The French automaker introduced the coupecross Rafale. The car appeared unclear. The failure of the sale will damage the financial position of the company, which is already suffering huge losses due to the political situation in the world.
The Renault Rafale is named after the Caudron-Renault C.430 Rafale sports plane released in 1934. The novelty shares the CMF-CD platform with such models as the third generation Nissan Qashqai, Renault Austral (it has already been brought to us by parallel import) and Espace. As for the size, the Rafal is larger than the Arcana known to the Russians. Length – 4710 mm, width – 1860 mm, height – 1610 mm, and the wheelbase is 2740 mm. Claimed ground clearance is 180mm.
The basic equipment of the car includes a 12.3-inch graphic instrument panel, a 12-inch touchscreen multimedia system and various electronic assistants. There are also benefits such as a panoramic roof and wireless charging for smartphones. And the interior trim is made from materials based on recycled materials.
Powertrains are hybrid only. First, buyers will be offered a 200 hp E-Tech unit based on a 1.2-liter 130 hp engine. It is combined with an electric motor with an efficiency of 70 hp. Of. Drive — front only. A 300-strong version with all the leading ones will be released later.
European sales will start in the spring of 2024. If “Rafale” will appeal to anyone, then only Europeans. And something like a niche car. But Renault has always produced world models. They made her the main cashier. From this we can conclude that the financial situation of the Frenchman will deteriorate and no hybrid will save him.
