2025 Renault Rafale Coupe SUV - Excelent!

Thanks: Bika Otomotiv   / bikaotomotiv   The powertrain of Rafale E-Tech 4x4 300 hp is based on the E-Tech hybrid 200 hp powertrain, with the addition of an electric motor on the rear axle and a chargeable battery with a substantial capacity of 22 kWh. This gives Rafale a range of up to 100 kilometres in all-electric mode (WLTP*). Managed by E-Tech technology, the combustion engine works with the three electric motors and the battery to deliver a total output of 300 hp. Energy management is continuously optimised for a performance/efficiency ratio on a par with the best. Rafale E-Tech 4x4 300 hp offers WLTP combined fuel consumption of 0.7 l/100 km, remaining moderate at 5.8 l/100 km even when the battery is empty, thanks to the efficiency of the combustion engine and the high capacity of the battery (WLTP homologation in progress). A new plug-in hybrid powertrain Under the bonnet, the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine has a new turbocharger, boosting power to 110 kW or 150 hp (compared with 96 kW or 130 hp for the E-Tech 200 hp version) and torque to 230 Nm (compared with 205 Nm). The multi-mode clutchless dogbox takes account of these changes. The combustion engine is combined with three electric motors (two main and one secondary) with a total output of 300 hp: the main electric motor on the front axle, developing 50 kW (70 hp) and 205 Nm of torque the second main electric motor, permanently connected to the rear axle, developing 100 kW (136 hp) and 195 Nm of torque the secondary HSG (High-voltage Starter Generator) electric motor developing 25 kW (34 hp) and 50 Nm of torque. For a dynamic driving experience, the engine and motors work together to unleash the full potential of the vehicle, with performance levels as follows: 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds (compared with 8.9 seconds for the 200 hp E-Tech hybrid) 80 to 120 km/h in 4.0 seconds (compared with 5.6 seconds for the 200 hp E-Tech hybrid) 1,000 metres from a standing start in 26.9 seconds The two main motors are powered by a 22 kWh/400V lithium-ion battery for electric driving. The secondary HSG (High-voltage Starter Generator) electric motor starts the internal combustion engine, controls gear changes on the automatic gearbox and helps charge the battery. For maximum charging power of. 7.4 kW (32A), a full recharge of the battery takes: 2 hrs 10 min. for 0 to 80% 2 hrs 55 min. for 0 to 100% Range of up to 1,000 km With the energy management system effectively optimising use of the engine and motors, standardised consumption over an WLTP* cycle is 0.7 litres/100 km (15g of CO2/km) with a full battery, and 5.8 litres/100 km (132g of CO2/km) with an empty battery. As a result, Rafale E-Tech 4x4 300 hp is on a par with the best among the high-performance SUVs in the D segment. Drawing on the ingenuity and efficiency of E-Tech technology, vehicle range is: Up to 100 km in all-electric mode (WLTP*) Up to 1,000 km of total range with a full tank of petrol (55-litre tank) and a fully charged battery (WLTP*) Smart traction for safety and dynamic performance With the new electric motor on the rear axle, Renault Rafale E-Tech 4x4 300 hp gains permanentely active 4-wheel drive. The traction of each axle is managed automatically by the E-Tech system based on driving conditions and the driving mode selected via the MULTI-SENSE settings. Torque distribution can vary instantaneously from 100% for the front wheels (front-wheel drive) to 100% for the rear wheels (rear-wheel drive). As a general rule, front-wheel drive is preferred up to 70 km/h, and rear-wheel drive for higher speeds. Predictive hybrid driving This function maximises the use of electrical energy while driving. Connected Google’s mapping data, such as the topography of the road over the next seven kilometres (or the most likely route if no destination is entered), provides advance information to the battery management system to maximise the use of electric power. A driving report is available in the form of a bar chart detailing consumption and the distance travelled in all-electric mode.
