Renault Clio E-Tech
Sustainable energy
The battery is a lithium-ion battery with 1.2 kWh, working at 230 V and cooled by the climate control system in the passenger compartment. It weighs 38.5 kg and powers a 35 kW (48 hp) motor/generator.
This main electric motor is responsible for transmitting torque to the wheels and, when braking and decelerating, works as a generator to charge the battery.
There is also a second electric motor, smaller and less powerful, with 15 kW (20 hp), whose main function is to start the petrol engine and synchronize the gear changes in the innovative robotic gearbox.
Live an unprecedented electric driving experience. The New CLIO E-TECH Hybrid combines electric and thermal motors with a particularly efficient multi-mode automatic gearbox. The result: systematic starts in electric traction, maximized electric driving up to 80% of the time in the city and the pleasure of silent electric driving
The CLIO E-TECH Hybrid will give you the pleasure and safety of fast accelerations, thanks to 140 hp of combined power. The immediate response capacity of its electric motors, associated with the Multi-mode automatic gearbox, allows for quick starts and fluid gear changes. Enjoy different MULTI-SENSE modes to customize your driving experience.
Interior
Inside, the differences boil down to logos and information regarding the hybrid system on the instrument panel (7”), as well as the additional menu on the infotainment system screen (9.3”).
Moreover, the quality of the materials places the Clio at the top of the segment in this chapter, as well as the assembly, due to the absence of parasitic noise, shows a clear evolution compared to the first examples of this generation that reached the market.
