2026 Renault Emblème

Leave a comment

Renault continues with the electrification of its fleet despite the reduced demand for electric cars. The new model in their offer is the Renault Emblème, a car that represents a revolutionary approach to sustainable mobility.

The Renault Group has set a goal of carbon neutrality by 2040 in Europe and globally by 2050. This model is the leader of a new era in the automotive industry, carefully designed to minimize the carbon footprint, from production to the end of its life. With a length of 4,800 mm, it achieves a carbon footprint reduction of 70% in the production of all parts. 50% of the materials used are recycled, and almost all are recyclable at the end of use.

When it comes to aerodynamics, Renault has taken care of everything. The car is equipped with components that optimize efficiency and aesthetics, such as a long sloping hood with two fins that direct air and reduce the frontal area, side cameras instead of mirrors, air vents on the sides of the front bumper and active grills that open and close for more efficient air flow, touch-sensitive door handles, curved roof pillars, seamless glass and tall, narrow tires with low rolling resistance. At the back are a large rear spoiler and a dynamic diffuser that reduce aerodynamic drag. Even the windshield wipers are hidden under the hood.

The spacious cabin with a futuristic design is equipped with a curved sopenR panoramic screen that stretches the entire length of the control panel. Comfortable seats and sensitive touch controls contribute to a better atmosphere, making every trip enjoyable.

The dual energy drive system combines a rechargeable battery for short and city driving, and a hydrogen fuel cell for long journeys of 1,000 km without recharging.
