Introducing the Renault Rafale: A Blend of Power and Style

The Renault Rafale emerges as a remarkable coupé SUV, poised to redefine the driving experience. Sharing its foundation with the Renault Austral family SUV, the Rafale transcends expectations with its sophistication. Standing at 4.7 meters in length, this vehicle exudes luxury and targets competitors such as the Citroën C5 X, Cupra Formentor, and Peugeot 408.

  • Combining sleek design and performance

    The exterior of the Rafale is a testament to its design prowess. The front grille, with its illusion of bright blue backlighting, transforms its appearance depending on your vantage point. Enhanced by sleek LED lights at the front and rear and rugged body cladding, the Rafale effortlessly balances aesthetics with a robust presence.

    Notably, adaptive headlights come standard, dynamically shaping their beams to ensure optimal visibility during night drives while avoiding glare for fellow motorists. The Rafale is powered by an innovative hybrid engine and offers a spirited driving experience. The hybrid configuration comprises a petrol engine and two electric motors—one for the front wheels and the other integrated into the automatic gearbox.
