Renault EASY CONNECT: an enriched offer and a new connected multimedia system Groupe Renault continues its strategy of deploying connectivity and related services on all of its vehicles. New Clio benefits from an enriched version of the Renault EASY CONNECT offering. It notably includes the all-new Renault EASY LINK multimedia system, along with the MY Renault application. The aim of this offer, which brings together a universe of applications, platforms and connected services, is to facilitate new connected mobility uses, both inside and outside of the vehicle: remote vehicle management, more precise trips that are easier to program, integration of the driver’s and passenger’s connected universe into the car. Thanks to this new ecosystem, the Renault EASY CONNECT offering will be adapted to each user and will be gradually enhanced with new services for all multimedia equipment on which it is deployed. In order to offer a better on-board experience, the New Clio stands out with its "Smart Cockpit" for more immersive driving and services that contribute to the comfort and well-being of its occupants. For the first time, MULTI-SENSE adjustments, already present in higher segment vehicles (the Megane, Talisman, Espace, etc.) are offered on the Clio. We also find the BOSE premium sound system, which appeared in the last generation, in a completely new version, for an even richer sound experience. New CAPTUR The New Renault Captur, presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show. A pioneer in the urban SUV segment, 1.5 million Capturs have been sold in over 90 countries since its launch in 2013. It rapidly became the best-seller in its segment, both in France and Europe. In an extremely competitive market, the New CAPTUR is reinventing itself by highlighting the DNA that made it such a success. Its look is being transformed into a modern, athletic and dynamic SUV. Still just as modular, it becomes more roomy thanks to an interior revolution that lets it change dimension both in technological and qualitative terms. Its features are worthy of a higher segment model. The New CAPTUR is the second car to be based on the new Alliance CMF-B platform and benefits from the same new technology as its sister, the New CLIO. Among the CAPTUR’s unique innovations and technologies. True to its tradition of being a pioneer in the market, in 2020, the New Captur will be the first accessible model in its segment to offer rechargeable hybrid technology. Called E-TECH Plug-in, it was developed within the Alliance. Benefiting from its expertise as the European leader in electric mobility, Renault is rolling out the hybrid to a wider audience by offering a unique driving experience accessible to all. Through a popular, iconic model such as the New Captur, this E-TECH Plug-in technology will be offered in the longer Life on board: a new experience with MULTI-SENSE and BOSE premium E-TECH plug-in HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

term from the intermediate finish model. Focusing on customer expectations, it will offer the best autonomy in electric mode and the best performance on the market for a general public rechargeable hybrid model. Renault engineering has filed over 150 patents for the New Captur’s E-TECH Plug-in technology. It uses components designed within the Alliance, like its new generation 1.6 liter gasoline engine specifically redesigned for this purpose, and equipped with a particle filter to reduce pollutant emissions. It is accompanied by two electric engines, an innovative multi-mode dog clutch gearbox (an architecture synonymous with better energy efficiency, and the result of the Renault F1 Team’s experience) and a 9.8 kWh battery. Similar to the technology equipping the New Clio E-TECH, the innovative E-TECH Plug-in technology on the New Captur offers maximum electrical efficiency in use: systematic start in electric mode, silence and comfort when driving, cutting-edge dynamic reactivity for unrivalled driving pleasure, reduced energy losses. Thanks to a braking system borrowed directly from the electric vehicle and Renault’s expertise in energy management from F1, the excellent performance of the E-TECH Plug-in engine enable it to recover and restore a maximum of energy for fast battery recharging during plug-in phases. With its ability to operate in electric mode for 45 kilometers at up to 135 km/h in mixed road mode (WLTP) and around 65 km in urban use (WLTP City), the New Captur has unrivalled versatility: it can operate without consuming fuel on everyday trips and take you on long trips at the weekend and vacations without autonomy issues. Thanks to its specific storage, ability to continuously regenerate energy and its two electric engines, the New Captur operates on long trips as an E-TECH hybrid model and retains the major advantages of this system: electric starting and reduced consumption. TCe 155 FAP, for maximum driving pleasure The 155hp 270 Nm version of the 1.3 TCe FAP engine is designed for drivers who want to take advantage of the dynamic qualities of the New Captur and its new CMF-B platform chassis. The driving experience is improved with the automatic dual-clutch 7-speed gearbox. The paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel and the MULTI-SENSE Sport mode provide even more sportiness and driving pleasure for those seeking such sensations. This 155hp/270 Nm version of the 1.3 TCe engine is the result of specific calibration work compared to the 150hp/250 Nm version that it replaces. This has enabled optimized consumption and CO 2 emissions as part of the WLTP protocol. New ZOE: electric mobility reinvented The New ZOE is even more high-performance thanks notably to its improved power and range. Its design gives it even more character. And it provides a range of high-tech equipment for driving and on-board comfort. The pleasure of 100% electric driving takes on a new dimension! The launch of the third generation of Renault’s flagship 100% electric vehicle is a major milestone in the Group’s strategy to develop electric vehicles on a large scale.
