When choosing a new car, you obviously do not go overnight. With the huge range of types and models you have plenty of choice and you will eventually find the type that suits you perfectly. But have you also thought about the cleanest and cheapest drive type for you? Do you want electric, (plug-in) hybrid or perhaps LPG is the best option? With the handy test ‘choose your engine’ from Renault, you know in a few steps what the best choice is.
Do you have plans to switch to a different car and immediately to a different type of fuel or drive? Then you may no longer see the forest for the trees, because there is plenty to choose from. The key concept in the current car landscape is electrification, but it may not be obvious that you switch to a fully electric or (plug-in) hybrid car. That is why Renault also offers LPG (autogas) as a cleaner option. A fuel that is also budget-friendly. Before you take the ‘pick your engine’ test, you can read all about the different options here.
Goodbye fuel hose, welcome charging cable
More and more people are switching to fully electric driving and not without reason: it drives wonderfully, it is quiet and fast, you save a lot on maintenance and energy costs and you do not pay road tax. The Renault ZOE, with a range of 395 km, is even the best-selling electric car in Europe. The new Renault TWINGO Electric, the most affordable electric car on the market, is already a success. And for 2021, Renault has even more electrical news in store.
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid; more electric than you think
If there is ‘hybrid’ on a car, then there are two types of drive: fuel and electricity. The electric motors don’t just help the combustion engine, sometimes they take over the task completely. The Renault CLIO Hybrid, for example, runs electrically 80 percent of the time, saving up to 40 percent fuel compared to a comparable car with a fuel engine. With a plug-in hybrid – which you can charge at a wall socket or a charging station – you can even drive up to 65 km fully electric. This makes the new Renault CAPTUR Plug-in Hybrid and the new Renault MEGANE Estate Plug-in Hybrid very interesting, because you use much less fuel.
Accelerate and still save
Have you ever thought about driving on LPG? With the Bi-Fuel models from Renault, this is already cheaper than driving on petrol from 5,000 km per year. In addition, LPG is a clean and readily available fuel, also abroad. With the Bi-Fuel versions of the Renault CLIO and the new Renault CAPTUR, you can refuel very economically and therefore you will lose less than half of the fuel costs compared to a petrol version.
