Renault is accelerating its electrification plan. At the Monaco Motor Show, the French brand presented the new Megane E-Tech Electric and publicly showed the Renault 5 battery-powered concept car that anticipates the shapes of the production model to come. in the next years. Apparently, however, the manufacturer would have a surprise in store for the Paris Motor Show to be held; in October 2022. According to Auto Express who had the opportunity to speak with Gilles Le Borgne , executive vice president of the car manufacturer, Renault will present; an electric SUV that will have; larger than the new battery-powered Megane.
BASED ON THE CMF-EV PLATFORM
This electric model will pogger & agrave; on the new CMF-EV platform which allows to build cars up to 4.7 m long and with a wheelbase up to 2.78 m. For how & egrave; been described, can & ograve; be seen as the heir of the Kadjar who & egrave; 4.49m long and has a 2.65m wheelbase. The name, for & ograve ;, & egrave; likely to be different. If the new SUV had dimensions similar to those of the current endothermic model, thanks to the use of the dedicated platform for the electric, it would be able to offer much more; space on board.
Speaking of the powertrain, Le Borgne says the SUV could be offered with both a 60 kWh battery and an 87 kWh one. In this second case, the maximum autonomy should be around 500 km. In direct current, the accumulator could recharge up to a maximum power of 130 kW.
For the variant with the smaller battery capacity, the electric motor should deliver 160 kW (218 hp), while for the one with the more accumulator; large, the power would rise to 178 kW (242 hp). However, Le Borgne told Auto Express that will not be; proposed a version with double engine and therefore with four-wheel drive. This scheme will be; reserved for a longer version; sport that will be proposed under the Alpine brand.
At the interior level, there will obviously be a lot of technology. The infotainment system, in particular, will be; equipped with Android Automotive OS . Since the debut is still some time away, surely there will be; way to have more information on the development of this new car. With the debut scheduled for 2022 well into the air, & egrave; likely that the SUV will then be marketed in the course of 2023.
