Find your perfect RAFALE

Cars available now

The Renault Rafale is a good addition to the coupé SUV class, and impresses when it comes to standard equipment, interior quality and efficiency. It’s expensive though, and not as good to drive or as comfortable riding as its rivals.

Top-spec Iconic Esprit Alpine adds even more equipment, including the clever Solarbay glass panoramic roof, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon stereo system, a self-parking system and a 360-degree parking camera.

Combining a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors, the Full Hybrid engine gives you plenty of oomph for everyday driving, getting you from 0-62mph faster than the Peugeot 408 Hybrid. It should also be efficient, managing up to 60.1mpg, but its automatic gearbox can be quite slow to change gears though.
