FRESH from renewing its Twingo and Scenic ranges for 2012, Renault has confirmed details for its revised model line-up, which was unveiled this week.

Focusing on more profitable business channels and models more in keeping with its Va Va Voom brand positioning, the French marque is to concentrate on seven core car and van models, plus the arrival of its latest Z.E. models, Twizy and Fluence Z.E., and soon, pre-launch activities for the eagerly-awaited Dacia brand with the Duster SUV and the brand new Sandero supermini.

The new-look Renault stable for February includes the latest two instalments from the industry's largest fully electric vehicle range, namely the opening of ordering for the Twizy range triplets ahead of April launch – Urban, Colour and Technic – priced from £6,690 plus monthly battery hire from £45. Options on arguably the most eye-catching production car on the road today include half scissor doors for £545 and 'clear sky roof' for £195. Blue, green and orange interior and exterior wraps for even greater distinction are available as a no-cost option on colour.

Joining its diminutive sibling are two new versions of the trailblazing marque's Fluence Z.E. saloon. The official launch line-up consists of two comprehensively-equipped models, Expression+ and Dynamique, priced from £17,495 on-the-road after the Plug-In Car Grant, plus battery hire from just under £70 per month. The last of Renault's bold four-model Z.E. range, ZOE, is primed to cause a stir this autumn.

The traditionally-powered cars in the Renault range continue as follows, with up to three versions per model, excluding Renaultsport. Clio and Mégane 2012 will have all three versions, Expression+, Dynamique TomTom and GT Line TomTom.

The entry-level gains 16in alloy wheels, upgraded radio with USB connectivity and Bluetooth™ and leather steering wheel, plus cruise control. Dynamique TomTom adds LEDs, plus 17in alloy wheels as a no-cost option, while the halo model GT Line

To back up its new-look range, Renault has launched a competitive customer care package on all new retail and local business orders.

The new programme, worth in the region of £900, offers all retail customers a comprehensive four year/100,000 mile warranty, four years/48,000 miles free routine servicing, four years roadside cover and four years finance (HP, lease or PCP subject to status). Larger business customers are eligible for the warranty and roadside cover elements free-of-charge.
