Renault Rafale SUV is ready for the dog fight as the brand's most potent weapon yet.
1/10 Renault has taken the covers off of its latest flagship product - the Rafale SUV. The name and the vehicle model itself draws inspiration from the heritage of the Rafale fighter planes that have a long history of serving defence forces around the world.
2/10 Rafale is being positioned as the new flagship model from the French manufacturer and will be officially launched in select markets in the first quarter of 2024.
3/10 The SUV is based on the company's CMF-C/D platform which underpins models like Austral SUV and the seven-seat Espace SUV. This plaform, says Renault, helps open up a whole lot of space in the cabin of the vehicles.

5/10 Rafale SUV gets a panormaic roof but this roof is very special. It gets multiple tint control functions which can be adjusted using Google Voice assist.
6/10 Renault also says that there is a key focus on sustainability with a lot of recycled materials used for upholstery purposes.
7/10 Rafale also seeks to be premium and unique in terms of its exterior design language. The vehicle's grille makes use of diamond-shaped elements on the face that enclose the new brand logo design.
8/10 The headlight shape and design is also new. Rafale gets headlights that boast of LED Adaptative Vision technology which adapts to the driving conditions.
9/10 Renault Rafale SUV gets the company's E-Tech hybrid system and the front-wheel drive variant gets a 1.2 liter three-cylinder petrol engine with a combined output of 130 hp. There is also an all-wheel drive variant with a combined output of an impressive 300 hp.
10/10 The SUV measures 4710 mm in length, is 1,860 mm wide and stands 1,610 mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 2,740 mm. On launch, it will be offered in five colour options including two previously unreleased ones: a new White Pearl Satin and a new Alpine Blue tone.
