ZOE Preview

Unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, ZOE Preview features Renault's new brand identity, including the new front-end signature. The vehicle is a near-definitive representation (90 per cent) of the vehicle that will be manufactured at Renault's Flins plant, France. Its launch is scheduled for autumn 2012.

 

ZOE Preview is caracterized by electrifying looks and is powered by a 60kW (80hp) motor with torque of 222Nm and 19-inch wheels.

Mégane Coupé Concept

    Unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, Mégane Coupé Concept was the forerunner of the Mégane Coupé.

     

    This show car stands out with its dynamic, contemporary body styling. The bold looks are evident right from the front end. The main design innovation is in the doors, which open in a one-two motion, first the windows, then the door frames. Both parts open upwards with grace and elegance, like dragonfly wings.

     

    Mégane Coupé Concept is powered by a 200 hp (147 kW) 2.0 turbo petrol unit. Mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, it responds immediately to driver input.

Clio Grand Tour Concept

      Unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, Laguna Coupé Concept represented Renault’s take on the luxury sports coupé.
      With its 4Control four-wheel steering chassis and V6 dCi engine, Laguna Coupé Concept is a sophisticated blend of technology and elegance.

      Laguna Coupé Concept stands out with its long hood and ultra-short rear overhang. The car’s sleek looks are also underpinned by strong, flowing aerodynamic curves.
    Also revealed in Frankfurt, Kangoo Compact Concept is a compact and robust leisure vehicle with original proportions, announcing the Kangoo be bop. It stands out with a two-tone 3-door body and extensive glass surfaces. The car’s personable, colorful styling is enhanced by special Orange Fireball paint and brushed aluminum bodywork.  

    Kangoo Compact Concept has a system that “opens” the rear part of the vehicle in just a few seconds. The electric-sliding hinged rear roof flap and rear window fold away to reveal a large load area and provide passengers with an open-air drive.

    Kangoo Compact Concept’s roomy interior transports passengers to a playful, sporty and minimalist world. Comfort is highlighted by a savvy blend of Blue Skate leather and aluminum grey fabric, while vivifying orange touches add a cheerful note.

 

Clio Grand Tour Concept is a “grand tourer” compact station wagon featuring sharp styling that was revealed at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show. Fitted with a range of integrated multimedia technology (including video and photo equipment), it effectively marries design and leisure.

Clio Grand Tour Concept looks like a sportier version of Clio III, with larger wheel arches, emphatic side sills and a raked tailgate. The sports-flavored styling is underpinned by a 200 hp 2.0 16V engine offering flexibility and power.

Clio Grand Tour Concept offers optimal loading capacity thanks to its interior modularity and raised rear overhang.

    On the occasion of the 2006 Paris Motor Show, Renault unveiled both Koleos Concept and Twingo Concept.

     

      The Koleos Concept show car, the result of a France-South Korea design venture, was a precursor of Renault's future crossover.

      It combines: the tall body, engine and chassis of a 4x4,the roominess and stowage features of an MPV plus the comfort and vitality of a contemporary sedan.


      Koleos Concept boasts a range of features equally suited to city escapades and sporting adventures, including a 2.0 dCi engine, equipped with the latest diesel technologies and mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, a central navigation screen featuring multimedia applications adapted to sporty driving (altitude, barometric pressure, vehicle orientation and incline, etc.),and a split-opening tailgate for easy trunk access.

    With its compact looks and incisive styling, Twingo Concept has a decidedly strong personality. Its sporting nature is evident in the lively and expressive front end. Design is inspired by the world of motor sport.

    Twingo Concept comfortably seats four adults in independent bucket seats with integrated headrests. The black fabric of the seats contrasts with the sophisticated white of the seat shells.
