2026 Renault Emblème

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.

2026 Skoda Elroq RS premiere

Skoda has officially launched its electric crossover, the Elroq RS, which was announced in early April. It is a sporty version of the Elroq that brings more equipment and excitement.

The Elroq RS model looks significantly different from the standard one, and is the first Skoda sports RS model with the Modern Solid design language. It is equipped with a sports chassis with a suspension that is 15 mm lower at the front and 10 mm at the rear, headlights that extend across the entire width of the car, a lot of black details on the roof rails and side mirrors, and a full-width light bar at the rear. Adaptive shock absorbers are also available as an option. Engineers have also worked on the steering, which is now much better than in the standard Elroq.

The Elroq RS has a Tech-Deck face, behind which are numerous sensors and radars for various systems such as adaptive cruise control and traffic jam assist.

The interior is the same as the standard Elroq but with a few minor updates such as green thread on the micro suede upholstery with carbon fiber trim pieces, and the 13-inch multimedia screen and 5-inch display in front of the driver now have different graphics.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Elroq RS is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 340 hp. It comes with an electric range of more than 550 kilometers on the WLTP cycle, and is currently Skoda’s fastest model, reaching 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h. It supports 185 kW DC fast charging and the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent capacity in just 26 minutes.

Deliveries will start this summer.
