Renault marks its presence on the Paris Motor Show with a special edition of its Rafale flagship model, called ’hypnotic’.
Built in just 1,500 numbered units, this limited edition takes the style cues of Rafale hyper hybrid E-Tech 4×4 300 hp Atelier Alpine.
It has an exclusive satin-finish forest black paintwork, gloss black detailing, a specific interior and premium features as standard.
A ’hypnotic’ character both inside and out…
This flagship Rafale has a darker front end with a black grille, 21-inch satin-finish alloy wheels, a gloss black roof trim and boot spoiler
and last but not least a black ’Atelier Alpine’ badge.
A cabin of exceptional quality…
Showcasing the unique character of this limited edition, Renault Rafale hypnotic features special materials and finishes. These distinctive details create an environment that is sporty, sophisticated and also high-tech, with:
Upholstery mixing titanium black Alcantara® and black textured coated fabric, with blue, white and red top-stitching and a backlit Alpine “A” logo. Also an individually numbered plate.
Front and rear door panels with gloss black inserts and blue, white and red top-stitching and a titanium black Alcantara® trim strip on the upper dashboard, black door compartments matched with a black carpet
To deliver an experience on a par with its positioning, Renault Rafale Hypnotic is expanding the range of standard features. It has the following extras:
The Solarbay® opacifying glass roof, a heated windscreen, head-up display.
A limited edition of 1,500 numbered examples…
Renault will open orders for the limited-edition Rafale Hypnotic on Thursday 1 October 2026 in 14 European countries: France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Greece.
In Belgium, a price of €60.500 is set. The first vehicles will be delivered in late 2026.
High-tech plug-in hybrid technology from the ‘Atelier Alpine’.
Behind its design, Renault Rafale hypnotic embodies the high-tech of the Renault Rafale hyper hybrid ETech 4×4 300 hp Atelier Alpine.
The plug-in hybrid powertrain combines an ICE with three electric motors to deliver 300 hp of power, while maintaining efficiency for everyday use with a range of up to 105 km in all-electric mode.
The sport-tuned chassis developed by the engineers of Alpine Cars combines four-wheel drive, “4Control Advanced” four-wheel steering and self-adjusting smart suspension with a camera for predictive control. State of the art, we would say..
Needless to say that we hope to drive this impressive flagship beginning next year!
Stay tuned…
