Question 1

What is the difference between a Renault E-Tech hybrid and a plug-in?

Accepted Answer

The E-Tech full hybrid charges its small battery itself and covers short distances on electric power; the E-Tech plug-in has a larger battery charged from the mains, for longer electric-only trips. Both use the multi-mode gearbox.

Question 2

How much road tax does a Renault plug-in hybrid pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

A hybrid is taxed on its engine's CO₂ figure, so a plug-in such as the Captur or Mégane E-Tech plug-in usually pays the €30 minimum. A full hybrid pays the petrol rate on its own, higher CO₂ figure.

Question 3

What should I check on a used Renault E-Tech hybrid?

Accepted Answer

That it pulls away smoothly on electric power and shifts without clunks, since the multi-mode gearbox should feel seamless. On a plug-in, check the electric range on a full charge and that the charging cable comes with the car.

Question 4

Which new Renault hybrids are on sale in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The Clio, Captur and Symbioz with the E-Tech 160 full hybrid, the Austral, Espace and Rafale with the E-Tech 200, and the Rafale as a 300 hp E-Tech 4x4 plug-in. Trims run from Evolution and Techno to Esprit Alpine and Iconic.
