their respective benefits - the reassurance of the combustion-powered engine combined with the responsiveness of the electric motor.
ECOLOGY
CO₂ emissions reduced by up to 75%

savings

E-Tech plug-in hybrid vehicles also offer attractive savings on running costs, while providing unrivalled driving pleasure.
DAILY USE

fuel
Save up to 75% fuel* compared to a combustion-powered vehicle during your trips around town. This saving is due to the reduced demand on the combustion-powered engine. When driving with a charged battery it only works to assist the electric motor. *in WLTP cycle

maintenance
The combustion-powered engine lasts longer because it is used less, which means you save on vehicle maintenance.
The electric motor is built using fewer complex components and does not require any specific maintenance.
In addition, the traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km.

everyday life in electric
The battery of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is larger than that of a non-plug-in hybrid vehicle. So you can travel further fully electric, up to 50 km in combined use (WLTP standard), for an actual driving range of between 30 and 60 km.
PERFORMANCE AND SIMPLICITY

your questions about the advantages of plug-in hybrid

WHY IS HYBRID TECHNOLOGY AN INNOVATION?
The main innovation of the hybrid car is the integration of two types of engines in the same vehicle: an internal combustion engine and one, or even several, electric motors.
Integrated technology automatically manages the switchover between three different driving modes: electric, combustion-powered and hybrid (which uses internal combustion and electric energy).
The major benefit of the hybrid vehicle is that it combines the practical aspect of a combustion-powered car with the environmental and economical advantages of the electric powertrain.
Based on our experience acquired in F1, energy management and the multimode automatic gearbox offer significant day-to-day versatility while offering performance and economy.
ARE HYBRID CARS RELIABLE?
Our hybrid vehicles are of course reliable and benefit from our expertise in developing electric powertrains and combustion engines.
Due to their hybrid design, the combustion-powered engine is not used so much during the most impactful phases - start-up and acceleration…
Not only that, the design means that there is no clutch or drive belt, so less maintenance is required. And by limiting replacement parts, maintenance costs are lower.

A hybrid vehicle has a combustion-powered engine and one or more electric motors. It switches between these two power sources depending on the road profile, required speed and battery charge level.

Renault’s hybrid vehicles benefit from our wealth of car manufacturing experience in the e-mobility sector. Renault also trains its entire network on the specific features of hybrid vehicles - Renault advisors are ready to welcome you and assist with your vehicle maintenance. Lastly, hybrid car traction batteries are guaranteed for 8 years/160,000 km.
