Renault does not stop at the ordinary. This French automotive giant never ceases to amaze us with innovation and fresh ideas, which is reflected in their latest move - the launch of the Renault Rafale, their first model to fully demonstrate a new design vision. The Renault Rafale therefore heralds a new design language that we will witness in the future for Renault models. It's more than just a new SUV; it is a symbol of progress, a combination of elegance and power, and a heritage that goes back to the historic days of aviation. Let's take a closer look at what this new player in the automotive scene brings us.

Name Bursts is taken from the aviation industry, specifically from flight 1934, when the racing plane Caudron-Renault Rafale reached record highs 445 km/h. Now this name belongs to the new coupe-SUV – Renault Rafale, which brings a breath of fresh air to Renault's lineup. The Rafale boasts flowing lines and a dynamic design that exudes power and prestige.

Renault Bursts it is bigger than its brother Arkana / Conquest, by length 4.71 meters (185.4 inches) and 1.86 meters (73.2 inches) wide while maintaining 2.74-meter (107.8 in) wheelbase from the model Espace. But don't think this car is only for drivers - Renault promises the Rafale will deliver also for passengers. The spaciousness and comfort of the cabin come first, with a large glass panoramic sunroof and plenty of space for luggage.

As for the engine, Renault he made no compromises. The Renault Rafale will initially be equipped with a 200-horsepower E-Tech hybrid engine that combines a 1.2-liter turbo gasoline engine with a pair of electric motors. A 300-horsepower plug-in hybrid version with four-wheel drive will also be available at a later stage, giving the Rafale even more power.


But it's not just about power and looks – the Renault Rafale is also equipped with the latest technology. A 12.3-inch digital speedometer and a 12-inch touchscreen on the center console running on Android Automotive 12 offer support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

We've all heard the saying: "There's no flying without wind." And Renault caught this very wind with the new Rafale, a combination of power, technology and elegance. This new model is a symbol of how Renault strives to innovate while respecting its heritage. The car, which was designed for driving pleasure, will reach the markets in the spring of 2024. With this, Renault proves that it is moving in the right direction and that it always offers something more to its customers. We are waiting to see what happens next. Renault Rafale is a good step in the right direction.
