Renault Fluence Z.E.

GENERAL

The Renault Fluence Z.E. is an electric version of the Renault Fluence compact sedan, part of the Renault Z.E. program of battery electric vehicles. It was unveiled by Renault at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.

PERFORMANCE

Peak power of this synchronous electric motor with rotor coil is 70kW (equivalent to 94hp), while maximum torque is 226Nm (167 lb-ft). This torque is delivered instantaneously and ensures crisp, immediate and constant acceleration across the power band. It’s a unique, astonishing feeling, and perfectly suited to today’s mobility needs and driving challenges. You no longer need to shift gear, either; you just concentrate on the road ahead.

SAFETY

The structure of Renault Fluence Z.E. has been modified to ensure the same level of safety as the internal combustion-engined version of the car. Meanwhile, the rear sub-frame and chassis rails have been strengthened in order to accommodate the battery. Renault Fluence Z.E. is extensively equipped for its segment, with features including double seat belt pretensioners and six airbags as standard.

INTERIOR

Renault Fluence Z.E.’s interior comes with all the features available for the internal combustion-engined version. The on-board computer now displays essential ‘electric vehicle’ information, such as instantaneous and average fuel consumption, range, battery charge and discharge.
