Renault reveals the name of its new top-of-the-range coupe SUV: Rafale
Rafale is inspired by Renault’s history as an aircraft engine manufacturer in the 1930s
Renault intends to position Rafale as the new standard-setter in the D segment
Preview of the All-new Renault Rafale confirmed forthe upcoming Paris Air Show on 18 June
Renault has unveiled the name of its future top-of-the-range coupe SUV: Rafale. Rafale completes the brand’s line-up powered by E-Tech hybrid engines and built on the CMF-CD platform. Following on from the All-new Austral SUV, the All-new Rafale is Renault’s next highlight and will boost its offensive in the D segment.
The name is inspired by Renault’s celebrated past in the air. You have to travel back in time to the early 20th century to see the connection between Renault and aviation. At the time, Renault was a pioneering manufacturer of combustion engines for cars, as well as for trains and planes. In 1933, Renault took over Caudron, another manufacturer, and established Caudron-Renault. All the planes were named after a notable wind. Accordingly, the C460, a single-seater racing plane engineered to break records, was renamed Rafale in 1934.
Renault is reconnecting with its history and harnessing the legendary Caudron Rafale’s features in a new high-end car. The semantics point to wind and capture something about its camouflaged silhouette, which instantly conjures up visions of performance, daring, excitement and character.
All-new Renault Rafale’s world premiere will take place at the 54th Paris Air Show in Le Bourget this 18 June.

    One of the best and most fluid reviews I have ever watched. However, I find it (IMO) very distracting when you stand outside the car moving yourself back and forth and throwing your arms/hands in multiple directions, not having to do with pointing out things on the vehicle. Other than that, super job of showing/dissecting this vehicle.

    Hello, aren't you worried that the small engine discourages potential buyers? I hope that 300hp version will get better and bigger engine.

    2-300bhp wouldn’t get you very far in a F1 Race. I looked at changing from my 21 Megane RS 300 Trophy to an Austral but it felt flat in comparison. Hopeful that a Rafale with 300bhp ups the game?

    The 1.2L engine does sound small for a car this size ..think i will wait for road reviews before reserving judgement.

    Power is not everything, torque is important as well. A small motor can produce lots of power, but will require more rev because of lack of torque. And a weak torque engine is only fun to drive on a track.

    Max..thanks for the upload..so end of 2024 you expect stock to trickle in? Guess too early for prices just yet. Shame no rear wiper..a very ugly current trend.

    At the moment yes. They have announced pricing in france at 45,000 euro so we're expecting something close to that allowing for the conversion to pounds sterling. No idea on the rear wiper decision but I will feed it back to Renault UK.

    Renault work very closely with CAP HPI to ensure a good residual value. Being the only hybrid in the segment might do it some good compared to its rivals such as the KIA EV6 or Ford Mach E.

    @@smcmotorgroup That engine is already on other cars. Putting a lawnmower inside a beautiful car does not make that car more potent. It's just a huge lawnmower. Unfortunately. The climate change scam ruined the automotive industry. It's not Renault'S fault.
