An expressive front, luxurious lines... The design of the Fluence Z.E. is modern and sleek.
From its headlights and the details in its grille, to the specially blue chrome - a signature that this belongs to the exclusive Renault Z.E. range. A sign that signifies those who are streets ahead. The style of the Renault Fluence Z.E. rocks the status quo: stating that you can be intelligent, elegant and ahead of the game at one and the same time.
A new form of driving pleasure available to everybody
Renault Fluence Z.E. was revealed in September 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the form of a concept car, before being presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2010 in its definitive form. This all-electric saloon is aimed at private buyers or fleet owners looking for a prestige vehicle that respects the environment.
A major innovation on Renault electric vehicles is the pre-conditioning system. When the car is plugged in, the driver can programme pre-heating or pre-cooling of the cabin. An Eco Mode function is also available on Renault Fluence Z.E. Activating this function limits operation of the air conditioning and heating system to increase range by up to 10%.
One of the major attractions of the Fluence ZE is its low purchase price. That doesn't actually include ownership of the battery, which may sound like a scam, as you have to pay a monthly lease fee, but it does mean that you have the peace of mind of having the battery replaced for 'free' if it ever has an issue. Renault reckons the running costs are lower than a similarly powerful diesel engine, especially when you take into consideration the lesser maintenance required.
