This includes a TomTom® navigation system, an intuitive voice recognition system which allows you to call contacts or dictate the address you want to drive to and optional parking camera.
What’s more, the Renault R-Link is permanently connected to the Internet and provides support while you are driving, including the best real-time traffic information (TomTom® LIVE) or the Coyote® early-warning system.
As with other Renault electric cars, when you purchase a model from Renault you don’t purchase the battery, it is leased to you from the manufacturer. The cost of the battery is typically in the region of €70-€80 pm and Renault suggests that this would offset a typical monthly fuel bill should you be driving a Petrol or Diesel model.
