All the prices for the Renault Rafale 4X4 with 300 horsepower

Renault has opened orders for the high-performance version of its Rafale equipped with a hybrid engine of 300 horsepower.

Rafale is definitely the pleasant surprise of this year at Renault, to the point of overshadowing the new R5 100% electric. This couped SUV has everything going for it: a name that resonates like a propeller blade slicing through the air, a modern and sleek design, and hybrid engines. It’s impossible to know if Renault anticipated the current love for these thermal/electric mixes, but it’s a master stroke.

Revealed in May 2024, this spirited Rafale features a new E-Tech plug-in hybrid engine with 300 horsepower. In addition to an optimization of the internal combustion engine, the increase in power comes from the addition of an electric motor on the rear axle. As the base Rafale is strictly front-wheel drive, you understand that this sporty variant benefits from a permanent all-wheel-drive system, ensuring more grip and optimized handling.

In detail, the thermal engine adopts a new turbocharger, which raises its power to 150 hp (110 kW). The Rafale now has three electric motors, two primary and one secondary, with the second primary electric motor permanently connected to the rear axle to provide 100 kW (136 hp). The electric system is powered by a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery that ensures up to 105 km of 100% electric range. Thanks to the magic of hybridization, the combined range of the beast reaches up to 1,000 km with a full battery thanks to the 55-liter fuel tank.

100% Alpine

With sportiness in mind, the Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300 hp offers a clear range, exclusively directed at A fléché, starting at 54,500 euros for Esprit Alpine and 59,000 euros for Atelier Alpine. It will soon be possible to access the Renault configurator.
