The Renault Rafale impresses when it comes to standard equipment, interior quality and efficiency, but it's not as sharp to drive or comfortable as some of its less-expensive rivals. If you do buy one, we recommend going for the Hybrid 200 in entry-level Techno trim – although company car drivers will be better off with the PHEV version.
This top-spec trim is only available with the plug-in hybrid Rafale. It's essentially the same as Iconic Esprit Alpine but adds adaptive suspension, a gesture-controlled powered tailgate, a black rear spoiler and a Snow driving mode to make the most of the four-wheel-drive system.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
