Renault has unveiled its new global flagship model, the Rafale SUV coupe.
Its name comes from a French word that “evokes wind” and is also inspired by the Caudron-Renault Rafale airplane from 1934, which flew a record-breaking 445km/h at the time.
The Rafale is the first production car to showcase the brand’s new design language that will be a mainstay for the new era of Renault vehicles, and it features the latest in connected technologies and hybrid powertrains.
The SUV is slated to go on sale in Europe before the first half of 2024, however, the domestic subsidiary confirmed to TopAuto that “it’s not in the local planning for South Africa yet” but that it is “under consideration.”
