Renault will begin the countdown to its next EV later this month, when it reveals a concept car previewing a new small electric SUV using a brand new platform.
At the company’s inaugural ‘eWays’ event - a forum running from 15 to 26 October dedicated to revealing new Renault electric and hybrid technologies and vehicles - the French firm will showcase a new concept crossover, and has teased the vehicle too.
We can’t take much from the teaser image, which appears to hint at a radical new design approach with slim, swirling LED headlights. However, the company has confirmed that the concept car will directly preview an upcoming electric SUV sitting on a new platform called CMF-EV.
The CMF-EV platform is already in use elsewhere in the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, underpinning the new all-electric Nissan Ariya. In the Nissan, two battery sizes are offered - 65kWh and 90kWh - enabling ranges of 233 miles and 310 miles on a single charge respectively.
The production version of the Dacia Spring concept - which could become the UK’s cheapest mainstream all-electric car when it arrives - will be revealed alongside the new concept car.
